World's Finest Comics #87

In "The Reversed Heroes," a mysterious twist flips the tables on DC’s most iconic heroes: when Elton Craig discovers Kryptonian capsules and gains superpowers, he uses Green Kryptonite to subdue Superman—only for the Man of Steel to counter by taking one of the pills, losing his abilities. With his powers gone, Superman turns to Batman and Robin, who also ingest the capsules and gain powers of their own, launching a desperate effort to stop Elton’s escalating crime spree. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Dick Sprang with inks by Ray Burnley, this 1957 classic features a cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye that captures the surreal stakes of a world where heroes become ordinary—and ordinary citizens become extraordinary.
