DC Rebirth's Action Comics got off on a really good start, throwing a lot of stuff at the reader in one issue without it feeling overwhelming. One of the things we learn off the bat is that in the wake of the New 52's Superman dying in a previous event comic, Lex Luthor has built himself a Superman-esque suit and taken up the mantle in his place.

Obviously when our new Superman shows up, he is none too happy about his sworn enemy infringing on his copyright like that, so he heads over to confront him... and then Doomsday suddenly shows up to interrupt things out of nowhere.

Superman and Lex, deciding that one of the most powerful DC villains just popping up in downtown Metropolis takes precedence over their squabbling, team up to take the monster down.

Of course, Lex doesn't last that long compared to Superman, but luckily his suit still works enough so that he can evacuate civilians from the epic battle taking place.
