Synopsis:
Superman is upstaged by a new hero called Wonder-Man. The new hero proves to be Superman’s equal, but also displays a jealousy of the Man of Steel. Superman falls victim to Kryptonite used by Wonder-Man. Then members of the Superman Revenge Squad emerge and reveal that Wonder-Man is an old Superman robot converted to an android and used against his former master. Wonder-Man returns and helps Superman, having only pretended to be jealous in order to lure the Revenge Squad into the open. Wonder-Man then dies, having been given life for only a few days.
