Superman #1
In "The Man Who Out-Supered Superman," Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster deliver a clever, early Superman tale where a jealous man named Nelson Swayne sets out to surpass the Man of Steel in five public challenges—using nothing but his brilliant mind. Wayne Boring’s cover captures the bold ambition of the premise, while the story’s playful premise sets up a unique showdown between human ingenuity and superhuman might.
