In [[Moscow]], Morosov meets up with Captain Maxim Nikolaev, a dedicated and well-regarded Soviet soldier. He reveals to the young captain that the Soviet Union came into possession of [[kryptonite]] in the early 1950s shortly after Krypton's destruction and have recently acquired an enhanced armor to harness its power. Believing that defeating Superman will demonstrate their might to the world, Morosov offers Nikolaev the chance to become the ultimate Soviet soldier that they will call "[[Metallo]]".

Superman flies Lois to the Fortress of Solitude for an interview and for the chance for her to meet his parents, still miniaturized in the city of Kandor. As Lois talks with Jor-El and Lara, Clark prepares to reveal his secret identity to her [[Superman II|once more]]. Before he can do so, he hears an American spy plane getting attacked in the skies above the [[Bering Sea]] and leaves to rescue the pilot, [[Hal Jordan|codenamed Highball]]. After helping Highball to safety, Superman is attacked by Metallo, who uses his kryptonite armor to sap his strength and brutally beat him down before leaving him to die in the sea.

Declaring himself the new Superman, Nikolaev exposes the hero to his kryptonite chest and leaves him to die in the sea.



In Moscow, Morosov reprimands Metallo for attacking Superman and revealing their power to the American military too soon. Highball saves Superman from drowning before the two are picked up by Lois' father, the U.S. Navy's General [[Sam Lane (comics)|Sam Lane]]. Learning of the threat the Soviets pose with Metallo, Lane encourages Superman to stay out of the conflict as the Man of Steel returns to the Fortress to bring Lois back to Metropolis. Perry assigns Lois to cover Metallo's attack on the spy plane after she claims she has Superman as a source, but secretly contacts her father before publishing the story. Lex reads the story the next day and decides to investigate further.

Metallo attacks [[Washington, D.C.]] to challenge Superman to a rematch for the world to see. With help from the military, Superman is able to hold his own, but still struggles against Metallo's kryptonite. Suddenly, he is contacted by Lex via radio frequency. Lex reveals that he created Metallo's armor and guides Superman to activate an emergency fail-safe to shut down the power. With thirty seconds before the armor powers down completely, Metallo quickly flees the scene.

Superman, Lois, and General Lane meet Lex in the California Desert, where he confirms he was the one who sold the armor to Colonel Evers that night on the docks, not knowing Evers was secretly Morosov. He also reveals the armor doesn't have any weaknesses besides the fail-safe (which the Soviets have removed after Metallo's last fight with Superman). Despite the risks, Superman decides to confront Metallo in Moscow to avoid endangering more innocent lives.
