Story[]
- "I wish I was contacting you under better circumstances, but there's a grave situation in Metropolis. Doomsday is back and worse than ever. My cousin Superman is taking him on, but needs help. The Justice League is off planet dealing with an emergency and all coms are down. While I try to locate them, can you head to Metropolis and back up Superman?" — Supergirl
- "The situation is dire. I've been coordinating with S.T.A.R. Labs to maximize response times. I'll keep tabs on their progress if you can be my eyes on the ground. Go talk to their lead Researcher at ground zero." — Oracle
- "H-hey. So, this is a little awkward, but lately, you villains have been willing to put our differences aside and work with us. I mean look at Lex and what happened on Earth 3! The fact is, we've got a nasty situation and things are getting desperate. Doomsday is back and he's rampaging through Metropolis. Superman's taking him on but he needs help. The Justice League is off planet and all their coms are down. I need to go find them. Could you lend us a hand?" — Supergirl
- "What!? Now, Supergirl thinks we're a charity? That does it. I am done being made a fool of. Lex has gone soft -- he is a total embarrassment. It's time for a change of leadership. I have a plan. Meet the LexCorp Agents on MY payroll in Metropolis, and well show Lex, Goldilocks, and her boy scout cousin what evil really looks like." — Calculator
Doomsday is back and bigger than ever, and that's never good news for Superman. Luckily, this time he has back up in the form of exobyte-enhanced heroes, and based on how strong Doomsday is looking and the looks those exobyte-enhanced villains are giving, he's going to need it.

Trivia[]
- This content launched in multiple consecutive parts on occasion of Superman's 80th anniversary celebration, the first on May 16, 2018. It also coincides with the release of the animated film, The Death of Superman, released in July 2018.
- Though the content has most characteristics of a common episode/event combination of the recent kind, there are a few differences: released in three parts, no gear (until later added), and permanently free for all players. It is also not included in the episode count.
- After the episode restructuring on the release of House of Legends (Episode), despite that The Death of Superman was released between two Tier 5 episodes, it is now considered a Tier 4 episode.
- Death of Superman: Small Treasure Box and Death of Superman: Large Treasure Box require active membership to open, unlike other Treasure Boxes which only require ownership of the episode.
- Unlike most episodes, which usually go from challenge to raid in terms of story progression, The Death of Superman's story goes from the Doomsday (Raid) to The Last Son of Krypton challenge.
