Synopsis

In Atom Man in Metropolis - Pt 11, Clark Kent's life hangs in the balance as he is held captive by Sidney, a cunning spy, and the dangerous Atom Man, Henry Miller. Sidney has orchestrated this trap, knowing that Kent is Superman, and has confined him in a lead-lined closet where he cannot use his X-ray vision to escape. The two villains plan to keep him in a coma until he either starves to death or succumbs to thirst, believing that the kryptonite in Miller's blood will weaken Kent sufficiently.
