The Queen of H.I.V.E.(Holistically Intergrated Viral Equality) has placed
the telepathic Dr. Hector Hammond's thoughts deep into the recesses of
Superman's mind in an effort to control the Man of Steel. The merging of Hammond
and Superman's minds brings about vivid hallucinations that cause Superman to
experience different realities and view longtime allies as potential threats.
With the Man of Steel unable to tell what is real and what is a hallucination,
it is up to Orion of the New Gods and Wonder Woman to release the H.I.V.E.'s
grip on Superman and save the universe from succumbing to power of the H.I.V.E.
Collects Superman #18-24, Action Comics #24, and Superman
Annual #2.
