Superman is divided into two beings during an experimental Q-bomb test. One Superman does not possess X-ray vision, while the other is missing telescopic vision. Together the two Supermen take turns as Superman and Clark, appearing in the same place at the same time for Lois Lane.

Later, Superman-T turns criminal and steals a gold plated statue. Superman-X confronts him, but is forced away to deal with an emergency. Alone, Superman-T constructs a lead shield from the inside of the statue.

Superman-T then flies into space to divert a huge Kryptonite meteor. The collision sends the meteor away, but kills Superman-T. Superman-X regains his telescopic vision and mourns the loss of his other self.
