Action Comics #1057 (2023)

While Superman is having lunch and sharing parenting advice with an ex-con named Glen, he hears Lois calling him to get to the Daily Planet immediately. He flies over and changes into civilian clothes. Lois tells him that the leader of Blue Earth has, on very short notice, offered an exclusive interview to the Planet; and she insists that she will only talk to Clark Kent. Despite staff members warning Lois that Blue Earth are terrorists and want to use the Planet to launder their reputation, Lois agrees. An hour later Blue Earth's leader Norah Stone arrives with her bodyguard Dorian. She is wearing a bracelet with a green jewel that slowly drains Clark's powers. During the interview Clark confronts Norah with Blue Earth's history of violence and hateful rhetoric, but Norah claims that Blue Earth denounces violence and any members who committed crimes against alien were rogue lone wolves. With his powers Clark can easily tell she is lying, but she is able to debate well and frame Blue Earth's mission as the preservation of humanity. As the interview is wrapping up, Norah tells Clark that she is trying to make her world safer and that Earth is her home, which he also detects as a lie. After Norah leaves, Clark tells Lois that he thinks he has seen her before and plans to follow her; although Lois notices that he appears unwell. Clark goes into an elevator and Dorian follows him in. Dorian attacks Clark, revealing that he can fly and has super-strength, while Clark is too weak to fight back as his powers have been drained. Dorian tells Clark that it is his fault his people came to Earth and shapeshifts to resemble him. He tells Superman that he will show Earth what happens when people put their faith in a monster.
