Up in the sky, look! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superwoman! Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound!
In the endless reaches of the universe there once existed a planet known as Krypton, a planet that burned like a green star in the distant heavens. There, civilization was far advanced and it brought forth a race of superwomen, whose mental and physical powers were developed to the absolute peak of human perfection. But, there came a day when giant quakes threatened to destroy Krypton forever. One of the planet's leading scientists, sensing the approach of doom, placed his infant daughter in a small rocket ship and sent it hurtling in the direction of the Earth just as Krypton exploded! The rocket ship sped through star studded space, landing safely on Earth with its precious burden, Krypton's sole survivor. A passing motorist found the uninjured child and took it to an orphanage. As the years went by and the child grew to maturity she found herself possessed of amazing physical infant of Krypton is now the woman of steel, Superwoman! To best be in a position to use her amazing powers in a never ending battle for truth and justice, Superwoman has assumed the disguise of Claire Kent, mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper.
Patty White paged Claire Kent. "Kent, I want to see you. Just recieved another threatening note." "OK, Mrs. White." Patty then paged Landon Lane. "Landon, another note from the mad scientist." "Coming in chief." Lois and Clark arrived at Perry's office. "Listen to this warning- she plans to strike, tonight." Patty read the note aloud. "Beware- you fools! My electrothanasia-ray strike tonight at 12. Total destruction will come to thos who laughed at me and failed to heed my warnings. Beware- I strike at midnight!" Patty looked up. "This nut may prove dangerous! Kent, you help Landon follow up on his lead. You may have an angle on this thing." Claire nodded her head. "Yes, chief." "But chief." Landon said. "I'd like the chance to get the story on my own." "I don't know..." "Thanks, chief." Landon took his bag and left. "But, Landon." Claire turned back to Patty. "Chief, don't you think that's a dangerous mission..."
A plane's turbine started to rotate. Landon jumped in with his normal dress and started the plane. Landon started to fly to where the lair was rumored to be. It would be dangerous, but it was a story he absolutely needed to have. The mad scientist was sitting in her chair with her pet bird next to her. They were staring at the clock, waitimg for it to hut midnight, so she could make them all pay. The clock struck midnight. It was time. The crow perched on the mad scientist's shoulder. "The hour has come." The mad scientist got up went over to her ray. The machine was enormous, and it had it's tip pointed right at the city! The mad scientist approached the control panel and turned it on. The electric started to pulse through the machine. It was working! Landon's plane started to approach the lair, and the crow noticed it first. It got it's master's attention towards the plane. The mad scientist opened the door and went downstairs to the landing pad. She would not let some pilot get in the way of her work. Landon got out of the plane, unaware of the mad scientist and her crow on the other side of the door. The door opened. "I'm a reporter for the-" Two hands pulled him inside and the door shut.
The crow locked the door as the mad scientist easily overpowered Landon. The crow followed them upstairs. The mad scientist gagged Landon and tied him to a chair. "So... you want the story? You can write of the biggest destruction the world has ever known." Landon kept giving the mad scientist dirty looks. "Mmm mmph mm mph." "Talk all you want, bithing going through that gag." "Mmmmmmmmppphh!" The crow gave Landon one last look and the mad scientist and the crow left Landon helpless to watch the destruction of his city. He struggled through his bonds, but they wouldn't even budge. The mad scientist continued to turn on her machine. More electricity surged through the machine. It was ready. The ray shot at a bridge, melting it! "How's that for a story Mr. Lane?" The mad scientist laughed. "Mmmmmmmm!" The mad scientist selected her next target. The Daily Planet Building.
News of what happened to the bridge spread all throughout the city. Reporters and employees of the Daily Planet gathered around the radio, listening to their explanation. All but Claire at least. Claire got up. "This looks like a job for Superwoman." She said to herself. She went into an empty stock room and changed into Superwoman. She exited the room and flew out of a nearby window. Meanwhile, the mad scientist turned on her machine. Electricity shot through the machine and the ray shot at the building. The ray hit it at the bottom of the building. Reporters and employees were all trying to escape, but the building started to tip. Luckily, Superwoman flew back and managed to balance the building. Superwoman jumped in front of the ray, and managed to block it with her bare hands! She traced the trail of the beam all the way back to the mad scientist's lair. The mad scientist noticed this. "It's Superwoman!" She cranked up the power of the beam. More electricity surged through the beam and released a more powerful beam. The beam managed to push Superwoman back for a little bit, but she managed to fight back all the way to the mad scientist's lair. "I don't believe it! She isn't human!" The mad scientist tried to do all she could, but nothing would work. Landon watched as the mad scientist's efforts failed. Superwoman managed to contain the blast into the machine, which destroyed it. Superwoman ripped through the wall and jumped over to the captive Landon Lane, who looked away as the machine was being destroyed. Superwoman untied the helpless reporter as the mad scientist fled. Superwoman put Landon on her arm and ran out the way the mad scientist did. Superwoman grbbed her with her other hand and flew away as the building exploded. Superwoman threw the mad scientist into a cell in prison, and dropped Landon off back at the Daily Planet. Who got right away to getting his story: SUPERWOMAN CAPTURED MAD SCIENTIST, SUPERWOMAN OVERPOWERS MAD SCIENTIST AND SAVES CITY FROM NUCLEAR BLAST BY LANDON LANE. Patty congratulates the handsome reporter. "Congratulations, Landon with a great scoop." "Yes, chief, thanks to Superwoman." Claire gives a wink.
