As a reward for helping irrigate their planet, an alien race bestows on Superman the honor of drinking the sacred scarlet nectar, which had not been bestowed for 25 years. Unfortunately, it had undergone a chemical change and become poison. Superman's invulnerability partially saved him, but instead caused a large weight increase.
