Early in his career, Superman scares a confession out of a corrupt developer and saves slum dwellers from a wrecking ball, as General Lane and Lex Luthor watch. Later, Luthor puts General Lane's daughter and her co-worker Jimmy Olsen in jeopardy when he creates an emergency on an elevated train that requires Superman's intervention to keep it from running straight into the Daily Planet building.

Indexer Notes

Clark calls in his Glenmorgan story to a "Mr. Taylor," presumably George Taylor. Clark's landlady tells him a trio of friends came by, possibly the Legion of Super-Heroes founders.

The mystery woman from Flashpoint #5 appears on page 26.
