This was the first Action Comics issue written by John Byrne after the Alan Moore Action Comics run that I didn't read. I didn't even know Moore wrote any Superman stories until now so will add it to my reading list for sure.
In this we get special guest from the Teen Titans starting with Cyborg, Donna, and Beast Boy.
Superman appears to have gone apeshit, obviously his mind was transfered with a disabled man full of anger toward the world.
Bad Superman flexing his strength, endangering the people, Cyborg at first on his own attempts to fight the Man of Steel. Superman literally takes his arm off and shows no honor, Cyborg reacts fast enough to get away but really takes a lot of damage from a long fall from a hug building.
Do
nna and Beast Boy get called up and come to the scene as fast as they could. Beast Boy uses his Elephant form to try to crush Supes he fails, then Donna puts up a decent fight but also falls. The last card is Jericho who uses his mind powers to take over Superman's body.
The real Superman in his false body shows up and explains everything, they bring them both to the machine that caused the swap to begin with and all is well.
A cool start but pretty tame compared to later issues. more
