| Synopsis | Superman returns to New Krypton where his aunt welcomes him. She tells him that as a newcomer, he may choose his place in Kryptonian society as a member of any of the many guilds. Accompanied by labor guild member Tyr-Van, Superman sets off to explore New Krypton and consider his choice. When Tyr notices that they are being followed by a pair of Zod's men, Superman decides it is time to talk with the General, but meets resistance from Non. In the end, Superman decides that the Kryptonian guild system is wrong and refuses to choose one for himself, but Alura informs him that one will then be chosen for him, and Superman finds himself working under Zod in the military guild. |
