Metropolis, the greatest city in the world. At th
Metropolis, the greatest city in the world. At the skyscraper home of its largest newspaper, the Daily Planet, photographer Jimmy Olsen is shooting photos of a typically kinetic day in the life of the Planet, including sexy star reporter Lois Lane. Lois and Jimmy are introduced by the paper’s grumpy editor, Perry White, to its newest member, a tall shy bespectacled news writer named Clark Kent. Lois is initially puzzled by the man’s shyness and mild social clumsiness, and is particularly struck when the two of them are held up in a back alley by a gunman, Clark faints when the thug opens fire on Lois (the fainting is cover so Clark can catch the bullet in his bare hand, which causes the gunman to run), and in defending himself to Lois rattles off a listing of all the items in her purse.
As Lois and Clark hail a taxi, walking past them is a white-dressed heavyset man munching on snacks and carrying a copy of the Planet. The man is tailed by Harry and Armis, two undercover cops, for he is Otis, a clumsy henchman for criminal genius Lex Luthor, and he is on his way to Luthor’s secret hideout. The cops tail him to Metropolis Grand Central Station, where Harry sends Armis to get backup while he tails Otis onto subway Track 22 leading out of the station. Otis eventually finds an indentation in the underground tunnel and waits for a train to arrive. A doorway opens under the cover of the passing train, and after it is gone Harry goes to the doorway to try and figure out how to open it – a fatal mistake for monitoring the scene from hidden security cameras is Luthor himself, who activates the doorway and violently slides Harry into the path of another train.
Luthor’s sexy mistress, Eve Teschmacher, asks Lex why so many people need to die, but Luthor arrogantly and condescendingly reminds her that it is an inevitable by-product of his status as the greatest criminal mind of the latter 20th century, a status to which he takes egotistical delight. When Otis arrives in their underground lair he is reminded of his clumsiness in allowing himself to be followed again, and is thus given the less-than-glamorous task of feeding “the babies,” a gaggle of monstrous creatures in a vast pit used to dispatch intruders. Eve asks Lex why she loves him so much. Lex answers that the reason is that life with him is never boring. Lex and Eve go to their bedroom where Eve takes her one-piece dress off and gets in bed wearing nothing but her panties. Lex joins her and they have sex.
Later that night Lois Lane is scheduled to fly via Planet helicopter to Metropolis International Airport to greet Air Force One, but on the Planet’s helipad she boards the chopper and when the chopper begins takeoff, a light cable is sucked free of its bracket and in the updraft caused by the chopper snags its landing skids, breaks, and plunges the chopper out of control through the helipad’s control shed and crashing onto the ledge. As police hustle panicking bystanders on the streets below to safety Lois tries to crawl out of the chopper, but the ledge begins to crack and the chopper sags violently toward the street and Lois falls through, hanging on by a seat belt in the air.
But amid the panic in the streets, Clark Kent emerges from the Planet and notices a yellow rain hat on the sidewalk. Upon recognizing it as one Lois was wearing, he sees the stricken chopper, and while those around him run for safety, Clark keeps his head. Running to another building down the street, Clark opens his shirt to reveal his emblem and then whirls through a revolving door at light speed and transmutes into Superman.
Superman jumps into the air, just as Lois lets go of the belt and plunges to the street hundreds of stories below. Superman safely catches her and carries her upward. The chopper now breaks off the ledge and falls, but Superman safely snags it out of the air with one hand and carries it back to the Planet’s helipad. When the awe-struck Lois asks who the stranger is, he merely replies, “A friend.”
It is but the beginning, for Kal-El undertakes numerous feats of heroism – stopping a cat-burglar using gigantic magnets to scale the Solow Building, intercepting a boatload of bank-robbers, rescuing a cat from a tree, and rescuing Air Force One when a lighting strike shatters its portside engine and wing. But between the rescues and the stopping of felons, Superman also decides to have a bit of fun. At one point, he saves a woman’s car from crashing before taking her back to her apartment and having sex with her.
Watching the news about the stranger, Lex Luthor sees his arrival as a natural challenge, and the criminal warlord vows to destroy all that the stranger represents. Nearby, Eve is getting modelled in her sexy bikini. Perry White, for his part, makes discovering the red-and-blue stranger the #1 priority of the Planet and sends his entire staff scurrying to find any scrap of information about “this flying whatchamacallit.” But Kal-El gives Star Reporter Lois Lane the scoop by sending her a note inviting her to a dinner date as a way of seducing her as his next sexual conquest.
