Synopsis:
Clark Kent interviews an atomic scientist who is experimenting with Kryptonite. His machine explodes causing Superman’s forehead to be branded by his own press card. With the name Clark Kent branded on his head, Superman covers his face with bandages to protect his secret identity.

Superman carries on, but people begin to wonder if it is really Superman, since he will not show his face. He searches out a way to remove the Kryptonite scarring, eventually locating a uranium planet which when detonated burns off the Kryptonite and restores his forehead to normal. Superman can now safely expose his face without fear of others learning his secret identity.
