Superman #286
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA city in flames sets the stage for this 1975 DC thriller, as a desperate Superman declares he's failed to save Metropolis — then urges a heroic statue of himself to take up the fight. The cover, inked by Bob Oksner, delivers a striking dual image: the Man of Steel himself in the foreground alongside the stone monument erected by Metropolis's grateful citizens, with Luthor and the Parasite teased in portrait at the bottom as the villainous duo behind the chaos. "The Parasite's Power Play!" promises a super-charged showdown where even Superman's legend may need to step in when the man himself falls short.

At the Superman Museum, The Parasite intentionally bumps into Lex Luthor in order to steal his voice and command ability. When Superman is knocked down by Luthor's weapons under the control of The Parasite, Luthor transfers Superman's life-force into the Superman statue made from an asteroid that sits outside the museum. The statue knocks The Parasite out of his hovercraft and catches him. When the Parasite tries to drain the powers of the statue, The Parasite's power is drained instead.
