Synopsis
Clark tries leaping a building, but trips at the top and lands hard. Later at the apartment, Lois finds him with his hand on a red-hot burner, unharmed, and realizes his powers are returning. She gets his costume and tells him to "Go get 'em". Intergang sends The Puzzler to the Daily Planet to kill Clark, but Superman crashes in and defeats her. Toyman and Luthor hear the news that Superman has returned and Luthor steps up his artifact retrieval. Jimmy is covering the story of Superman's powers returning, when Bloodsport shoots at Jimmy. But Superman manages to outrace the bullet and catch it.
