Clark is still getting a hold of his powers as Superman. He is able to stop a white-haired woman from causing destruction. He saves her life after removing a crystal causing her pain. He is caught off guard when a portal opens nearby and a flamboyant villain chattering about the "Star Guardian" appears, releasing a void which turns an umbrella into a monster. The villain is fought by the very Star Guardian he wants to defeat: a Black magical girl who comes out of the same portal holding her dear friend, another Black girl, in her arms. What happens next will affect him, his friends Lois and Jimmy, and the city of Metropolis itself...
