Superman Taschenbuch #66
In "Wer ist der wahre Superman!", Superman thwarts a theft of rare radioactive elements by SKULL agents, only to see a bystander crushed in a collapsing building. Rescued and transformed by SKULL scientists into a second Metallo—armed with a Kryptonite heart—this mysterious figure becomes a deadly new threat. When SKULL abducts Steve Lombard and sets a deadly Kryptonite trap, Superman must confront not just a villain, but a chilling question about identity and what it truly means to be a hero. Written by Martin Pasko, with art by Curt Swan and inks by Tex Blaisdell, this 1985 issue features a cover by Ed Hannigan and Klaus Janson.
In "Wer ist der wahre Superman!", a former wrestler named Moe Ramboe—once known as "Superman" before the real one arrived—challenges the Man of Steel to a showdown to claim the name as his own. With a gangster named Swain pulling strings and a young man named Jake Ramboe caught in the middle, the stakes rise as identity, legacy, and the meaning of heroism collide.
In a tense four-page story from Superman Taschenbuch #66 (1985), Professor Dean Raeburn pressures a desperate student, Denise Howard, for intimacy in exchange for her much-needed scholarship—only for her to reject him and watch him tear up the document in anger. Overwhelmed by fear and hopelessness, Denise makes a heart-wrenching decision that sets the stage for a moment of quiet, devastating consequence.
When Denise Howard slips into unconsciousness, her final call to Geo-Force ignites a fury that threatens to consume them all—especially Professor Dean Raeburn. With Superman racing to intervene, the Outsiders and Gotham’s elite must confront a crisis that tests loyalty, rage, and the cost of justice, all while Sapphire Stagg watches from the shadows.
In "Der Fluch des Kryptonit!", Superman lies weakened by a shard of kryptonite, his mind drifting through haunting memories of past encounters with the green mineral that has long threatened his life. As his strength fades, flashbacks reveal the enduring danger of kryptonite—its chilling legacy woven through his history, from forgotten battles to moments of near-fatal exposure.
In a tense showdown with SKULL agents, Superman narrowly thwarts a theft of rare radioactive elements—only for a sudden collapse to trap an innocent man beneath the rubble. Though presumed dead, he is rescued and rebuilt by SKULL's doctors into a new Metallo, his body fused with a Kryptonian heart. With Steve Lombard kidnapped and a deadly Kryptonite trap set, Superman must face his most twisted adversary yet—this time, one who shares his alien origins, but not his soul.
When Mr. Mxyzptlk takes a playful interest in Jonathan Ross’s excitement for a flight with Superman, he decides to turn Metropolis into a twisted mirror of his own chaotic Mxyzpolis. Using the Kryptonian’s own identity as bait, he lures Superman into a dimension where reality bends to his whims—only to find that even the cleverest pranks can be outsmarted by a boy who knows the real hero.
In a chilling twist on the ocean’s depths, a mutant creature—half dolphin, half human—wields the power to split like a cell, spawning malevolent duplicates of itself. With the planet’s balance at risk, Superman and Aquaman must confront a threat that multiplies with every move, testing their resolve in a battle where every reflection could be a foe.
