Synopsis:

Superman tracks Lex Luthor down to his secret lair, assuming that he is behind the recent attacks on his friends and family. Lex, although he admits he does know the secret, tells Superman that he is not the one responsible - in fact, he is very distrusting of the way the secret was 'given' to him in the first place. The Elite attack, and it becomes clear that Manchester Black is behind this - having even recruited Cyborg, who has been given the Elite's ship as a body/weapon. The Elite cowering, one of their number having been killed by Black, and Cyborg subdued, Superman heads out to find that man who really is responsible.
