Story
The notion of mixing super-heroes and religion is one that has always made Superman uncomfortable. So when a new metahuman called Redemption, dispatched to defend missionaries in a foriegn land, annihilates members of that country's military, Clark is determined to look into it. But upon investigating, he doesn't find what he expects. The young man is truly repentant over what he has done, and when he isn't aware that Clark is watching, regrets that his powers were stronger than expected. His strength is dictated by the faith others have in him. Can this young man ever control his strength, if he doesn't ever truly know how strong he is? And how far will Superman go to stop this young man, who does not want to kill.
