Synopsis for "The Champion!"

Lightray and Orion travel to Apokolips to confront Superman, who is now brainwashed into thinking that he is the son of Darkseid. With Darkseid restoring Superman's knowledge of his own powers, the Man of Steel goes to attack Lightray and Orion, mainly focusing on Orion, who reveals to Superman who the real son of Darkseid is. Meanwhile, Amazing Grace tries to seduce Lightray with her power of mesmerizing speech in an attempt to kill him, but fails as he uses his light powers to stun her.

Orion's Mother Box restores Superman's memory as well as his original costume, and he flies into a rage. Darkseid, who was about to punish Grace for her failure, realizes that Superman is no longer under his control. He uses his Omega Beams, and they lie all around the city, chasing Superman. Superman leads them all the way back to Darkseid, and doges, and they hit him. Darkest, injured, begins burning Superman with his Omega Beams. Superman breaks free from them, and attacks Darkseid, pummeling him. He knocks Darkseid across the room, and flies towards him again. Darkseid opens a Boom Tube in front of him, and the Man of Steel flies through it, and goes back to earth.
