Superman Taschenbuch #75
In "Phantastisch - die Helden sind elastisch!", Superman is called to aid alien refugees whose world faces annihilation by a deadly cloud, only to return a changed hero—sent to Earth as a super-powered guardian. But when his well-intentioned actions lead to tragedy, the weight of consequence forces him to leave, questioning what it truly means to protect. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Curt Swan with inks by Dave Hunt and colors by Gene D'Angelo, this 1986 tale captures a rare moment of moral gravity in the Man of Steel’s journey, all framed by Jim Starlin’s striking cover art.
When a villain with stretchable powers emerges, the elastic heroes Plasticman, Gummimann, and Elastoman join forces with Superman to confront the threat, testing their teamwork and limits in a battle where every move can be stretched to the extreme.
When alien visitors on Earth ask Superman [Clark Kent - Kal-El] for help against a deadly cloud threatening their world, they repay him by leaving behind a stand-in: Superman-X. But when his well-intentioned actions lead to tragedy—costing the life of a young boy, Freddy—Superman-X withdraws, leaving Earth behind. As Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White grapple with the aftermath, the arrival of Metallo [Roger Corben] adds new tension, while Lana Lang and the mysterious Kojuaner watch the skies with growing unease.
When three Omega Men pause on a distant planet, they’re stunned to watch Metropolis rise from nothing in mere moments—only to be attacked by a Superman who seems to exist outside their understanding of reality.
