### Original

After Janice Pern was abducted by Brainiac and fought her way through the ship, Oracle teleported Superman into the ship, where he aided her against Brainiac's remaining forces. Once that happened, Superman left the ship, with Janice in tow. Sometime later, Superman engaged Lex Luthor at the Daily Planet, which Brainiac had bottled up. Lex then teleported both himself and Superman to the Hall of Doom, where Janice followed. Superman was found, in a Kryptonite cage, which weakened him, leaving her to engage the criminal mastermind herself. Once he was defeated, she freed Superman and he left to recharge his energy. He returned to the Watchtower, where he thanked Janice personally for her aid and honored her as a full fledged member of the Justice League. He would then send her a suit of advanced Kryptonian battle armor to wield as her new alias: Superwoman.
