Synopsis for "Kryptonite (Part I of VI)"

Directly following the explosion of the planet Krypton, a seemingly sentient piece of Kryptonite travels through space. Though inexorably bound to Krypton's last son – Kal-El, it nevertheless finds a home on a far-off alien world.

Years later on the planet Earth, Superman defends Metropolis from a new villainous threat – the Royal Flush Gang. After quickly dispatching the villains, Superman races off for a late night dinner with Lois Lane at the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Later at the Daily Planet, Perry White informs Lois Lane, Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen of the arrival of Anthony Gallo. Gallo is an hotelier from Nevada, who has only recently established the Utopia Casino in the heart of New Troy. White suspects him of being an unscrupulous opportunist and assigns his most solid, incorruptible reporters to investigate him.

Clark and Jimmy set up a stakeout across the street from the Utopia, while Lois Lane arranges for a personal meeting with Gallo.
