Superman then looks at the trophy, realizing that its Superman figure is holding a Phantom Zone Projector, and so goes to get the Phantom Zone projector to use it on Mxyzptlk. Mxyzptlk also starts to change from his harmless impish self to a hideous dark creature intent on overpowering Superman enough to kill him. He appears unto Superman, revealing that he has grown tired of becoming a mere nuisance and is now deciding to become fully evil.

It is at this point that Superman begins to consider that somebody must be behind all the villains turning against him, and so calls out Mxyzptlk's name.

Outside the fortress, Superman sees that Brainiac's head is losing control of Luthor's body as it succumbs to rigor mortis and detaches himself from it, vainly trying to crawl its way toward Superman before it goes completely dead. This makes Superman angry enough to attack them with his heat vision, causing them to retreat and return back to the future. Superman carries Lois Lane and the trophy with him when he sees the Legion of Super-Villains inside his Fortress, gloating about the deaths of Lana and Jimmy. With the Fortress breached, Kryptonite Man enters, seeking to kill Superman, but Krypto attacks and gives his life to kill the radiating villain. Jimmy comes to avenge her death, but Brainiac resumes control of Luthor's body long enough to kill Jimmy and to launch a missile that rips a gaping hole into the Fortress. Luthor has Lana kill him so that Brainiac would no longer have any control of him, but the Legion of Super-Villains quickly destroy Lana afterward.

Seeing that Superman needs help, Jimmy Olsen and Lana Lang equip themselves with the powers they had when they adopted superhero identities, transforming themselves into Elastic Lad and Super-Lana as they take on the group of villains outside the Fortress. Also, the Kryptonite Man's deadly radiation keeps Superman and his dog Krypto at bay from attacking them. To that end, Brainiac/Luthor erects a force field that prevents any other superheroes from the outside to help Superman. In 1987, Superman melts down the giant key that opens up the Fortress of Solitude, Brainiac/ Luthor shows up somewhere near the Fortress when they are joined by the Legion of Super-Villains, offering their help to defeat and destroy Superman.
