Ep 10. The Main Man: Part 2

Superman: The Animated Series season 1 episode 10, titled "The Main Man: Part 2", picks up where the previous episode left off. Lobo, the intergalactic bounty hunter, has arrived on Earth with orders to capture Superman for a powerful alien race known as the Preservers. In the first part of this two-part episode, Lobo was almost successful, but Superman managed to escape with the help of some unexpected allies - the preservers themselves.

As the second part of this adventure unfolds, Superman and Lobo continue their battle. Lobo is stronger and more skilled than he appeared at first, and he gives Superman a run for his money. With each punch and kick, the two combatants are knocking buildings down and causing destruction all around them.

Meanwhile, the Preservers have come to Earth to observe Superman and decide whether he is worthy of being added to their collection of "perfect specimens." Superman is initially skeptical of the Preservers' intentions, but he quickly realizes that they are genuinely interested in observing him and learning about his abilities.

While Superman and Lobo fight, they unwittingly stumble into the midst of the Preservers' observation zone. The aliens are fascinated by the two combatants and begin to analyze their fighting styles and strengths. However, their observations are cut short when Lobo pulls out a plasma grenade and threatens to destroy them all.

Superman manages to incapacitate Lobo and saves the Preservers from certain destruction. In doing so, he proves himself to be a truly noble and heroic figure, even in the eyes of the cynical bounty hunter.

At the end of the episode, the Preservers acknowledge Superman's bravery and grant him one wish as a reward. Superman's wish is simple: that he be allowed to continue his mission of protecting Earth from harm, without any interference from external forces. The Preservers grant his wish, and Superman is left to contemplate the events of the past few days.
