Synopsis
A peace rally for young people turns deadly when a street gang member kills the show's main singer. In response -- and due to Superman's absence-- Lex Luthor creates the Supermen of America, a young team of super and non-super humans to deal with some of Metropolis' social ills, including gang violence.
