Superman #20/1973
In "Acht Richtige im Lotto," a guilt-ridden scientist accidentally kills the last known moa on Earth, then rescues its egg, bringing it to Metropolis. Exposed to dangerous gases from deep within the planet, the hatchling emerges with powers that rival Superman’s—leading to an unexpected clash between the ancient creature and the Man of Steel. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life with Curt Swan’s iconic art and Frank Giacoia’s inks, this 1973 tale features a cover by Irv Novick and Dick Giordano.
In a quiet moment of unintended consequence, a scientist accidentally kills the last Moa on Earth, then rescues its egg in remorse—only to unleash a creature born from ancient, volatile forces. Now grown in Metropolis, the Moa awakens with powers that rival Superman’s, setting the stage for a clash between guilt, nature, and the might of a hero who never asked to be tested.
