Superman! He crushed that mighty invasion force! His powers make him a very formidable foe! ...But so am I! I, Amalak, am the greatest, most feared space-pirate of all! Countless treasures I've gained by terrorizing the space-lanes, and the cities of advanced civilizations! With my super-weapons and ultra-modern technology, I've taken what I pleased... For eons! Until recently... Because now the alien races I've plundered have developed their own super-weapons! ...They've driven me... Pursued me... Forced me to hide in this cosmic cloud! My best course is to find a planet to use as a base... A planet without super-weapons to fight me off... One with a large population I can enslave... To repair my weapons and build me new ones! A planet where no one would search for me... A planet like Earth! Yes, Earth is perfect! A small, backward, out-of-the-way world... But... Superman lives there! Minutes ago, I watched him defend a planet which meant nothing to him! Imagine how he'd fight for his home world! ...So he must be eliminated!
