Synopsis for "Stop the Press"

Day 1
In his ongoing effort to build a new planetary coalition under his Freedom of Power Treaty, Black Adam gathers an international group of superbeings. The fete is interupted, however, when Adrianna Tomaz briefly escapes her captors and spits in Black Adam's face.

Day 2
Perry White tears a strip off Clark Kent for not getting the scoop on Supernova before the Daily Star did. He's so incensed, in fact, that Perry hands Clark a notice of termination. Clark, shocked, pleads his case, but when that doesn't work, he jumps out the window... and Supernova is there to catch him. Clark asks for an interview.

Adrianna Tomaz is thrown back in her room. Black Adam tells her that she is not a prisoner and is free to leave. She starts to do so, but first turns around and tells Adam the he will fail in changing the world. Adrianna attempts to convince Adam of the dangerous course that he seems set upon. Even when Adam tries to be dismissive of her, she stands her ground.

Day 3
Lois tears a strip off Clark for what he did to get an interview. Clark finds this rather amusing, since she had done the same thing to get an interview from him. He tells her what happened when he attempted to interview Supernova -- he didn't get many answers, but was first on the scene when Supernova stopped the attempted theft of an army vehicle. Clark still has no idea who Supernova is.

Day 4
And neither does Booster, who is still mad at Skeets for having no information on Supernova. Skeets points out to Booster that the present has altered the future, making it so he has no record of Supernova. Booster launches his own investigation.

Day 6
Will Magnus pays T.O. Morrow another visit at the superprison known as Haven. Magnus tells Morrow thim that he was recently granted access to Dr. Sivana's lab... and shows Morrow an empty coccon that he found there.
