A city on the eve of it's destruction with the arrival of the unstoppable living weapon of mass destruction called DOOMSDAY!
Superman is gone, however for the first time Conner is invited to the Luthor estate for a family dinner with the most dysfunctional brood on the planet. Lionel, his estranged wife Leticia and their children Lex and Lena, they are a family at war, unified for just this matter. They are all being watched by the Kryyptonite armed, security/bodyguard Mercy Graves. The Luthors spared no expense with the meal and welcoming Conner into the family. However, their agenda was clear. Conner must die to save all thing's Luthor and with their mind-control he has NO CHOICE in the matter. After all, even though he's a Luthor, he's also not one of them, not a part of the 1%. He's a rebellous Bizarro, a soulless, experimental hybrid, to be used and discarded. It's up to Conner to inject the Prof. Hamilton created Parasite virus into Doomsday and provide a distraction at the cost of his life. It's Doomsday versus Conner in vicious fight and the kid has NO CHANCE, but this "Bizarro" has a plan!
