| Storyline |
Superman
stopped a shootout and a potential bombing. The
S.W.A.T. was not thrilled. Lois Lane arrived a bit
late and completely missed seeing him. Several other
appearances later, and she'd still not been in time
to witness him in action. With crime rates drastically
dropping, the police began to either fear the possibility
of Superman taking over, or what may take the place
of the "normal" crime that was becoming
nonexistent.
At a gangland meeting, Mannheim Moxie introduced
Kalibak. Moxie's Intergang group held up a hotel,
the guests included Star City cop Maggie Sawyer,
and reporter hopeful Clark Kent, who'd just scored
a job interview with the Daily Planet. Police were
quick to the scene, and Kalibak attacked a team
on the roof. Using the melee as a distraction, Kent
changed clothes and Superman appeared. Mannheim
stuck something to Superman which caused him to
catch fire. Superman fled so not to spread the flames.
A cop on the roof - Dan Turpin - stuck a grenade
in Kalibak's mouth. After the police put out Superman's
fires, a boom tube opened and claimed Mannheim and
Kalibak.
Going on two days with no obvious crimes in Metropolis,
Superman found Lois Lane's care submerged. He rescued
her and delivered her home. He agreed to an interview.
Lane rushed the story to the office, only to learn
that Clark Kent, the new hire, had scooped her.
Superman met with some cops, including Turpin, hoping
to create a good relationship.
