Synopsis:
Starman substitutes for Superman to reassure the people of Metropolis that their hero is still protecting them. Luthor is angry about the situation until Mxyzptlk informs him of Starman's impersonation. When a prison break led by Killgrave takes place on Stryker's Island, Starman arrives to stop it. He falls into a trap set by the convict and is knocked out. The real Superman dons a suit of armor created by Professor Hamilton. With the help of Guardian and Gangbuster, Superman enters the prison and goes after Killgrave. His armor is destroyed, but it protects him from the villain's weapon. Killgrave escapes in a rocket, whiile the heroes regroup with the now recovered Starman.
