Superman Superband #14
In "Grüner 'K' aus der Retorte!", Superman faces a desperate mission to prevent an intergalactic war—only to be blocked by the Legion of Super-Heroes, who reveal their thousand-year conflict has forged future weapons vital to Earth's survival. When Legionnaires kidnap Pete Ross' son, the boy confesses he’s known Clark’s secret all along and pleads for help, but Superman must refuse: Jon Ross is destined to lead the very fleet that will one day save the planet. Written by Paul Levitz and brought to life with dynamic art by Dick Dillin, inks by Dick Giordano, and vibrant colors by Jerry Serpe, this 1980 issue features cover art by Dillin and Giordano.
When a scientist develops artificial green Kryptonite and seeks to demonstrate it to Superboy, Clark Kent’s chance encounter with the substance during a train ride sets off a chain of events that puts his powers — and his resolve — to the test. With Lana Lang, Marbles, and Police Chief Douglas Parker caught in the middle, the line between scientific curiosity and danger blurs in this tense, character-driven tale.
When an alien thief steals Superboy’s glasses to forge an unstoppable laser weapon in the future, the young hero finds himself powerless to stop the threat—despite his best efforts. With help from friends like Lana Lang and Kosmoboy, and the looming presence of his Kryptonian heritage, Superboy must unravel a mystery that stretches across time, testing his courage and ingenuity.
In "Krieg ohne Ende!", Superman faces a desperate choice when the ancient Nyrvn race, locked in a thousand-year war, abducts Jon Ross—Pete Ross's son. Though the Legion of Super-Heroes, including Saturngirl, Sonnenboy, Blitzjunge, and Sternschwinge, stand in his way, Superman must weigh the cost of intervention against a future where Jon may one day lead the very fleet that could save Earth. With Steve Lombard and Pete Ross caught in the crossfire, the truth about Clark Kent’s identity surfaces in a moment that could change everything—yet Superman must still refuse, bound by a fate he cannot yet understand.
When Pete Ross succeeds in swapping his mind with Superboy’s—whom he’s brought from the past—his desperate rage over failing to save his son drives him to attack Superman in a steel-clad fury. With Lois, Jimmy, Perry, Lana, Steve, and Krypto watching in horror, Superman must find a way to reach the boy beneath the rage before it’s too late.
When Pete Ross appears to be selling Superboy’s secret identity for a million dollars, the stakes feel dangerously high—especially with Lana Lang and his mother, Mrs. Ross, caught in the middle. But as Superboy and Domino [Terrence Arnold] race to uncover the truth, it becomes clear that Pete’s plan is far more intricate than a simple betrayal.
