In "The Fantastic Fists and Fury Feet of Jimmy Olsen," a seemingly heroic act leads to an unexpected transformation when Jimmy teams up with a grateful scientist, Dr. Grogan. After saving him from an attack, Jimmy is gifted a high-tech suit—CAKK, computer-controlled atomic combat clothing—turning him into a surprisingly skilled fighter. But as his new powers shine, a deeper mystery unfolds, hinting that the suit’s true purpose may be far more dangerous than it appears.

In "Beginnings," a young woman and her dog face a terrifying giant amoeba, but when they're nearly overwhelmed, the boy recalls a past battle with the same creature—then controlled by the mad scientist Zal-Te. With Superman and Jimmy Olsen absent from Kandor, Van-Ze and his scientist friend Ak-Var step into their secret identities as Nachtschwinge and Flammvogel to confront the threat once more. The story unfolds as a tense, action-driven flashback, revealing how the duo first united to stop the menace—and how their courage shaped their legacy.
