Superman has to stop a rash of two-bit villains from killing everyday people connected to Clark Kent, but when he stops King Shark from offing Jimmy Olsen, Superman learns that the villains are being directed by a voice in their heads. This revelation is interrupted by news that smoke is pouring out of the Daily Planet building.
