Synopsis
Clark leaves a dinner date with Lois to rescue a submarine crew. Next day, he leaves to deal with a man that has stolen Bloodsport's transporter belt. The man pulls a grenade pin. Superman absorbs most of the blast, but must take the man to the hospital. Superman asks Lois to go somewhere to talk and tells her to dress warmly. They talk about marriage to a superhero atop Mt. Fuji. She asks, "Why be a superman?" and he replies, "Because no one else can." They both feel time almost stood still while they talked. Outside is a female Linear Man who repayed Superman by giving him time with Lois.
