Synopsis for "Superman vs. GOG, Part 1: Endtimes"
Superboy, Wonder Girl, and Kid Flash walk down Smallville's main street, with Kid Flash commenting that the town is small and boring. Wonder Girl says it's a cute place, and Flash looks up as something comes crashing into the middle of the town.
At the Daily Planet, Clark Kent argues over the phone with Lois about her not telling him about his demotion. He tells her that the only thing worse than getting demoted and not being told by your wife, would be being replaced by Jack Ryder. Clark turns at that moment to find Ryder standing there. Ryder tells Clark that he understands him being bitter, and it's part of the reason he took the job. Before Clark can say anything to Ryder, he hears Superboy calling him. Running down the hall to the supply closet, Clark tears off his shirt.
Back in Smallville, Gog forces Superboy to the ground, strangling him. Gog asks if Superman is coming, and when Superboy smiles Gog throws Superboy through a truck. Standing over Superboy, Gog raises his spear and prepares to deliver the killing blow; however, Superman slams into Gog and forces him to the ground. Swooping back around Superman hits him in the back. Wonder Girl and Kid Flash zip up to Superboy as Superman is suddenly hurled into a nearby tree. Superman sends Kid Flash and Wonder Girl to take care of the civilians and then tells Superboy to head back to the Kent farm. Superboy tries to argue, but before he can Gog erupts from the ground.
Superman flies in and delivers a series of devastating punches to Gog's head, forcing him back to the ground. Wonder Girl and Kid Flash return, and Superman tells them to get to safety. Pulling himself up, Gog tells Superman that he and all of his progeny will die horribly. Grabbing Gog by the helmet, Superman slams Gog's head into the pavement. As he stands over Gog, the villain suddenly lunges up, plunging his spear into Superman's stomach.
