In "Der Mann mit dem Atomgehirn," Superman faces a new threat in the form of Dr. Albert Michaels, a brilliant but unstable mind whose condition worsens after being denied help by the SKULL organization. Now calling himself Atomgehirn, he turns his rage on the Man of Steel, using his unique abilities to unleash chaos—and a deadly plan to spread Kryptonite across the planet from space. Written by Martin Pasko and brought to life with Curt Swan’s iconic art, Dan Adkins’ inks, and Jerry Serpe’s colors, this 1978 issue delivers a tense, cerebral clash with a chillingly personal vendetta. The cover, by Rich Buckler and Dick Giordano, captures the menace of Atomgehirn in stark, dramatic detail.

In this 1978 tale from Superman #20, Superman faces off against the rampaging Titano, briefly subduing him with a lead coating over his eyes. While the hero battles the beast, Atomgehirn (Dr. Albert Michaels) schemes to launch a second rocket into space, aiming to banish the dangerous green Kryptonite once and for all. Meanwhile, Lana Lang and Lois Lane engage in their usual rivalry, with Lana deliberately steering Lois away from the action—determined to scoop her on the story and perhaps even uncover Clark Kent’s secret identity, all while fantasizing about a future where she becomes Mrs. Superman.
