Superman: Futures End #1 is a pivotal one-shot released by DC Comics on September 24, 2014. Written by legendary Superman creator Dan Jurgens with artwork by Lee Weeks, this issue served as a high-profile entry in DC’s line-wide Five Years Later event, showcasing a dark, potential future for the Man of Steel.

The Main Mystery & Storyline

The issue picks up five years into the New 52's future, following a devastating war against Darkseid and the forces of Apokolips.

• The Missing Hero: The real Clark Kent completely vanished following the conflict, leaving humanity feeling abandoned and hopeless.
• The Masked Imposter: In Clark's absence, a much darker, aggressive, and armored Superman has been prowling the skies and patrolling Metropolis. He wears a full helmet face-mask, concealing his identity from the public.
• The Big Reveal: Thanks to investigative reporting by Lois Lane, the world learns that this new figure is not Kal-El. The issue preserves the mystery before revealing that Billy Batson (Shazam) has taken up the mantle of Superman to keep the symbol of hope alive, utilizing his magic-imbued godlike strength and physique to replicate Clark's powers.
• Public Backlash: Despite Billy’s noble intentions, the public rejects him once the secret gets out, choosing to view him as an unsuited, glorified cosplayer rather than their true protector.
