"A Million Dollars a Minute!": Superman learns that Dr. Peter Silverstone has engineered his forced employment by UBC and destroys the mechanism responsible for his fugues. He destroys Blackrock III, which was a construct of ionic particles, and bollixes the revelation of his secret identity wit

Quote1 I'm certain that if I tried to renege, UBC would actually have the gall to take me to court! Imagine what a circus that courtroom would be... And how can I prove what UBC did to me without demonstrating it-- And putting myself under their control again? It's a matter of honor, too! Unwilling or not... I did sign that contract! If I refuse to honor it, I'll be faced with what happens to most people who are acquitted of serious charges! The public only remembers the accusation-- Not the final verdict! The story would be that Superman's word of honor is worthless-- Ignoring the fact that there's more to it than that! But in order to remain effective as a crime-fighter, my reputation has to be spotless! Quote2
