Superman #16/1980
In "Die unwillkommene Kraft," Clark Kent is pulled from danger by a mysterious stranger who vanishes without a word—only to reappear later, asking to meet Superman. This man, Mr. Williams, inherited his superpowers from his father but never wanted to be a hero, until his girlfriend begins manipulating him through hypnosis to commit crimes. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Curt Swan with inks by Frank Chiaramonte and colors by Gene D'Angelo, this 1980 issue features a cover by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano.
When Clark Kent is pulled from a life-threatening situation by a mysterious stranger who vanishes without a word, he’s left with more questions than answers. The man, Tobias Williams, inherited his powers from his father—but he’s no hero, not even close. Now, haunted by a past he wants to forget and bound by a secret he can’t escape, he reaches out to Superman, not for help, but for a chance to make things right. Meanwhile, his girlfriend Sheila—Shirley Dams—wields a dangerous influence over him, one that’s already twisted his gifts into something far from innocent.
