Synopsis:

Superman encounters a powerful villain called Amok, who has a grudge against him following a very brief encounter many years ago. Amok has been given great power by beings called the Futuresmiths, power which eventually causes his cellular structure to dissipate. Meanwhile, Perry White seems to be coming close to the truth about Clark Kent, and a girl called Cir-El, or Supergirl, is greeted by the Futuresmiths.
