Superman #22/1974

In a chilling twist, Superman finds himself driven to destroy the world—only to stop himself at the last moment, over and over again. Behind the madness lies a sinister plan by Dr. Xadu and Zeda, who are using his power to store energy in a dental implant, aiming to build a device capable of shifting Earth into orbit around a red sun. Jimmy Olsen watches in disbelief as the Man of Steel battles his own mind, caught in a trap that turns his greatest strength into a weapon.

In a hidden valley of Central Mexico, Tlaca, the Sun Maiden, trains in silence, her spirit drawn to the rising sun. Meanwhile, Supergirl begins a new chapter as a student counselor at New Athens’ experimental school, unaware that Tlaca’s journey is about to bring her into a challenge forged in light and legend.

In this fiery second part of "Prinzessin der goldenen Sonne," Tlaca, the Sun Maiden, confronts the Steel One in a clash of elemental forces, hurling blazing fireballs in defiance. As the battle reaches its peak, Supergirl intercepts the onslaught—only to send Tlaca into a trance, leaving the outcome of their struggle hanging in the heat of the moment.