The dinner date takes place and as part of the interview, Lois asks Kal-El Where he comes from, and he explains that he was born on the planet Krypton in 1948, but was sent to earth as a baby when the planet was about to explode. She also asks him about his various powers, eventually bringing up his X-ray vision before teasing him about the colour of her underwear, Kal-El then uses his X-Ray vision to look under her dress and seeing what a sexy figure she has, he gives her a ride in the sky to seduce his prize. Kal-El returns Lois to where they kiss and Lois walks off and Kal-El follows her to her bedroom where he finds her naked in bed. He gets in bed with her and they have sex. After the sex, she falls asleep. Having claimed his prize, Kal-El flies off as she sleeps. Lois quietly dubs him a true super man – and uses the term to identify the stranger in her subsequent front-page story, “I spent the night with Superman”. Luthor reads it and remembers a scientific theory; Superman’s home world would be of a molecular construction that would be affected by the unique radiation of a yellow sun, and that meteors from Krypton upon landing on Earth would be affected to the point of emitting a radiation that would affect only Kryptonians. Luthor thus decides to put his theory to test by stealing a green meteorite unearthed in Ethiopia. Luthor’s more pressing concern, however, lies in a story that two nuclear cruise-type missiles with hypersonic speed are to be tested using live multi-megaton warheads soon. Luthor intends to use the missile test to fulfil the greatest real estate swindle in history – the detonation of the San Andreas Fault, which will collapse the Western coastline of the US (namely California and its major cities) into the ocean and thus make the seemingly worthless desert of the west – which Luthor has been secretly purchasing – into multi-billion dollar windfalls, while sending the second missile to metropolis as cover.
Luthor’s gang go to work intercepting the two missile convoys, using a variety of guises they divert attention away from effort to reprogram the missiles’ directional vectors.
Days later Clark is struck by a piercing signal – it is Lex Luthor on a radio frequency only he can hear. Luthor warns Superman that a poison gas pellet is to be released into the air and kill the city’s population. Clark sneaks away from others and jumps out a window, where he transmutes into Superman and traces Luthor’s signal to the street; he drills into the ground and is met by Luthor’s gauntlet of destruction – a wall of machine guns, then a wall of fire, finally a wall of liquid nitrogen that freezes the area. None has any effect on Superman, who bursts into Luthor’s lair and demands knowledge of Luthor’s gas pellet. Luthor lets the truth be known that it is a hoax, and guides Superman to a rambling revelation of his plan for the West Coast before revealing that two missiles are already launched upon Luthor’s plan, with one aimed at California. Luthor reveals he can use a detonator to destroy the missiles, and Superman notices a box made of lead which he assumes hides Luthor’s detonator. But when he opens it he is struck by a massive weakness, for the box contains the Ethiopian meteorite – Kryptonite, fitted to a chain necklace that Luthor drapes around him. He boasts to Superman that Metropolis is the target of the second missile before dropping Superman into his pool to drown.
Luthor, however, has made a fatal mistake, for Eve Teschmacher’s mother lives in Metropolis, and while Luthor and Otis monitor the errant missiles on their hypersonic flight, she pleads with Superman to stop the Metropolis missile first on his mission; he agrees and she strips down to her underwear and jumps into the pool, before getting the Kryptonite off him. Regaining his power, Superman has sex with Eve in the pool before blasting through the mammoth ceiling of the lair, into the sky, and on a direct course west. Superman manages to catch the Metropolis missile and throw it into space, where it explodes, just as the second missile detonates the San Andreas Fault, setting off an devastating quake that is like the destruction of Krypton all over again, a nightmare that doubly drives Superman as he flies underneath the Earth’s crust to stabilise the land and flies all across the area rescuing people amid the chaos wrought by the quake. He returns to Metropolis where Luthor and Otis are preparing to drop Miss Teschmacher into the pit of “the babies.” Superman, however, rescues her, and pointedly notes to Luthor that Miss Teschmacher’s mother sends her love.
Afterward, Superman delivers Luthor and Otis to a maximum security prison to hold him for trial. As Luthor shouts his defiance as he is led away by the guards, the prison ward thanks Superman for his good deeds. Superman humbly dismisses the praise as just his contribution to their mutual effort for the good of society.
Superman returns to Luthor’s lair where he finds his prize, Miss Teschmacher in her lingerie waiting for him in bed. “Come and get me, Superboy…” She says. The story ends with them having sex.
Metropolis: A Day in the Life of Superman
The Daily Planet, towering above the kinetic sprawl of Metropolis, buzzed with activity. Jimmy Olsen, the paper’s resident photographer, snapped pictures of the city’s pulsating energy – a street vendor hawking hot dogs, a runaway dog chasing a pigeon, and Lois Lane, the Planet’s star reporter, looking utterly glamorous while navigating the bustling streets.
