Synopsis:
In the late 1800s begins an age of discovery, commerce, and science. In the midst of all this is Clark Kent, who uses his powers publically as "the Superman". Through him, other heroes are created, and Kryptonian science is examined for the betterment of mankind. Clark loves Lois Lane, a reporter, and has a rivalry with Luthor. Not everyone benefits from this "Age of Wonder" however, including the disenfranchised workers of the factories. One such worker creates a large bomb that nearly destroys a building, but kills some innocent bystanders, including Bruce Wayne's parents. Then, Lex and Green Lantern conspire to get rid of Clark, who proves to be too idealistic for them.
