Synopsis:
Superman locates a distant world that is nearly identical to Krypton. He has super-powers on this world, Xenon, because it is smaller than Krypton. He meets Zoll Orr, a scientist who looks like Jor-El and his son Kell Orr, who resembles him.

Kell Orr visits Earth while Superman deals with an emergency of Xenon. Kell Orr fills in for the Man of Steel and Clark Kent, but nearly gives his secret identity away to Lois Lane. While on Xenon, Superman discovers the world is going to explode like Krypton did.

Superman and Kell Orr team-up to locate remnants of Krypton. The Kryptonite remnants are then sent to the core of Xenon, stopping the chain reaction and saving the world. Superman can never return however because of the deadly Kryptonite radiation.
