Synopsis for "Reunion!"

The Parasite returns to Earth, battles Superman, saps his powers, and traps him in an airtight prison with only four minutes worth of breathable air. But Superman uses the super- hard lenses of his glasses to cut through the side of the prison, breaks out, and hypnotizes the Parasite into restoring his super-powers. When he does so, Superman knocks out the Parasite and imprisons him. Then he goes to keep an important appointment with Supergirl.
