Synopsis:
Superman has been active in Metropolis for only six months, and is feared by the Metropolis Police Department and the United States Military. His actions are monitored by Lex Luthor and Sam Lane. Luthor promises Lane that he can deliver the alien by 8 P.M. Superman shows signs of vigilante behavior, threatening violence against the non-powered criminals that he faces, and ignoring the instructions of law enforcement. In his civilian guise as Clark Kent, the hero works for a rival to The Daily Planet. He has recently became "best friends" with Jimmy Olsen, according to Olsen's comments. After stopping local corrupt businessman Glen Glenmorgan, Superman encounters a runaway train. Both Jimmy and Lois Lane are aboard. In order to stop the train, Superman allows it to crash into him, rendering him unconscious at exactly 8 P.M., which Luthor implies was part of his plan to deliver Superman to the United States Military.
