The events from that issue have nothing to do with the original "Reign of the Supermen!" storyline however.
The title was a literal description of the events that transpired in that issue as dozens of neophyte super-heroes from Lex Luthor's Everyman Project fell from the sky to their deaths after their powers disappeared. 52 Week Thirty-Five featured a story titled "Rain of the Supermen".Both of these characters would go on to star in their own ongoing titles. In addition, "Reign of the Supermen!" introduced two long-standing super-hero characters, John Henry Irons, who would adapt the code-name Steel, and a new Superboy, who was in fact a partial clone of both Superman and Lex Luthor. While this event is only tangentially tied to the Superman mythos, its reverberations had lasting effects which culiminated in the three part Green Lantern story-arc " Emerald Twilight". The storyline is significant for not only resurrecting the DCU's most famous super-hero, but also because it chronicled the destruction of Coast City at the hands of Mongul and the Cyborg Superman.
