Superman #6
In "Lois Lane's Super-Dream," Superman’s world shifts when an alien spaceship’s explosion strips him of his powers—only to grant him a tiny, self-made duplicate to handle his duties. Written by Jerry Coleman and illustrated by Wayne Boring with inks by Stan Kaye, this 1958 tale explores the strange new dynamic between the Man of Steel and his miniature counterpart, all while Lois Lane finds herself caught in a dreamlike twist of events. The cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye captures the surreal tone of a story where heroism takes a surprisingly small form.
In "Lois Lane's Super-Dream," Lois Lane wakes up in a hospital after a fall, her mind drifting into a vivid dream where she and Clark Kent gain superpowers as the dynamic duo Power-Girl and Power-Man. In this alternate reality, Lois takes charge as the bold, commanding Power-Girl while Clark struggles with his usual insecurities, even as his strength grows.
In a nostalgic flashback from Superman’s college years, the Man of Steel reflects on a time when his former professor, Thaddeus V. Maxwell, challenged him with a scientific test to prove whether Clark Kent was Superboy. With a mix of skepticism and curiosity, Maxwell subjects Clark to a polygraph, asking if he’s Superboy—only for Clark to answer “No,” not out of deception, but because he now sees himself as something greater.
In "Superman's New Power!", Superman grapples with an unexpected twist when a burst of alien energy from a crashed spaceship leaves him powerless—yet grants him the strange ability to summon a tiny, self-sustaining duplicate of himself, the "Super-Imp." As the miniature hero gains fame and admiration, Superman finds himself overshadowed, his pride wounded by the public's fascination with his tiny counterpart.
