   Earth was saved from certain destruction once again yesterday by Superman, who thwarted a daring plan by fugitive madman Lex Luthor, who is again behind bars.

The drama unfolded as thousands of Metropolis residents watched from office windows as Superman at first seemed stunned by a Kryptonite ray gun used by Luthor. But Superman summoned his super willpower and used his Heat Vision to melt the raygun, causing it to malfunction and become too hot for Luthor to hold.

The Amazing Man of Steel then swooped into the sky just in time to catch Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane who had fallen from the top of the Bank of Metropolis Tower while attempting to interview Luthor.
