Superman Superband #16
In "Rückkehr der Superman-Insel," Superman is kidnapped by three invisible people and brought to Frank Hardy, a former college classmate of Clark Kent whose life was altered decades ago by a mysterious psycho-extractor. Now driven by resentment over being overshadowed and forgotten, Hardy plans to use a psychokinetically charged cannon to make the Moon habitable—only for the device to dangerously overload, forcing Superman to intervene. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Curt Swan with inks by Murphy Anderson, this 1981 tale features a cover by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano.
When the Krell rediscover the long-lost Superman Island in space and alter their course to honor its creator, a sudden threat emerges: the criminal syndicate W.A.B.E. launches a rocket through the island’s surface, seeking green kryptonite to weaken Superman. With Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and the others caught in the crossfire, the fate of the island—and its legendary protector—hangs in the balance.
In "Schicksalstag!", Superman faces a mysterious figure named Schicksal who disrupts his attempts to intervene in crises, challenging his belief that he must always save the day. As the line between heroism and destiny blurs, even Lois, Lana, and the rest of the Metropolis crew find themselves caught in a test of faith—where the real power might not be in stopping disaster, but in letting it unfold.
When Mr. Mxyzptlk escapes again from the fifth dimension to prank Superman, he turns a traveling circus into a magical chaos—until a young boy with a tape recorder stumbles upon a way to send him back. With Lois Lane, Clark Kent, and the circus’s unlikely cast caught in the middle, even the mighty Man of Steel might not be enough to untangle this zany spell.
In a chilling twist from Superman Superband #16, Superman is kidnapped by an unseen foe and brought before Frank Hardy, a former college classmate whose resentment has festered for decades. Once a student whose groundbreaking work was buried on page 64 of the campus paper, Hardy now wields a psychokinetically charged weapon with a plan to reshape the Moon—unless Superman can stop the overload before it’s too late.
