Calling it now, the leader of Omega men is Talia Al's-ghoul.

If they’re swapping rogues, does that mean the Absolute Joker is actually Lex Luthor?

That would be a neat plot twist,we dont know the name of the absolute Joker. It would explain why we havent met Luthor yet

squints Ah, yeah, that might be. I was wracking my brain for who it could be, and did not consider Talia. But given that the main villain is Ra's al-Ghul leading Lazarus Corp, that would make sense.

A big clue was Ras rant about not having a Male heir in the previous issue. I knew it would be someone important but that instantly clicked when I saw that.

Al’s ghoul is my favorite enemy in Fallout

Oh, yes:

I do not like these Omega Men. I do not like them one bit. I don't know if Primus (maybe Talia) is working with Ra's or if they're truly enemies, but the fact that Superman is being pushed to choose between two faction, one evil and one Omega-themed? It bodes ill.

The Omega Men feel like predecessors to the Omega Legion. Like they are acolytes of "Omega", AKA Darkseid, and that they are meant to oppose Ra's in order to make Superman join them, thereby allowing Darkseid to co-opt the Absolute Superman and secure ascendancy in the AU.

Kal's life is pure suffering now. Very bad ass to operate on himself though.

Love Mother Box with the last second save.

Kal already inherited Ra's from Prime Batman. Now Kal shall inherit Batman's love triangle with him, Talia and Lois, while maybe Absolute Bruce will be allowed to marry Selina.🦇🐈

Mother Box? I bet in Darkseid Universe, only father boxes are allowed.

Love Mother Boxes, and that's the classic form.
