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.
