“Gehirn Krieg”

In "Gehirn Krieg," Superboy faces a relentless assault from Rejis, who seems unstoppable—until he conjures a haunting vision of Superboy’s adoptive parents, claiming they died in the future. Though the Stählerne sees through the illusion and defeats the attacker, the experience leaves a lasting mark: Saturngirl implants a brain block to prevent Superboy from ever traveling to that future again. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Joe Staton, with inks by Dave Hunt and colors by Gene D'Angelo, this 1980 issue features a cover by Dick Giordano, capturing the tension of a battle that reaches deep into the mind.

Der Stählerne durchschaut die Vision und kann den Angreifer besiegen.
