Synopsis:
An alien space capsule lands on Earth containing a comatose costumed man. Lois Lane manages to awaken the man with a kiss. She finds the man known as Hero to be attractive, and he possesses super powers. Hero acts strangely, but he does act heroically. When he confronts Chopper Blade however, Hero attempts to use Lois as a human shield. Superman comes to the rescue and incapacitates Chopper.

Superman then exposes Hero as a Bizarro version of the Flash. Though he has appeared to have human flesh, Hero's skin eventually changes to that of normal Bizarros. His full transformation to Bizarro form was temporarily delayed. Once the change takes full effect, Hero returns to Bizarro World where he will now fit in.
