Temporal Disturbances[edit | hide]
Upon learning that he would be erased from existence due to the actions of Brainiac, Superman sent Adam Strange back in time to warn his grandfather, Seg-El, of what was happening. He also gave Strange his cape, which would function as an hourglass by showing how much time he had left to restore the timeline.[1] Due to the actions of General Zod during the fight against Brainiac, the sigil on Superman's cape began to change from that of the House of El to that of the House of Zod, signifying his possible erasure from the timeline.[9]
