Superman #22/1985
In "Clark Kent … gefeuert!", Superman prevents a satellite crash and swiftly files a report as Clark Kent—only to discover the entire event was implanted in his mind by Lex Luthor. Faced with a crisis of credibility, Superman must choose between his public identity and Clark Kent’s truth, leading to a shocking moment when he publicly denies the story and Clark Kent is fired. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life with classic precision by Curt Swan and Al Williamson, this 1985 issue features a gripping moral dilemma, with Klaus Janson’s cover capturing the tension of a man torn between two lives.
In a twist that tests his very identity, Superman must decide whether to stand by the truth of his heroic deeds—or protect the fragile illusion of Clark Kent. When Lex Luthor manipulates events to plant a false memory of a satellite rescue, the resulting fallout forces Clark Kent to deny the story in public, leading to his sudden dismissal from the Daily Planet. As the line between hero and reporter blurs, Superman faces a crisis not of strength, but of belief—can he still be trusted when even he’s unsure what really happened?
In "Ein Superman zu Gast!", Superman pays a visit to Sam Weems and his wife Helen, after rescuing Sam from a perilous situation. What begins as a simple dinner invitation quickly spirals into an awkward weekend as Superman’s well-meaning presence strains the household—especially Sam’s patience. But beneath the growing tension lies a secret: Sam’s anger may be the only thing keeping him alive, as Superman unknowingly exposed him to alien microbes that only rage can counteract.
