Synopsis for "...Faster..."
Wikipedia summary:
- The series begins in issue #1 (of what is touted to be a 12-issue story arc) with the rescue of helionauts by Superman at the edge of the sun's surface. It appears that Lex Luthor orchestrated the near disaster in order to cause havoc with Superman's powers by overwhelming his cells with solar radiation. The massive amount of solar radiation supercharges Superman, giving him at least one new power (extension and manipulation of his own bioelectric aura) and tripling his strength (he becomes a supersaiyan minus blonde hair and green eyes and is easily able to push against 200 quintillion tons of force, with one arm no less). At the same time, this supercharge is causing cell death within his body, which will eventually be fatal. Superman returns to his Clark Kent persona, and obviously shaken by his condition, reveals to reporter Lois Lane his dual identity.
Notes
- All-Star Superman takes place in a reality outside that of mainstream DC continuity. It is also a reality separate from that of All-Star Batman and Robin.
- This issue features an alternate cover illustrated by Neal Adams.
