Superman #21/1969
In "Supermans heimliche Vergangenheit," Superman notices a curious child playing with diamonds at a party, sparking a mystery that leads him to a surprising encounter with a woman claiming to be Miss Superman—only to discover the boy may have inherited his powers. Written by Leo Dorfman and brought to life with Curt Swan’s iconic art and Jack Abel’s inks, this 1969 tale blends warmth and wonder, with Neal Adams’ dynamic cover capturing the story’s enigmatic tone.
In a quiet moment at a celebration, Superman notices a young boy playing with diamonds, sparking curiosity. When he brings the child home, he's greeted by a woman claiming to be Miss Superman—though the boy’s sudden display of powers suggests something far more unexpected.
When Supergirl shares a playful moment with Krypto, her actions spark a surprising consequence—Superman, bound by duty, sends her to an asteroid as punishment for defying his orders. The bond between the two heroes is tested as the weight of responsibility collides with loyalty and trust.
