Superman #9/1982

In "Operation Super-Rache," Superman—disguised as the alien Vlatuu of Plyrox—launches a daring undercover mission to expose the Anti-Superman Band, believing they’re behind his latest attack. With Lois Lane, Perry White, and Morgan Edge watching from the sidelines, he infiltrates their territory using a Metamorpho machine, testing the limits of deception and courage.

In "Operation 'Super-Rache' … Teil II," Superman—known here as Vlatuu of Plyrox—finds himself infiltrating the Anti-Superman Band, where he plays the part of a converted foe. Though he claims to have forgotten his past as the Steel Hero, his presence among Dramx-Eins, Jumrox, Nryana, Fwom, and the enigmatic Proto-Superman raises unsettling questions about who’s truly being deceived.

In "Lebenslänglich für Lois Lane," Lois Lane sets out to thank her mysterious neighbor for the thoughtful flowers he’s sent her—only to find herself trapped in a meticulously sealed apartment, painted over with lead paint to hide her from Superman’s search. With her wits and resourcefulness tested, Lois must outsmart a madman who thought he’d vanished from sight, while Inspektor Bill Henderson and Arthur Pulaski close in on the truth.
