When LexCorp unveils its latest invention, a battle suit designed to make ordinary men into living weapons, Sergeant Corey Mills becomes the first to wear it. At first, he’s a hero in shining armour., but the longer he wears the suit, the more it wears away at him.
Superman: The Animated Series’ Prototype shows us how good men can lose themselves when they mistake power for purpose. With elements of Robocop and the Spider-Man villain Venom, this story shows us a Superman villain who never set out to be evil, and a suit that consumes more than just its pilot.
