The story picks up years later with Seg-El meeting Adam Strange who gives him a key to his father’s Fortress of Solitude. During a raid his mother is captured and held for trial, where Seg-El witnesses the death of his parents by the House of Zod. Now Seg-El must restore his house of El the founders of the Science Guild and save both Krypton and his future grandson from an alien known as Brainiac. The other houses include Zod the protectors of Krypton, Vex the lawmakers of Krypton, and Em which kneeled to the House of Zod.

Adam Strange and Seg-El discover that Brainiac has already sent a scout to Krypton and he is heading towards the planet and takes over the Voice of Rao. Seg is captured by Black Zero who knows about Brainiac as the Voice of Rao is infected by a sentry from Brainiac. 

The leader of Black Zero is Zod who is from the future and Lyta's son. Together with Seg they find a way to stop Brainiac from taking Kandor which destabilizes the planet and leads to Krypton's destruction. Adam Strange discovers he wasn't sent back to stop Brainiac but Zod. They find Doomsday who was created by the El and Zods while the Voice of Rao reveals himself as Brainiac. Now Brainiac begins manipulating the people of Kandor to follow his ways towards immortality.

We also discover Zod and Jor-El are brothers and Superman could be black. Zod releases Seg-El's grandfather Val-El from the Phantom Zone to help stop Brainiac but he knows there is no way to stop him. Zod offers a deal to Brainiac to save Kandor in exchange for knowledge of the future that Val-El possesses. Seg-El sends Brainiac into the Phantom Zone however Brainiac pulls Seg-El as Val-El holds his hand. Seg-El finds Superman's cape is restored so he lets go of Val-El and he is sent into the Phantom Zone. 

However after Brainiac and Seg-El are gone, Zod destroys the Phantom Zone projector and watches the House of El symbol disappear from Superman's cape replaced by the House of Zod. Now Zod declares himself ruler and turns Krypton into a military force as Doomsday breaks free from his containment.
