Synopsis
  • To get revenge on Superman, a movie producer gives up his power to dream to Dr. Phoenix. In turn, the Dr. is able to use his "mirage projector," making the producer's dream a reality, by turning "the man of steel" into a being of molten steel.
  • Clark Kent is given a surprise birthday party. During it, he recalls how, in ancient times, Kryptonians stored up destructive energy in their bodies which could only be released by expressing grief. Later, a tribal chief was able to find a serum to absorb that energy, however, on every sixth birthday of a Kryptonian, the serum causes them to release tears of sorrow.
