Superman #242

In "The Ultimate Battle!", Superman faces a cosmic threat when the Quarrm-Demon invades Earth, summoning a sand creature to do his bidding. With help from Stewpot, Gemmi, Jimmy Olsen, Wonder Woman (as Diana Prince), and I-Ching, the Man of Steel fights to protect the planet—only to be confronted by a shocking twist: a new Sand creature, claiming to be the true Stålman, challenges the original, demanding to be the sole guardian of Earth. As the two Stålmen stand on the brink of a final duel, the Sand creature must choose between power and peace, setting the stage for a battle that will change everything.

Rodney Drake, a man who’s always felt overshadowed by his own frame, finds his world turned upside down when Professor Milton’s experiment with gravity alters the Earth’s pull on his body—suddenly, he’s bearing a weight of a thousand pounds. With newfound strength comes a crisis of identity, especially as he tries to navigate his life and relationships, including his bond with Wilma and his friend Brad Anderson, all while grappling with the consequences of a power he never asked for.
