Superman #3

In "The Man Who Out-Supered Superman," a determined Nelson Swayne sets out to prove he can surpass the Man of Steel—not with strength, but with brilliance—challenging him in five clever contests judged by Metropolis’s most respected citizens. From outwitting a crisis to solving a mystery, Nelson’s sharp mind rises to each task with surprising ingenuity.

In "High Man On a Flagpole," Tom Trent stakes everything on a 51-day sit atop a flagpole to win Jean Dixon’s hand, but when mysterious forces begin sabotaging his effort, Superman steps in to protect the record attempt—before the stunt becomes a dangerous stunt.
