‘My Adventures With Superman’ Season 3 Episode 7 Teaser Confirms The Return of a Fan-Favorite Character

Superman fans have had plenty to celebrate this summer as ‘My Adventures with Superman’ continues its long-awaited third season, delivering one twist after another as the animated series dives deeper into some of the character’s most iconic comic book storylines. After a nearly two-year wait between seasons, the show has returned with renewed ambition, weaving in elements from DC’s beloved Reign of the Supermen arc while still keeping its signature blend of romance, comedy, and superhero action intact.

That momentum has only grown as the season has progressed. Season three has introduced Cyborg Superman, Superboy, and Steel into Clark Kent’s ever-expanding world, while also deepening the emotional stakes for Lois, Jimmy, and Kara as they navigate both superhero threats and the messy realities of adult life.

The season debuted to a perfect one hundred percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, a sign that the creative team’s ambitious new direction has resonated with critics right out of the gate.

Now, a new trailer has arrived teasing the season’s upcoming seventh episode, titled ‘Ex-Games,’ and it confirms the return of one of the show’s most chaotic and beloved villains. Mr. Mxyzptlk, the fifth-dimensional trickster who previously dragged Clark, Lois, and Jimmy into a multiverse-hopping chase earlier in the series, is officially back, and this time he is bringing along his soon-to-be-divorced wife.

That family drama angle adds an unexpectedly personal wrinkle to Mxyzptlk’s return, giving the imp’s chaos a more grounded emotional core than his previous appearance. According to early reviews of the episode, the storyline allows Clark, Lois, Jimmy, and Kara to grapple with questions about their own futures, using Mxyzptlk’s marital troubles as an unlikely mirror for the show’s central relationships heading into the season’s back half.

‘Ex-Games’ arrives as part of the show’s ongoing weekly rollout, with new episodes airing on Adult Swim’s Toonami block every Saturday at midnight before streaming the next day on HBO Max. The season kicked off on June 13, and with ten episodes total, this installment lands roughly two thirds of the way through the season, setting the stage for what critics have described as an increasingly emotional and action heavy final stretch.

Mxyzptlk’s return also continues a pattern the show has leaned into since its first season, where the character has repeatedly served as a vehicle for exploring the wider DC multiverse in playful, unpredictable ways. His original appearance saw him physically transform Clark into several different versions of Superman while pulling Lois and Jimmy into an entirely different reality, and his comeback in ‘Ex-Games’ suggests the show is not done mining that multiversal chaos for both comedy and deeper character work.

Showrunner Jake Wyatt has been vocal about the ambitions behind this season, confirming in earlier interviews that the creative team drew directly from the nineteen-nineties Reign of the Supermen comics for much of the season’s structure. That inspiration has already paid off with the introductions of Cyborg Superman and Superboy earlier in the season, and Mxyzptlk’s return suggests the show is not abandoning its taste for stranger, more comedic detours even as the stakes continue to escalate elsewhere.

With the season’s finale still a few weeks away, ‘Ex-Games’ looks poised to be one of the more surprising entries in an already eventful run, blending Mxyzptlk’s trademark unpredictability with genuine emotional stakes for the show’s core cast. Fans eager to see how Clark and company handle both cosmic chaos and their own uncertain futures will not have long to wait.
