Synopsis for "Revenge, Part 2"

After putting together a Superman Revenge Squad, Cyborg Superman rallies his troops. Eradicator wants to rebuild Krypton, Metallo wants a new and better cybernetic body, Mongul wants a new Warworld, and Blanque... only wants to kill people. But all of them want to pay Superman back for perceived wrongs. Cyborg Superman maintains they need General Zod in order to kill Superman, crack his Fortress open and loot his Kryptonian technology.

Superman has headed back to Metropolis. He has to make sure that his family is safe before going after Blanque, Mongul and the Eradicator.

He finds his wife and son in their new apartment. He tells them about his backup Fortress being destroyed by three of his enemies. He tries to reassure Lois and Jon that he can handle them, at the same time stressing they must stay at the apartment and Jon has to watch over his mother. Then he flies off.

Using the Watchtower's systems, Superman tracks the Eradicator down. He finds Eradicator trying to break in Belle Reve Penitentiary which all of sudden has been surrounded by a strange black dome.[1] Superman is puzzled but decides to head out. Batman offers to help, but Superman is confident that he can solve that problem without help.

As Superman flies back to Earth, Eradicator and Cyborg Superman have managed to break into the Black Vault space, a barrier imbued with energies of the Phantom Zone capable of rendering the strongest mind insane. Eradicator is impervious because of being an artificial being, but Cyborg Superman is vulnerable and suffers horrific visions of his past.

Superman has made it to Belle Reve and plows through the barrier. He gets disoriented and suffers a nightmare: he's standing in front of his parents' graves when they crawl from their graves and blame him for not saving them.

Cyborg Superman and Eradicator try to take advantage of his dizziness to attack him, but Superman fights back and drives them off. Cyborg Superman wants to take advantage of his chance to kill him, but Eradicator senses the Vault is driving him mad, so he grabs Cyborg Superman and gets them both out of the barrier.

As his enemies hasten to find Zod, Superman keeps trapped in the barrier; and the nightmarish visions are getting worse.
