Synopsis for "Superman: Arkham (Part III of IV) - No Axioms"
Superman is being hosed down after his recent encounter with Jimmy Olsen playing the part of a gigantic Turtle Boy. Dr. Skizm examines Superman for any psychic weakness or damage. Deeming him maladjusted to his world for not wanting to escape, i.e. not a backwards person, Skizm puts Superman in an adjustment room. They are now about the S.S. Arkham, a mobile detainment facility. Here he meets John Henry Irons, someone who thinks just like a "normal", non-Bizarro person. Figuring this conclusive evidence for their sanity, they attempt an escape.
Superman remembers that John Henry had a suit of iron somehow, and he breaks them out to find it. The prison staff calls in Bounty to find them. However, Bounty is quickly incapacitated in which Superman thoroughly disable his metal horse's leg with heat vision, which he (Superman) doesn't recall having.
John Henry manages to get his suit on. Bizarro arrives, pummeling Superman. Bizarro moves about to take on Irons, but Superman uses backwards logic to confuse Bizarro, and John bashes him into a building, knocking it down.
walks along lamenting that all five dimensions have gone haywire. He's about to get hit by a train for the third time in so many issues, when it suddenly is stopped by the falling building. He takes this as a sign that things are righting themselves.
Meanwhile, a powerless Mister Mxyzptlk walks along lamenting that all five dimensions have gone haywire. He's about to get hit by a train (for the third time), when it is suddenly stopped by the falling building. He takes this as a sign that things are righting themselves. He sees Superman and John Henry and tells the former that the secret to unraveling this mess lies in the JLA command center. This just before he's crushed by a giant ten thousand ton weight.
Lois chases John and Superman around and captures them both in a giant purple and green pod machine. She then blasts them into the S.S. Arkham, hoping to somehow come out on top if the world is destroying itself.
