Synopsis:
Superman returns to Earth after spending time on a replica world built in Krypton's image. He quickly discovers that all crime has ceased while he was away. Every criminal on Earth has reformed. He also discovers that there have been no natural disasters. Even his old foes Mr. Mxyzptlk and Jax-Ur appear to have reformed.
Feeling useless and wanting some action Superman returns to his Fortress. He orders three of his robots to attack him. After doing so, they destroy themselves. Superman is then confronted by an alien crystal creature who identifies itself as a Sentinel. The Sentinel takes credit for making Earth a utopia and convinces Superman to go into exile on a world with a red sun.
