The Professor survived.
That should have been the good news.
Instead, the man who steps out of the regeneration is almost unrecognisable. A new face. A new voice. Sharper confidence, easier charm, and an authority that turns heads before he even opens his mouth.
Clark knows immediately that he is still the Professor.
Oswin wishes it were that simple.
As she struggles to reconcile the man she loves with the stranger standing in front of her, Clark faces an identity crisis of his own. A mysterious blonde girl arrives carrying memories of a home Clark has never known, and the secrets surrounding Krypton are beginning to drag him towards a destiny he is not sure he wants.
Meanwhile, Metropolis is changing.
Old projects refuse to stay buried. New alliances are forming. Lex Luthor is slipping further down a road the Professor once believed he could pull him from. And somewhere amongst the reporters, friends and familiar faces surrounding them, someone has been lying for far longer than anybody realises.
The Professor has always believed that a person is defined by their choices, not their face.
Now he has to prove it.
Because enemies can look exactly like the people you trust.
Friends can become strangers overnight.
And sometimes the hardest person to recognise...
is yourself.