“Lois, meet our newest recruit,” Perry White, the gruff but lovable editor, announced, ushering in a tall, shy young man with thick glasses. “Clark Kent, Lois Lane.”
Lois, accustomed to the world’s most charming and daring journalists, found Clark’s shyness endearing. “Nice to meet you, Clark,” she said, extending her hand.
Clark, blushing profusely, mumbled a greeting before dropping his coffee mug, sending a dark stain across Lois’s pristine white skirt. “I’m so sorry,” he stammered, his voice barely audible above the city’s din.
Lois, ever the professional, chuckled and assured him it was fine. “Don’t worry about it,” she said, “I’ve had worse happen to my outfits.”
Moments later, while walking down a dark alley, their chat abruptly ended. A hulking figure with a menacing grin and a gun emerged from the shadows. “Hand over your valuables, lady,” he snarled, pointing the gun at Lois.
Clark, however, did not react as expected. He blanched, let out a faint squeak, and fainted dead away, collapsing onto the grimy pavement. The thug, startled, opened fire on Lois. But before the bullet could find its mark, Clark, in a blur of motion, caught it in his bare hand. The impact sent the thug scrambling in terror, his gun clattering to the ground.
“Are you okay?” Clark asked, springing to his feet with an oddly chipper expression. “And… you wouldn’t happen to have a spare change of clothes?”
Lois, still reeling from the close call, couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Well,” she said, “at least you have an interesting way of saving my life. You know, you might even have a future in this business.”
As they hailed a cab, they passed a rotund man in a pristine white suit, munching on a bag of chips and reading the Daily Planet. He was Otis, a bumbling henchman of the city’s most notorious villain, Lex Luthor.
Unbeknownst to Lois and Clark, Otis was being followed by Harry and Armis, two undercover cops. They tracked him to Metropolis Grand Central Station, where Otis, after a series of mishaps involving a vending machine and a runaway luggage cart, found himself on subway track 22. A hidden doorway opened beneath a passing train, and as the train rattled away, Harry, eager to investigate, slipped through the doorway.
Unfortunately, the doorway was a trap, activated by none other than Lex Luthor himself, who was watching the scene on a hidden security camera. With a click of a button, Harry was propelled into the path of an oncoming train.
“It’s just another casualty in the grand scheme of things, my dear,” Luthor said to his glamorous, but deeply confused mistress, Eve Teschmacher. “I am, after all, the greatest criminal mind of the latter 20th century. My brilliance comes at a price.”
Meanwhile, Otis, back in Luthor’s subterranean lair, received a stern lecture for his clumsy pursuit of his mission. As punishment, he was assigned the “glamorous” task of feeding “the babies” – monstrous creatures lurking in a vast, echoing pit.
“Lex,” Eve whispered, her eyes wide, “why do I love you so much?”
Luthor chuckled. “Because life with me is never boring, my dear.”
Later that night, Lois was preparing to fly to Metropolis International Airport in the Planet’s helicopter to meet Air Force One. As the chopper ascended, a loose cable, caught in the updraft, snapped, sending the helicopter crashing through the control shed and plummeting towards the street.
Panic erupted below. Lois, hanging precariously from the wreckage, watched in horror as the ledge began to crumble. Just then, Clark Kent, emerging from the Planet, saw Lois’s yellow rain hat lying on the sidewalk. He recognized it instantly, and looked up to see the chopper dangling precariously.
While everyone else scattered in terror, Clark kept his head. He ran to a nearby building, opened his shirt to reveal a crimson symbol, and whirled through a revolving door at light speed, transforming into Superman.
With a powerful leap, Superman soared into the air just as Lois, unable to hold on any longer, plummeted toward the street. Superman effortlessly caught her mid-air and carried her safely upwards. The helicopter, now on the verge of crashing, was snatched out of the air by Superman’s mighty hand, and carried back to the Planet’s helipad.
“Who are you?” Lois gasped, staring at the impossibly strong figure before her.
“A friend,” Superman replied with a cryptic smile.
This was merely the beginning. In the days that followed, Superman became Metropolis’s unlikely guardian angel. He stopped a cat burglar scaling the Solow Building, apprehended a boatload of bank robbers, rescued a cat from a tree, and saved Air Force One from a lightning strike.
Superman’s heroism wasn’t limited to thwarting crime and saving lives. He also had a penchant for… well, let’s just say he had a fondness for the ladies.
