Synopsis for Superboy-Prime: "He Primed Me, Part One: Spoiler Alert"
Clark Kent of Earth-Prime is still reading comics in his basement, trying to keep up with everything in the other worlds. He is just starting on Adventure Comics (Volume 2) #4.
Elsewhere, Alex Luthor is resurrected along with the rest of the JLA's morgue as a Black Lantern. Instead of following Firestorm, he gathers a number of Black Lantern Rings and disappears.
In the 31st century of Earth-Prime, Brainiac 5 rails against the government having blocked the Legion's attempts to excavate old San Diego. Pointing to a recently found copy of Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds #4, he notes that they may have been able to save Element Lad and Sun Boy who died during that event. He is interrupted by an alarm going off. The alarm is tied to Superboy-Prime leaving his parent's house in the 21st century.
Having reached the end of the issue of Adventure Comics, Superboy-Prime panics. He forces his parents to drive him to the local comic book store. On the way, Naomi Kent tells him that she is afraid of him. Once at the store, he demands a copy of Adventure Comics (Volume 2) #5. The clerk points out that issue 4 just came out, but point Prime to the store's computer and the Internet where he might find some spoilers. As he starts looking, Luthor appears and kills the other occupants of the store. During their confrontation, he restores Prime's armor and his powers to enhance his rage.
Luthor continues to goad Prime as they fight, attacking his parents and telling him that he is nothing more than a cosmic inside joke. Prime is assaulted with Kryptonite and red solar radiation as the other Luthor gathered with the rings join the attack.
