Superman Presents Wonder Comic Monthly #121

Brad Horton stumbles into a mysterious well after fleeing with stolen money, only to find himself back on the train he’d escaped from—just as he wished. When he returns to the well, a stone reveals a strange rule: wishes cost a nickel. Determined to turn his luck around, he uses a fortune from a wish to buy the land, but his new wealth draws unwanted attention. When officials come asking where it came from, he tries one last wish—only to find the nickel he used was counterfeit, and his escape comes at a steep price.

When Elton Craig discovers mysterious Kryptonian capsules, he takes one and gains extraordinary abilities—enough to subdue Superman, who then takes a pill to lose his powers in turn. With Superman weakened, Elton's criminal spree begins, forcing Clark to reach out to Batman and Robin, who each take a capsule and unlock new powers of their own.

In "How Aquaman Got His Powers!", a young man with a mysterious past confronts the U.S. Navy over a dangerous test, revealing the truth behind his extraordinary abilities. Flashbacks show his mother Atlanna, an outcast from Atlantis, finding refuge with lighthouse keeper Tom Curry, and their son Arthur inheriting Atlantean powers from birth. As Aquaman warns Commander Haskel about the dangers of the test site, he uncovers a secret that ties his origins to the very ocean floor he now protects.
