Synopsis

In the fourth part of Atom Man in Metropolis, Superman is in a dire state after being left for dead on a beach by the villainous Henry Miller, known as the Atom Man. He is taken to a hospital, where he lies in a coma, his identity unknown to those around him. Meanwhile, Miller, having lost his kryptonite-enhanced powers, is desperate to regain them. He enlists the help of a shady character named Sidney and a German chemist, Joseph Bush, to dissolve the kryptonite fragment stolen by the Scarlet Widow. The atmosphere is charged with tension as they struggle to find the right formula to restore Miller's powers.
