Superman is dying and from quarantine he arranges for Supergirl, The Legion of Super Heroes and Lori Lemaris to carry out heroic deeds he can no longer perform. As he leaves a message for the whole world (engraved on the moon via his heat vision) hope of a cure appears. Who is the carrier of this hope, and has Superman just revealed his true identity to the world, by etching it on the moon?
