Mr. Zero is an episode of season 5 of Adventures of Superman. It premiered on May 24, 1957.
Synopsis for "Mr. Zero"
An unidentified rocket ship has been seen flying over the desert. The United States Department of Defense wants Superman to investigate. Daily Planet editor Perry White has been contacted by the government, and, in turn, he has ordered Clark Kent, who has been making paper helicopters, to get in touch with the Man of Steel. Meanwhile, cub reporter Jimmy Olsen cannot believe his eyes. A little man in a space suit has just asked him to take him to his leader. That unusual request is just the beginning of one of the quirkiest adventures that Jimmy, Superman and their friends have ever faced. Mr. Zero, an alien banished from Mars, ends up working for a couple of bank robbers. They dupe Mr. Zero into using his power to paralyze people (freezing them in place). Realizing Mr. Zero was fundamentally good, and was duped, Superman and Jimmy and Lois help Mr. Zero catch the bad guys who misused his trust and his powers.