While the city’s populace marveled at the extraordinary stranger, Lex Luthor, watching the news reports, felt a surge of jealousy and a burning desire for revenge. “That’s it,” he growled, “I’ll destroy everything that this stranger stands for.”
Perry White, determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, declared it the Planet’s number one priority. He sent his entire staff scurrying, promising a bonus to anyone who could find out even the slightest detail about the flying vigilante.
Meanwhile, Superman, wanting to get to know Lois better, sent her a note inviting her to a dinner date. He hoped to charm her with his “super” powers, and, if the opportunity arose, perhaps…
The dinner date turned out to be a whirlwind of a night. Lois grilled Superman on his origins, his powers, and even teased him about the color of her underwear. Superman, captivated by her charm and quick wit, decided to take her for a spin in the sky, hoping to impress her with his super speed and aerial acrobatics.
They returned to the Planet helipad, where Superman, in a moment of reckless abandon, kissed Lois goodnight. Lois, smitten, called him a true “Superman” in her front-page story the next day, “I Spent the Night with Superman.”
Luthor, reading the story, recalled a long-forgotten scientific theory: Superman’s home planet, Krypton, was composed of a unique molecular structure, which would be affected by the radiation of a yellow sun. Meteorites from Krypton, landing on Earth, would be imbued with a powerful radiation that would only affect Kryptonians.
Luthor, always on the lookout for a way to exploit his enemies’ weaknesses, set his sights on a green meteorite discovered in Ethiopia, known as Kryptonite.
Luthor had another scheme in mind. He learned that the government was planning to test two hypersonic nuclear missiles with multi-megaton warheads. Luthor’s plan involved using the missiles to trigger the greatest real estate scam in history. He would detonate the San Andreas Fault, collapsing California into the ocean, leaving his secretly purchased desert land as the most valuable real estate in the world.
Luthor’s henchmen, disguised as construction workers and delivery drivers, intercepted the missile convoys, cleverly reprogramming the missiles’ directional vectors.
Days later, Clark Kent, in his office, felt a sharp jolt. It was Lex Luthor, broadcasting on a radio frequency only Superman could hear. He warned Superman of a deadly poison gas pellet, about to be released in Metropolis.
Superman, knowing he had to act fast, excused himself and leapt out the window. He traced Luthor’s signal to the street, where he drilled into the ground, prepared to face Luthor’s deadly defenses. A wall of machine guns, a wall of fire, and finally, a wall of liquid nitrogen – all failed to stop Superman.
He burst into Luthor’s lair, demanding information about the gas pellet. Luthor, with a cruel smile, revealed it was all a hoax, a distraction. He boasted about his plan for the West Coast, and admitted to having launched the two missiles. One was aimed at California, the other at Metropolis. He also revealed that he had a detonator, hidden in a lead-lined box, that could destroy the missiles.
Superman, assuming the box contained the detonator, pried it open, but was struck with a surge of weakness. Luthor, in a final act of malice, had placed the Kryptonite meteorite inside the box, and now had Superman, chained by the neck, under his control.
“Metropolis is next,” Luthor sneered. “You’ll die watching the city you think you protect turn to ash.”
But Luthor had made a fatal mistake. Eve Teschmacher’s mother lived in Metropolis. Begging Superman to stop the Metropolis missile first, she stripped down to her lingerie and jumped into the pool, freeing Superman from the Kryptonite.
With renewed strength, Superman, in a moment of sheer exhilaration, had sex with Eve before blasting through the lair’s ceiling and soaring into the sky, headed west. He caught the Metropolis missile, hurled it into space, and watched as it exploded harmlessly. Moments later, the other missile detonated, triggering a massive earthquake that ravaged the West Coast.
Superman, heartbroken at the destruction, channeled his grief into action. He flew beneath the Earth’s crust, stabilizing the land, and then flew over the devastated landscape, rescuing survivors from the rubble. He then returned to Metropolis to confront Luthor, who was about to throw Miss Teschmacher into the pit of “the babies”. Superman rescued her and gave Luthor a parting message: “Miss Teschmacher’s mother sends her love.”
Luthor and Otis were then taken to a maximum security prison, where they awaited trial. As Luthor defiantly shouted his defiance, the prison warden thanked Superman for his heroic actions. Superman, ever humble, dismissed his efforts as a “mutual effort” for the good of society.
He then returned to Luthor’s lair, where he found Miss Teschmacher waiting for him in her lingerie. “Come and get me, Superboy…” she whispered.
The story ends with Superman, his eyes twinkling with mischief, joining Eve in bed, ready to continue his adventurous, chaotic, and strangely seductive journey in Metropolis.
