In fact, I'll give it to you!

So what happened, is that Superman-T sacrificed himself to stop the meteor (which was heading for Metropolis). But Superman-T had also figured out a way to rig it so when he died his powers were sent to Superman-X, making Superman-X whole. AND Superman-T had also just discovered that the two Supermen were both slowly dying as a result of the split. So it's all for the best.

This all happened in. So the Superman we had from 1956 to 1983 was only a half-Superman. And he was the dumb half, since the other now-dead Superman was the one who figured everything out!
