SUPERMAN

	I'm remembering now -- the sun was

	blocked! My father warned me about a

	threat from Krypton in the message...

	BRAINIAC! Is that the creature I was

	fighting?



			ERADICATOR

	No -- Brainiac is far more dangerous than

	that beast.



			SUPERMAN

	Then I've gotta bring him down! Where's

	my suit? I've gotta get back to

	Metropolis...



He leaps, as if to take off, but falls to the ground.



			ERADICATOR

	Your powers are still gone.



Superman rises to his hands and knees, wide-eyed -- he's never

been powerless in his life.



			SUPERMAN

	Will they return?



			ERADICATOR

	Once we get away from the shadowed Earth

	and closer to the sun, you should be back

	online. This ship will be taking us

	offworld in less than an hour.
