Superman Taschenbuch #42

In "Der Mann, der Schurken schuf!", Superman and Jimmy Olsen are dispatched to the mysterious town of Fairfax, where an unexpected surge of heroes has drawn attention. There, they encounter the enigmatic Chris King and Vicki Grant, whose lives are entwined in a struggle against the sinister Master and his cadre of villains, including the menacing Annulierer, Prisma, Blazerina, Thundera, and Essenz.

When Clark Kent bites into a candy and suddenly suffers excruciating tooth pain, a visit to the dentist takes a terrifying turn—under anesthesia, the so-called dentist reveals himself as Dr. Xadu, a Kryptonian criminal long thought imprisoned with Zeda. Now freed and vengeful, Xadu claims Superman is under his influence, setting off a tense psychological struggle as Lois Lane, Steve Lombard, Jimmy Olsen, and Dr. Hill watch in alarm.

In a chilling twist, Superman finds himself manipulated into threatening to destroy the world—each time stopping just short, unaware he's part of a grand scheme. Dr. Xadu and Zeda orchestrate the deception, using Jimmy Olsen as an unwitting pawn, all to harvest enough of Superman’s power through a dental implant to fuel a device capable of shifting Earth’s orbit around a red sun.
