“Teräspojan suurin kepponen”

In "Teräspojan suurin kepponen," Brainiac’s latest scheme takes a surprising turn when he kidnaps baby Kal-El, only to find the infant’s powers growing under the yellow sun—powers that quickly outmatch even his advanced intellect. Written by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by Curt Swan with inks by George Klein, this 1963 tale blends classic Superman lore with a chilling twist on Brainiac’s origins, hinting at his planet Bryak and a past marked by tragedy. The cover by Curt Swan and George Klein captures the moment with striking precision.
