Superboy #17

In "Eine Superkraft zu wenig!", Superboy faces his greatest challenge yet when Lex Luthor escapes prison once more and unleashes a device designed to steal the young hero’s powers—leaving only his X-ray vision intact. Written by Paul Kupperberg and illustrated by Kurt Schaffenberger, with colors by Jerry Serpe, this 1984 issue delivers a tense, clever showdown where even a single power can make all the difference. The cover, by Gil Kane, captures the moment of high-stakes vulnerability with striking clarity.
