When they defeated the Persuader, they took away his Legion ring, sending him back to the 31st century. Clark was given a Legion ring before the Legion went back to the future.

When Clark revealed his secret to the world after being blackmailed by Linda Lake, she put a spin on the story and the world turned against him.

Linda intended to use the ring so that she could see future stories and become a world-famous reporter, but Lois Lane stopped her and Clark put on the ring before Lois could tell him that Davis Bloome was actually Doomsday after hearing a message from Chloe Sullivan. After the situation with Linda was resolved, Clark destroyed the ring, believing that time travel was too dangerous to be controlled.

Later, Rokk returned from the future to warn Clark about the threat of Doomsday and that saving Chloe was a mistake in history. After their conversation, he gave Clark another Legion ring in case he changed his mind and decided to send Doomsday to the future, where the Legion was ready to defeat the Kryptonian monster.
