I didn't like making Clark Kent sound so mysterious over the phone... But this is no time for a clever cover explanation! My coming mission will take me millions of light-years from Earth-- So even if some of my well-intentioned friends stop by to check up on Clark... They'll only find an empty apartment! Besides... Considering whom I'm up against, there's a distinct possibility I may fail! And if I do fail-- Preserving my job or my secret identity will no longer matter! Because failure will mean I won't be coming back... And Earth will never see Superman or Clark Kent again! I'm in for the fight of my super-life... And that's a fact I've vowed to live with-- Or die with!

Synopsis for "Revenge, Superman-Style"

Deciding to take the battle to the Superman Revenge Squad themselves, Superman bids Supergirl take over his duties while he does so. He then subjects himself to a metamorphosis ray that changes him physically into the image of a native of a world in the Tyorbian galaxy, a lizard-man, and leaves him without powers while in that state. Pretending to be Vlatuu, a criminal victim of Superman's, the incognito Man of Steel gains admittance into the Superman Revenge Squad. "Vlatuu" demands and is granted the right to compete for next crack at Superman.
