Comments:
This issue is the first appearance of the post-Crisis Cyborg, Wonder Girl, and Jericho. Though their adventures appear to be a direct continuation from their pre-Crisis incarnations, the post-Crisis Titans are considered to be entirely independent from their Earth-1 counterparts.

Legends #1 occurs chronologically after this story, but went on sale earlier making it the first post-Crisis appearance of the Teen Titans including Changeling.

Synopsis:
When Superman begins smashing his way through skyscrapers, Cyborg attempts to stop him. The Man of Steel easily defeat the teen hero, but Cyborg is able to call the other Teen Titans for help. Changeling, Wonder Girl, and Jericho respond to the call and assist Cyborg against Superman. Changeling and Wonder Girl cannot match the Kryptonian's power level, but Jericho is able to subdue Superman by entering his body.

Once Superman has been restrained the Titans learn that the Man of Steel has been the victim of a body swap perpetrated by the cripple David Gundersen. Superman leads the Titans to Gundersen's home where the body swap is reversed. Back in his own body, Superman lectures the crippled inventor for the harm he caused.
