Synopsis for "The Exile at the Edge of Eternity"

(This is a prose story with cosmic pictures.) After the passing of Superman, his descendants helped humanity settle the stars over a period of twenty thousand years, though their inherited powers dwindled by mixing with humans or changed completely into the ability to convert into energy. When a accident causes a dimensional vortex that threatens to destroy the entire universe, humanity sacrificed itself, converting itself into energy that was targeted by the psychic powers of Superman's blind descendant A'dam'mkent+477spmn to plug the dimensional hole. A'dam'mkent+477spmn is the sole survivor, crashing onto an uninhabited planet. His sight restored, he eventually is united with his "Eve".
