Synopsis: - Kelex diagnoses Superman as suffering from Xarxas, a Kryptonian virus long thought dead. He puts Superman in a bio remediation suit, and also informs Cir-El that her DNA, though it has certain Kryptonian traits, is fully human. In Metropolis, Bizarro has also been affected by the virus, though it tends to make him stronger rather than weaker. Superman and Cir-El head out to contain him and are able to use his physiology to provide a cure for the virus. Meanwhile, the figure that emerged from the Fortress structure makes its way towards Metropolis.
