POWER DOWN: Since last issue, Booster Gold and the Time Sphere he improvised in Action Comics #1100 have been moved indoors. Readers of Joshua Williamson's Superman stories will be familiar with the sight of a powerless Booster Gold anchored to a wall at the wrists and ankles. For details, see Summer of Superman Special #1, Superman #27, Superman #29, and Superman #30.

Booster's entire contribution to this story is this panel, in which he commands Supergirl and Superboy, er, "Superkid " to stop Zod's wife, Ursa, from using the Time Sphere to go back in time and save Krypton from destruction, thus destroying all of Superman's history since. (Booster stopped Superman from attempting the same thing in the six-part "Booster Shot" storyline in 2018's Action Comics #993 through #998.)
