Synopsis for Superman in "The Revolving Door, Part 2"

The leader of the vigilantes berates Superman for taking the side of the protestors protecting an escaped prisoner, while holding the handcuff laced with Green Kryptonite. Still retaining some of his strength, Superman tears out the road under the feet of the vigilantes. He then tells the protestors to get to safety, before floating into the air, and the vigilante leader tells his men to bring him within the range of Kryptonite radiation again.

A vigilante attempts to fire at a protestor to bring Superman back to ground, but he stops the bullet and opens a fire hydrant, directing the water flow at them, before encasing the vigilantes in ice. However they teleport away before he can catch them. While he decides to go to the Fortress of Solitude to examine the weapon they dropped, cops soon bring out the prisoner, who pleads to being innocent. Clark wonders whether all the supposed escapees were near to being released. He then decides to go to the home of Bud Oakwood's mother, Lola.

While talking, Lola tells Clark that sons should never keep a secret from their mother and he understands what she means. As he states that Bud was convicted in a biased trial and she's done all she could, Lola reveals that two weeks ago she had paid a mysterious man claiming to be a legal advocate, in return for hastening Bud's release. A few days later, she found Bud sleeping on her couch, but he was arrested soon after. She also discovered that the supposed advocate was a fake. Clark tells her not blame herself, before going to the Daily Planet to write about prejudice against African-American men. As he interviews people about their opinions, he gets despondent at their bigotry and prejudice.

Examining the gun of the vigilantes at the Fortress of Solitude later, Superman finds it belongs to Intergang. He then heads to Bruno Mannheim's headquarters, and shows Bruno the gun the vigilantes dropped. Bruno insists Intergang is innocent, but Superman states he knows he's lying. As he tries to apprehend him, the assassin who earlier tried to kill Bud, wraps him in chains laced with Red Kryptonite which weakens him. The assassin reveals himself to be the criminal called "Master Jailer", and tells Superman he will kill him once his powers are completely drained.
