Synopsis:
Luthor invents a super-suit that is powered by Superman's energy. He then creates emergencies all over Metropolis, forcing Superman to exert energy and charge the suit. Using the suit Luthor becomes a super-powered criminal. The more Superman acts to stop him, the stronger he becomes. Superman finally uses Kryptonite on himself. The weakness is also transferred to Luthor, who is arrested by police. Once the suit is removed from Luthor, Jimmy Olsen removes the Kryptonite from Superman's presence. The Man of Steel then destroys Luthor's suit.
