Synopsis for "Who is Strange Visitor? Chapter Three: Where?"
While Professor Hamilton completes the details of a plan with Kitty Faulkner at S.T.A.R. Labs, Billy tries to talk to his fiancee - the costumed hero known as Strange Visitor. Billy tries desperately to get his wife-to-be to remember, explaining all about the things they had done together, in none other than, Smallville. However the news just upsets her. Superman tries to comfort her, but her anger flares and she strikes out at Billy, whom Superman protects, and then sets off after the distressed woman. Hamilton and Billy run back into the lab, and tell Kitty to get ready. Billy and the professor load up in an anti-grav car and give chase.
When Superman catches up with Strange Visitor and tries to stop her, she lashes out with another electromagnetic burst. Superman is left tumbling towards Metropolis, but manages to regain control just before hitting an office block. Superman comes up with a cunning plan. Superman takes a vortex of water from Hob's Bay and dumps it onto Strange Visitor. It has the desired effect and drains her powers, but for a moment. Strange Visitor punches Superman with an energy fist, knocking him into an old satellite in space. Superman decides that she is strong enough to take it, and so, uses the satellite to ram the woman down into a building site. There, Superman wraps her up in some cable and ties her to a steel girder so that she is earthed and her power is expended. Superman quickly rushes her off to S.T.A.R. Labs.
At S.T.A.R., the Parasite is used to drain off Strange Visitor's energy, while S.T.A.R. technicians then drain the energy from him. When the experiment is completed, Billy takes Strange Visitor away to tell her more of her past. Meanwhile, the Parasite emerges from his cell, which he now has Strange Visitor's powers and possibly making him unbeatable.
