Superman #16/1983
In "Stirb, Superman… oder die Erde geht unter!", Superman faces off against Robrox, a foe driven by noble intentions. Once created by an alien race to save Earth from a great disaster, Superman now risks unleashing a catastrophe if he uses his heat vision—thanks to a dangerous radiation treatment administered by the Anti-Superman Band. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life with Curt Swan’s iconic art, Dave Hunt’s inks, and Anthony Tollin’s colors, this 1983 classic delivers a tense, morally complex showdown. The cover by Paris Cullins and Dick Giordano captures the stakes perfectly.
In a tense showdown that blurs hero and villain, Superman faces Robrox—a being created by an alien race to save Earth from disaster, now driven by a mission of his own. With Lois Lane, Perry White, and Lana Lang caught in the crossfire, the fate of the planet hangs on a single, dangerous choice: will Superman unleash his heat vision, knowing it could trigger a catastrophe he was meant to prevent?
In a story set against the tense backdrop of international intrigue, Superman finds himself questioning the verdict when Tryon is acquitted—despite the lingering doubts that cloud his judgment. With Lois Lane’s report from the Middle East unfolding in real time, and Tryon seemingly stirring trouble once more, Superman must navigate suspicion and duty as he tries to prevent another crisis from erupting.
