Synopsis for Superman: "The Warworld Saga, Part 7"
In the Fortress of Solitude, the comatose Thao-La starts seizing. Kelex suggests that, as she absorbed huge amounts of Genesis energy from the Orphan Box, she may be in withdrawl from it and they may be able to stop the seizures by exposing her to limited amounts of Genesis energy. Although Clark did not tell his family where he hid the Genesis Fragment before he left, Lois believes she knows where it is.
On Warworld, Superman and Midnighter lead the slaves in a revolution against Mongul. Teacher arrives with OMAC in tow, and although he has become more dangerous by harnessing Manchester Black's psychic powers, Kryl-Ux tells Superman that if they can get his Orphan Box the slaves will have a fighting chance. Although his powers are already fading, Superman is able to overpower OMAC and damage their armor, but forgives them as he realises that Mongul promised to give Lia back to them if they joined him.
Mongul arrives and personally fights Superman while the slaves battle with the Warzoons. Superman tells Mongul that the slaves are better than either of them, as they have the strength to fight for their freedom without superpowers. He breaks away from Mongul and grabs Teacher's Orphan Box, disappearing in a swirl of energy,
Meanwhile on Earth, Lois goes to John Henry Irons' laboratory and tells him she knows he has Genesis. John has been experimenting with Genesis since Superman left and has determined that all the pieces of Genesis appear to be linked, as each reacts to anything he does to any other. He has also found Genesis sometimes pre-emptively responding before he has even done anything, and suspects the energy may be sentient. Suddenly, a burst of energy erupts from the main fragment, and they hear Clark's voice coming from it.
