Warning! Preview pages ahead for Superman #27!He might have red kryptonite coursing through his veins, but Superman is getting a hold on his brand-new rage powers. Clark Kent had a nasty run-in with some villains not too long ago, and they infected him with a synthetic form of the most dangerous kryptonite, bringing out the scariest side of DC’s number one icon.
After months of teasing, fans have seen just what kind of monster this red kryptonite has turned Superman into. Clark’s anger has him literally seeing red and seething, making him a danger to himself and Metropolis. Now his old ally, Marilyn Moonlight, has returned to take him down by any means necessary in order to protect the city. But, as one would expect, the Man of Steel isn’t completely lost yet, and seems to have control over his mighty rage, hinting that not only has Superman mastered his new power, he could potentially use it for good.
Superman Can Control His Red K Rage Power
Things Aren’t as Dark as They Seem For The Man of Steel
In a preview for Superman #27 by Joshua Williamson, Eddy Barrows, Eber Ferreira, Sean Izaakse, Alejandro Sánchez, and Ariana Maher, it’s an average night in Metropolis. At the Daily Planet, Lois Lane, having lost her Superwoman powers, is burning the midnight oil. While Lois struggles to get back to work, she’s overjoyed when she’s visited by an old friend: Jimmy Olsen. Though things looked bad for Olsen after the encounter with Superwoman and Radiant, he’s out of the hospital and eager to get back to work.
While Jimmy is happy, his partner, Siobhan Smythe, isn’t exactly thrilled. She still blames Superwoman for Jimmy getting hurt and Lois (still feeling guilty for being unable to protect Jimmy) says that the blame lies with her. However, Olsen acknowledges that he was responsible for getting, though Siobhan swears that she’s going to get even with Superwoman the next time she sees her. However, the reunion is cut short when it comes to Lois’ attention that there’s a prison break unfolding at Stryker’s Island.
She’s come to protect the city from its current threat which, at the moment, is Superman, still in the throes of his red kryptonite infection.
At the prison, Clark has been confronted by Marilyn Moonlight, the spirit of Metropolis. She’s come to protect the city from its current threat which, at the moment, is Superman, still in the throes of his red kryptonite infection. Moonlight gives Superman one warning as she points her pistols straight at the Man of Steel. Superman begs Marilyn not to fight him, but Marilyn is prepared to do what she must. However, Superman says he can feel himself regaining control of his system and encourages Marilyn Moonlight to follow him instead of shooting.
Superman was infected by red kryptonite by the Lex Luthor Revenge Squad in Superman #11!
Superman Can’t Get Rid of His Rage, But He Can Use It
With Training, Clark Can Utilize This Fury for Good
Clark was infected by the synthetic red kryptonite quite some time ago and, despite Supercorp’s best efforts, no one was able to purge it from his system. Worse, the challenges Superman has been through in the last several months have only tested the limits of his patience. It doesn’t look like his rage is going anywhere anytime soon. But the good news is that Superman isn’t letting his emotions control him as fans feared. This means that rage could end up being a tool that Superman uses for the sake of good.
If he’s really got this rage on lockdown, Superman could easily use it when he’s facing the most powerful or dangerous villains.
Let’s be real, the prospect of Superman losing himself to rage is terrifying. But Clark has an impressive amount of self-control. If he’s really got this rage on lockdown, Superman could easily use it when he’s facing the most powerful or dangerous villains. It’s going to take a serious amount of training and monitoring, but if anyone could do it, it’s Clark. He knows how important it is to never lose control and if the only solution to his red K problem is making his rage work for him, then that’s exactly what Superman is going to do.
Superman #27 is available from DC Comics on June 25th.
