"The Anniversary": Lois and Clark explain to their sons why they celebrate their anniversary four days after the actual date of their wedding.

Quote1 Clark, we knew going into this was never going to be easy. But us wanting to make this night work so badly... that's more proof of our love to me than any fancy dinner. So as long we continue trying this hard for each other... than I have no doubt we'll be okay. Quote2
— Lois Lane

Synopsis for "Controlled Burn"

In an alternate universe, the boy who will grow up to be Superman loses his loving adoptive parents in a car crash and is placed in an abusive foster home. A few years later, his super-hearing develops, allowing him to hear the father beating the mother at night. He confronts the man and accidentally kills him with his heat vision, and the horrified woman chases him out of the house. He is quickly arrested and taken to a government facility, but he escapes with his newfound super-strength. He finds the rocket that brought him to Earth locked up in the facility, and it gives him Jor-El's Sunstone.

He flees to the Amazon rainforest, where the Sunstone creates a Fortress of Solitude for him and he meets the hologram of Jor-El, who tells him that he is Kal-El, the last son of Krypton. Kal-El tells his father how humanity has mistreated him, and Jor-El says that he must save them from themselves. Kal-El trains for years to reach the full potential of his powers, and then reveals himself to the world as Superman. For twenty years Superman tries to inspire humanity to be better, but it seems that mankind's basic nature cannot change, as evil still persists.

Eventually, he meets his brother Tal-Rho, who tells him his plan to remake Earth as a new Krypton. As leading by example had failed, Superman joins Tal-Rho's cause and together the Kryptonian army destroy Metropolis in seven minutes, and nuke Coast City. Superman ruthlessly crushes all resistance until only John Henry Irons stands against them. He fights Irons in space but the armoured hero disappears through a dimensional rift. Meanwhile a shadowy figure watches them through a portal.

Notes

  • "The Anniversary" marks the first appearance of many Superman Villains, including Bruno Mannheim, Lobo and Nuclear Man.
    • However, by the time this issue was released, Superman & Lois was still considered part of the main Arrowverse continuity which explains why Bruno Mannheim's appearance completely differs from Chad L. Coleman's.
  • The "Controlled Burn" story tells the origin story of the black-suited Superman from John Henry Irons' world.
    • It also reveals that he survived his fight with Irons during the Crisis which was already implied in the Superman & Lois episode, "Through The Valley Of Death".
  • The first appendix, "Nat's War Journal", which is written by Andrew N. Wong, shows Natalie Lane Irons' prototypes and weapon projects for his father' war against the evil Superman.
  • The second appendix, which is written by Adam Mallinger, features newspapers from the Inverse World and foreshadows most of its mythos.
    • It reveals for the first time that the Inverse World's Earth is cube-shaped like its comic counterparts, Htrae and Earth 29.
    • The Daily Planet version from the Inverse World is revealed to be named as "The Planet Weekly".
    • Jordan and Jonathan Kent's counterpart are referred to for the first time as "Jordan-El" and "Jonathan-El".
    • The Star City riots are mentioned for the first time in the continuity of Superman & Lois.
