Synopsis:
Jonathan Kent is struck by lightning while wearing a Superman costume. He becomes delusional and believes that he is Superman. Dr. Greene warns Superboy about Jonathan's condition and encourages him to humor Kent until his mind recovers. Superboy is then forced to make Jonathan appear to have super powers. The doctor lets the town in on the situation, and they begin to watch Jonathan. Eventually Mr. Kent recovers his wits. He then stages a trick to fool Superboy into thinking he actually does possess super powers. Afterwards, he explains that his mind has recovered, and Jonathan puts away the Superman costume.
