Stålmannen #17/1966

When a radioactive anomaly grants a new villain the power to steal abilities and thoughts, he sets his sights on Stålmannen—uncovering the hero’s secret identity in the process. With Lois Lane and Perry White caught in the crossfire, the race is on to stop a mind-bending threat before it’s too late.

When Stålflickan returns to her old orphanage in Smallville, old memories stir — but so does a hidden threat. A man from her past, one of the children who grew up there, begins to suspect her true identity and plots to exploit it. With her cousin Stålmannen by her side, she must stay one step ahead of a dangerous secret that could unravel everything.

In a poignant twist of deception, Stålmannen is fooled by criminals disguised as his adoptive parents, Cedric Carson and Millicent Carson, who arrive claiming to visit from the past. As he welcomes them into his fortress, trusting their familiar faces, he unknowingly hands them kryptonite to "experiment" with—only to later realize the truth, as the dangerous substance begins to take its toll.

When Jimmy Olsen receives a chameleon serum from Kameleontpojken, he gains the power to transform his head into anything from a termite to a mammoth—or even the face of Stålmannen himself. With the Anti-Stålmannen-ligan hot on his trail, he must use every shape and disguise to stay one step ahead, testing the limits of his new abilities in a high-stakes game of escape.
