In "Drastische Massnahmen," Superman faces a chilling threat at Project Cadmus when Misa confronts Floyd Barstow, triggering a dangerous transformation after contact with blood. As Barstow becomes Anomaly, Superman must find a way to stop him—not through force, but by pushing Barstow to transform into pure energy. Written by Karl Kesel, Jerry Ordway, and Frank Neubauer, with art by Ron Lim and inks by Klaus Janson, this 1998 issue delivers a tense, character-driven showdown. The cover by Tom Grummett and Brett Breeding captures the moment's intensity.
