<<1. how did supermans powers change...then his costume? >>
After 'The Final Night', he had problems regaining his power even though the sun was back 'on'. He slowly began to dissipate into energy, and was stabilized by a special containment suit. This all available in the 'Superman Transformed' trade. Not bad stuff, but it was never adequately explained just why he became energy.
<< 2. how did he split into two supermen...>>
This happened when the Cyborg tried to destroy S-man by dispersing his energy, but something went wrong and split him into red and blue. I don't remeber the specifics off the top of my head.
<< how did he recombine? 3. how and when did he get back tolook like and act like the old superman we know and love? >>
This all happened at the conclusion of the 'Millenium Giants' story, but it was an extremely flat ending as far as I'm concerned. Red and Blue sort of sacrificed themselves to save earth, and then, mysteriously, he wakes up in a smoking trench, whole again, in 'Superman Forever'. I thought it was pretty lame; suspension of disbelief is one thing, but this resolution was less realistic than someone waving a magic wand. (Keep in mind that Superman stories are always hit-and-miss with me.)
