“The Man Who Out-Supered Superman!”

In "The Man Who Out-Supered Superman!", a determined Nelson Swayne sets out to surpass the Man of Steel in five public challenges, driven by his desire to win the admiration of his love interest—only to discover that brilliance, not superpowers, might be the true measure of greatness.
