Description
When Kryptonians Clash/Where, Oh Where Has Superboy Gone?
"When Kryptonians Clash!": Blymm, one of the Superman Revenge Squad members, secretly subjects Supergirl to a radiation that drains her energy, making her act insanely as if she were undergoing sleep deprivation, while masking the effects by infecting her with Virus X. Superman cures Supergirl's Virus X with a White Kryptonite radiation treatment. But Supergirl's insane behavior leads her to shrink him with the micro-wave ray designed to make them Kandorian-size, until he paralyzes her with the aid of one of his Fortress beasts in captivity. Supergirl is cured of the sleep deprivation, and the culprit, Blymm, appears before them, admits his deed, and begs for protection. Seconds later, he is destroyed by a remote-control device in a medallion he wears. Superman suspects the Superman Revenge Squad is behind the plot. "Where, Oh Where Has Superboy Gone?": While the whole world wonders what city Superboy has gone to, Clark Kent keeps his presence a secret as he saves Perry White from gunmen.
