Written by Jerry Coleman and illustrated by Wayne Boring with inks by Stan Kaye, this 1958 tale explores the growing tension between the Man of Steel and his miniature counterpart, whose popularity begins to eclipse his own. The story's emotional core is captured in Curt Swan’s iconic cover, where Lois Lane watches in concern as the small figure stands in the shadow of her hero.

When Superman is exposed to the "strange power" from the explosion of an alien space ship, he loses his powers but gains the ability to create a miniature version of himself to carry out his super-duties. Eventually the "super-imp" becomes more popular than Superman, who begins to harbor resentment and sends the midget duplicate on a potentially fatal mission involving kryptonite. Destroyed by the kryptonite, the midget seems to sacrifice itself so that Supes can return to normal.
