In "A Superman of a Different Color!", Superman takes a rare break from saving the world to visit a barber—only to find his usual invulnerability temporarily compromised after a trip to a distant planet left his hair uniquely sensitive. With Clark Kent finally free to try something new, the moment becomes a surprisingly personal and quietly revealing pause in the life of the Man of Steel.
