Storyline

Wealthy businessman Ross Webster discovers the hidden talents of Gus Gorman, a mischievous computer genius. Ross decides to abuse his talents, in a way to help Webster with his plans for economic control. When the man of steel interferes, something must be done about Supes. When Gus' synthetic Kryptonite fails to kill Superman, it turns him in an evil incarnation of his former self. The tar-laced Kryptonite pits man against himself, setting up the Clark vs. Superman battle. Written by Robb <robetded@ix.netcom.com>

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: After Clark Kent strangles Evil Superman, Kent opens his shirt to reveal his costume. His tie was obviously pre-cut on the left side to make opening his shirt easier. See more »
