Superman is warned about a lizard-being from the 420th Century, the Quakerer, who has the power to change his own appearance or that of other beings or objects, and who has come back to the 20th Century to find a weapon that will destroy the humans of the future. The Quakerer is disguised as one of Clark’s neighbors, but he does not know who. And Clark Kent and several of his neighbors, one of whom is the Quakerer, are stranded in the past by a strange bus-ride.

This time out, we’ll be getting into DC Comics Presents #32. We’ll start this episode with a “Russell’s Comic Brag” segment.  I will be presenting “an extra long” Spotlight for Superman’s Guest, Wonder Woman. Our “Whatever Happened To..?” segment will delve into the Mark Merlin & Prince Ra-MAN where I will have a Spotlight Extra on the character or characters (I  never did figure that out) as well as the story itself.  And finally, we will take a trip to the Comic Spinner Rack.

Action Comics #355 (1967)

Biochemist Karl Keller has been imprisoned in a forced labor camp after criticizing his country’s leadership. Keller escapes after discovering some Kryptonian chemicals that when ingested give him an explosive punch. The scientist then comes to America where he becomes a boxer called the One Punch Kid. During one match, Superman disguises himself as Keller’s opponent and is surprised when a punch knocks him down.  Later, Keller creates a costumed identity for himself called the Annihilator. He holds a grudge against Superman, since the Man of Steel did not free him from the labor camp. The Annihilator then becomes a super-villain and his punch is able to best Superman. The Man of Steel is forced to retreat in order to develop a strategy against his newest foe.
