Set in its own unique universe, *All-Star Superman* tells the story of Clark Kent facing his greatest challenge yet—his own mortality. After absorbing a fatal amount of solar radiation from flying too close to the sun, Superman begins preparing for the end while continuing to inspire hope across the world. In this emotional arc, he reveals his secret identity to Lois Lane and embarks on a heroic journey reminiscent of the Twelve Labors of Hercules. The saga builds toward a final confrontation with Lex Luthor, cementing Superman’s legacy as the ultimate symbol of courage and compassion.
