When Mr. Mxyzptlk goes missing, his usual mischief takes a detour—arriving late on Earth due to a dimensional hiccup, he immediately starts causing chaos by bringing statues to life. From the Capitol's Rundsaal to the Lincoln Memorial, he awakens Daniel Webster, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln, turning the nation’s monuments into unexpected troublemakers. Superman must once again step in, using his wits and the villain’s own arrogance to restore order—before the imp’s prank spirals beyond control.
