| ShortSummary = Following Superman and Kara's battle, Waller announces the formation of the [[Human Defense Corps]] (HDC) and places Metropolis under martial law in preparation for an impending alien invasion. Meanwhile, Jimmy and Lois plan to break into S.T.A.R. Labs and steal an experimental spaceship so they can find Superman. To help them, they hire Willis, who agrees over her girlfriend Heat Wave's apparent protests, and recruit Mallah and the Brain, who had returned due to trouble with their multiversal doppelgangers. Complicating matters, Jimmy discovers Lois intends to use her Kryptonite sample on Kara. Moreover, security proves tighter than expected due to Waller and Wilson overseeing Luthor while he upgrades the Metallos with Kryptonite power cores. Quickly discovering their presence, Waller sends Wilson to capture Lois and Jimmy's group. Despite the chaos of evading Task Force X, Mallah and the Brain successfully launch the spaceship while Willis and Heat Wave, who were enacting a separate scheme, fend off the Metallos to ensure the group's escape. As Waller deems Luthor's work successful and allocates more resources for him, Mallah and the Brain use a newly constructed portal device to send them, Lois, and Jimmy into deep space, where they encounter Kara.

The team behind the show wanted to explore the early years of Clark, Lois, and [[Jimmy Olsen]] and their jobs at the ''[[Daily Planet]]'', something that Campbell felt had rarely been touched in previous Superman media. Campbell described the three characters as the heart of the show, adding that their bond and time with each other drives "the series and the character arcs for both season one and two." She also expressed the romance between Lois and Clark as being very important to the team and something that would unfold as the series progressed.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|date=November 4, 2022|title=Exclusive Interview with "My Adventures With Superman" Animated Series Co-Producer Josephine Campbell|url=https://www.supermanhomepage.com/exclusive-interview-with-my-adventures-with-superman-animated-series-co-producer-josephine-campbell/|access-date=June 7, 2023|website=Superman Homepage|language=en-US|archive-date=June 23, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230623112726/https://www.supermanhomepage.com/exclusive-interview-with-my-adventures-with-superman-animated-series-co-producer-josephine-campbell/|url-status=live}}</ref> They also wanted to emphasize on Superman's humanity by exploring his personal relationships.<ref name=":7" />
