Synopsis:
During his journey to Earth, baby Kal-El’s rocket collided with a giant space ship. The ship causes Kal’s rocket to duplicate. The original landed near the Kent farm in Smallville, but the duplicate landed near the home of two criminals, "Wolf" and Bonnie Derek. "Wolf" takes in the duplicate baby as his own son and trains him to be a criminal.

When the Super-Brat grew up, "Wolf" had him keep his existance a secret. The Super-Bully secretly watched Superboy and caused trouble. He also discovered his immunity to Kryptonite. Super-Bully was still identical to the Boy of Steel in every other way. Only Krypto could tell he was a fake with his super-scent.

When Super-Bully grew older still, "Wolf" decided it was time for action. "Wolf" is elected the head of the crime syndicate and sends Super-Menace to kill Superman. The two have equal strength, but Super-Menace uses Kryptonite against his hated foe. However, killing Superman brings him no joy, so he saves the Man of Steel’s life. Then he confronts his parents and finds they have always regarded him as a freak. When he discovers that he is not even human, but a force manifestation, he abandons his human form, taking "Wolf" and Bonnie with him.
