Superman vs The Elite

This unusual chapter in the Superman saga finds the Man of Steel questioning his relevance when a new, more aggressive, crop of superhero crusaders captures the public's imagination. When catastrophe hits Earth, Superman springs into action as usual, but this time he gets some unexpected help from a new squad of superheroes who call themselves The Elite. Composed of four powerful beings and led by the brash and calculating Manchester Black, this new force brings a raw, wild mentality to the battle against evil, never hesitating to kill their foes -- even on a massive scale -- something Superman would never consider. Despite public support for the bloody methods of The Elite, Superman knows they are in the wrong, creating more harm than good.

Tensions between Superman and The Elite rise until Superman challenges them to a showdown. The residents of Metropolis watch from a safe distance as the superheroes fight on the Moon. It's an even match until Black Manchester telekinetically induces a seizure in Superman. But Superman overcomes it and picks off The Elite one by one. Even after Manchester teleports the gang back to Earth to use innocent civilians as human shields, Superman manages to defeat all of the rogues. Believing he is about to die, Manchester taunts Superman, saying that no one will trust him now that he has killed. But Superman reveals that it only looked like he killed the members of the Elite. They're alive and well -- and on their way to prison. The people of Earth reaffirm Superman and his methods.
