Superman #18

The Absolute Power Tie-in offers the fun pairing of Superman and Zatanna making a deal with Neron for a magical map that will allow the heroes to travel through the shadows avoiding Amanda Waller and her forces. For some reason the pair end up at the House of Heroes adding another super-hero to their ranks and briefly finding Konfusion (the Earth-3 amalgamation of Superman, Batman, and Green Lantern). We also get a separate thread of Lois and friends searching for her husband which eventually connects to the main story.

Lois & Clark - Witness

Superman Saturday takes us back 90s Metropolis when ABC made you believe big city reporters could break any story, and, when necessary, that one of them could fly. Looking to expose the evil machinations of Barbara Trevino (Claudette Nevins) concerning illegal mining in the Amazon Rainforest, reclusive scientist Dr. Vincent Winninger (Elliott Gould) offers Lois (Teri Hatcher) a once-in-a-lifetime interview only to for her to witness his murder. She identifies the killer, or at least thinks she has, when in fact the real killer is makeup artist Sebastian Finn (played by several actors but credited to William Mesnik) who has a talent for disguising himself as virtually anyone.

Smallville - Kinetic

Superman Saturday takes us back to Smallville, Kansas, and the time Clark Kent (Tom Welling) fought criminals who could walk through walls. In terms of all parts of the episode being tied together and progressing both the individual episode and season-long arcs, “Kinetic” is one of the best designed episodes of the show’s First Season. We start with Kryptonite-tattooed goons (David Lovgren, Kavan Smith, and David Coles) stealing from Lex and injuring Chloe (Allison Mack) in the opening scene. With a damaging disc being included in the theft, Lex isn’t in any hurry to report details of what was taken to the police.

Adventures of Superman - The Monkey Mystery

Superman Saturday takes us back to the 1950s and a strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. “The Monkey Mystery” is an odd episode about the daughter of an Eastern European scientist (Allene Roberts) making her way to the United States to deliver her father’s secret formula to stop atomic power to the President of the United States. Pivotal to the plot is an organ grinder’s monkey, dressed in a small Superman costume, who is used to deliver messages between the baddies in Metropolis but who accidentally puts a pivotal piece of information into the hands of Lois Lane (Phyllis Coates) who then spends most of the episode unconscious and off-screen after being attacked.

Jimmy (Ishmel Sahid), Kara (Kiana Madeira), and a comatose Lois (Alice Lee) return to Earth only to be immediately captured by Amanda Waller (Debra Wilson) ignoring their threats of an imminent attack on Earth. They are quickly followed by Brainiac (Michael Emerson) still in control of Superman‘s (Jack Quaid) body who gives the Earth the choice to kneel or burn. While the trio is freed by their Daily Planet brethren, allowing Kara to attempt to stall Brainiac, the real fight takes place within Clark’s mind as Lois struggles to get him to remember who he is, his home, his family, and those who love him.
