In a delightfully chaotic twist, the mischievous Mr. Mxyztplk enrolls at Carlton University, determined to boost the school’s baseball team with his magic — turning himself into their star player. As the team races toward the championship, Mxyztplk’s antics reach a peak when the rival squad pulls off a shocking move: replacing their players with Superman himself, setting the stage for a showdown like no other.

When Tom Trent sets out to break a world record by sitting on a flagpole for 51 days to win Jean Dixon’s hand, Superman steps in to protect the stunt from mysterious sabotage—just as the press, the public, and Perry White’s deadline begin to take notice. With Lois Lane on the scene and Quent watching from the sidelines, the stakes rise as the man of steel faces a challenge that’s less about strength and more about who’s really pulling the strings.

In "That Old Class of Superboy's!", Superman revisits his high school roots, tracking down his former classmates to see how their lives unfolded. As he reconnects with Lester "Pudge" Smythe, Stanley "Flip" King, Benjamin "Dizzy" Dowling, Peggy "Red" Watson, and even Lois Lane, he finds that the same spirit of heroism he once embodied as Superboy still echoes in their lives—sometimes calling for his help once more.
