On an alternate Earth, Clark Kent comes of age during the 1960's and struggles to determine what role he should play in the world. After the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and with tensions increasing with the Soviet Union, General Sam Lane hears differing defense contract proposals from Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor on how America should proceed to ensure the future. Meanwhile, Clark meets a man name Pariah, who claims that Earth is doomed and will end in about 20 years. Luthor takes steps to accelerate war with the Soviet Union which will benefit him in the long run.
Publisher’s description
After years of standing idle, the young man from Krypton defies the wishes of his fathers to come out to the world as the first superhero of the Space Age. As each decade passes and each new danger emerges, he wonders if this is the one that will kill him and everyone he loves. Superman realizes that even good intentions are not without their backlash as the world around him transforms into a place as determined to destroy itself as he is to save it.
