The latest super-series,My Adventures With Superman, premieres on Adult Swim and Max this weekend.

And a little more than three years after the character was born inAction ComicsNo.

1, theyd take the reins on a series of short Superman films.

The plot is simple: A mad scientist created a big laser.

President of the United States?

Luthor has done it all!)

And in The Case of the Stolen Powers, the show tackles a common Superman plot line with aplomb.

What happens when the man loses all the traits that make him super?

Turns out hes still super.

Superman isnt brave because he has powers rather, his true power lies in the fact that hes brave.

Lane, often portrayed as either an intrepid journalist or a love-lorn chump, is decidedly the former here.

In Brave New Metropolis, Lois Lane finds herself in a new dimension where shes died.

As a result, Superman, driven by grief, teams up with Lex Luthor to take dictatorial control.

Apokolips … Now!

However, with his near-unstoppable might comes the reveal of the effect that Superman has had on Metropolis.

Even with Superman seemingly defeated, the people of the city continue to fight back against the alien warlord.

Hes paranoid about a traitor in the ranks but Batman discovers that the traitor is Superman himself.

Its a tear-jerking look at what Superman doesnt have that shows who he is.

Thus, he needs to be convinced of his own potential.

But like all Supermen, he will come to learn of his mighty efficacy.

As such, we rarely get to see his workplace life outside of interactions with a few key characters.

For all of Supermans strength, Kryptonite isnt the only thing that makes him hurt.
