>>96938422While I like this arc, I'm not sure I like Brainiac being the one responsible for Pa Kent's death. I think ASM did this better- Pa Kent dies of a heart attack to emphasize that Superman, in all in his power, still can't save anybody. While in this case, if he was just stronger or luckier, he maybe could've beaten Brainiac in their first two battles or finished the third one quicker, and thus his dad wouldn't have died. I don't think "if only I could lift heavier things and punch harder" should ever be the solution to stopping Pa Kent's final death.
