An orphan from the lost planet Krypton, the Superman we know enjoyed a peaceful upbringing in rural America, raised in a good home by caring parents. Driven by his love for his adopted parents and bound by a noble moral code, Kal-El serves as Earth's greatest champion and protector - Superman. But imagine a universe where the Kryptonian rocket containing the infant Kal-El had crashed on a less halycon world, one at the very heart of darkness - hellish Apokalips. There, the Last Son of Krypton is reared without kindness, under the cruel guantlet of the demon known as Darkseid, and stands poised to conquer Earth in the dark lord's name.
