Synopsis for "Wayfarer"
Superman is thrown into a cell with a bunch of other alien prisoners. These fellow cellmates jump onto him to claim his clothes as prices. He wakes up and aggressively breaks free from their grasp. Some guardians interfere to stop the fight and take Superman and another cellmate to be part of Warworld's gladiator games, bringing them to Mongul's throne room.
Meanwhile on Metropolis, Amanda McCoy calls the police and claims she knows the real name of the victim found in Clark Kent's apartment.
Matrix, posing as Clark Kent, runs away from Kansas and visits Metropolis. He is involved in a street fight between Bibbo and some assailants. He runs away from the scene before the police arrive.
