Madhouse Comics Digest #7
In "Mr. Fix-It of the Space World," Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire—three gemstone-powered villains—leverage their indestructible forms to outmatch the Union of Super Heroes, whose attacks prove futile against their diamond-hard bodies. When Carborundum Man arrives, he doesn’t rely on strength but on a clever psychological tactic to turn the tide, culminating in a surprising proposal to Sapphire. The story, illustrated with bold, dynamic lines by Bill Kresse and presented in a striking cover by Dan DeCarlo, showcases a playful yet clever twist on classic superhero dynamics.

Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire easily defeat the efforts of the "Union of Super Heroes" to stop their crimes because the villains' bodies are made of solid gemstone, and "diamonds are the hardest substance in the world". Carborundum Man defeats the male villains "with psychology", and ends story by proposing to Sapphire.
