After being blasted by an experimental ray, Superman reflects on when he was previously blasted by a similar ray, which also transformed all of the Kryptonite on Earth to iron. After Superman protects a space launch, Clark Kent is assigned to be a TV reporter full-time. In the present, Superman recovers and stops the bad guys who blasted him.
