Synopsis

In an alternative world, Superman has not been raised as a child in the United States, but instead in La Matanza, a working-class urban area near Buenos Aires, where he and the other members of the Justice League have grown up to become antiheroes. Superman becomes known as "Nafta Super", and together with his friends they form the Nafta Super Gang, who rob banks and help the poor people in the city of La Matanza -a partido located in the urban agglomeration of Greater Buenos Aires - by giving them the stolen money.
Nafta Super and his gang are enemies with another gang lead by a bald gangster, and also fight corrupt elements of the Bonaerense police which are seeking to stop their "Robin Hood" ways. One night, Nafta Super is badly hurt by a piece of kryptonite and is taken by his gang to a Hospital, where his life is saved by a terrified doctor. Shortly after, the Bonaerense police appears looking for Super's capture -or even better, his death-, aided by Corona, a scheming negotiator, and Turtle Head, a powerful member of GEOF Special Operations.
