Origin
Kal-El was always one of the last members of his race, something he hoped he wouldn't share with his compatriots. When Steppenwolf erected boom towers across the world in order to invade it with his Parademons he established one in Metropolis.

In one of their battles, Terrence Sloan used opal kryptonite on Superman causing him to become insane. Terry used this in order to distract Superman from his plans. As Superman attacked Wonder Woman, Terry continued and succeeded with his plans of destroying several places under Darkseid's Anti-Life Equation, despite Batman's intervention. The opal kryptonite self destructed as programmed by Terry. During their final day, Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman attacked this tower in an effort to destroy them all in a chain reaction. Superman provided the distraction but was completely overwhelmed and unfocused by the horde of demons attacking his dead city. Before he could save Diana, his physiology was exploited and he appeared to have died from an enormous burst of solar energy.

The Hunger Dogs
Superman somehow survived however and was captured by Darkseid's forces and was brainwashed at some point during the five years after the war. At some point Kal-El took the alias Brutaal and began working with the Hunger Dogs under Steppenwolf.

As Brutaal, Kal fought the new Wonders and defeated them alongside the other Hunger Dogs. He would then spare the heroes for an unknown reason and would go to Steppenwolf's aid during the World Army's invasion of Dherain. The new Wonders would eventually returned after being healed by Doctor Fate and would help evacuate the remaining World Army Soldiers. Kal would soon aid Steppenwolf in his fight with Green Lantern and ended up defeating him. Kal would then kill Steppenwolf, as the later was declaring himself the master of Earth. Kal would then remove his costume and reveal that he is Superman and that he was loyal to Darkseid.
