The primary focus of Superman Confidential was to delve into the formative experiences of the Man of Steel, showcasing his initial encounters, crucial decisions, alliances, confrontations, and the key turning points that contributed to his development as the beloved superhero he is known as today.

Although the series had a relatively short run, its contributions to the Superman mythos continue to resonate with fans and enrich the overall narrative of the Man of Steel.

The story begins in a flashback, showing Superman's rocket reaching the Earth, just as depicted in Man of Steel and Birthright, and as it does, a chunk of strange green rock breaks off.

Superman wonders about his own stamina and mortality, about how he is never sure if anything is going to hurt him and just what attack will kill him ultimately, landing on the android Royal Flush Gang member Ace in the form of a block of ice.

Later, in the Daily Planet building, Perry White meets with Lois Lane, Clark Kent, and Jimmy Olsen and gives them their next assignment: the new casino that gangster Tony Gallo has launched in Metropolis.

Superman re-commits himself to Metropolis by crashing a party Lex Luthor throws for sick children and presents a massive cake.
