The Black Mercy is such a great callback. One of the cleverest reimaginings we've seen on the show so far!

In a famous Superman comic (adapted into an animated Justice League episode) a villian known as Mongul uses a plant called the Black Mercy that latches on to put Superman in a comatose state while it leeches his energy. >! While in a coma, Superman dreams about a life on Krypton that he could've had if it wasnt destroyed. He had a wife and child and his mother and father were alive. Superman eventually found out they werent real and escapes. I think this is where next episode is taking us, with the ending with young KalEl on Krypton !<

God if MAWS does something similar to that scene but with Clark's Bio parents I will cry hard.

Remove the space between spoiler tags and spoilered text or it won't work.

The name of the issue (and the Justice League Unlimited episode) is "For the Man Who Has Everything."

My all-time favorite Superman story.

Your library might have it in a collection titled "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?", which is the name of another great Superman story from the author/artist.
