Showcase Present Superman: Part 8

This is the eighth of numerous posts on Showcase Presents: Superman. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed the stories.Now, this won't be like most comic blogs with scanned pictures posted throughout. Mostly because I don't have a scanner, but the stories should speak for themselves, but also because I want to go through the whole book in the next few weeks, and I want non-comics readers to enjoy the kookiness that us comics readers understand from the Silver Age. While I may mock these stories, I am not making anything up, this is all straight from the comics! While I may mock, I love these stories and the character of Superman. This is great stuff! The cover scans are from the Comic Book Database.

Superman #125

"Lois Lane's Super-Dream"

Tagline: "Lois dreams that both she and Clark get super powers."

Lois falls off a ledge at the site of the Metropolitan Science Fair, is knocked unconscious, and has to go to the hospital. for some reason she needs a blood transfusion, and she dreams that Superman gives it to her. In reality he just rushes off to Chicago to get her some rare blood type.

So, the first thing she does in her dream is fly away, put on a blond wig, and becomes Power Girl, and she works closely with Superman. No, not this new, disturbing Power Girl:

But a good old fashion Super Girl wannabe. Shortly after working with Superman in the dream, Clark Kent is hurt. He gets a transfusion of her blood, and Clark gets powers too! So now there are three superheroes, Superman, Power Girl, and Power Man. No, not this hip, '70s Power Man:

But a clumsy screw up with glasses and a kickin' 70's porn style mustache (20 years early)!

Clark is a terrible superhero. He continues to mess things up and Power Girl has to fix them. But soon Power Man spots a sinking Mother Goose Excursion Boat shaped as a giant shoe sinking. He decides to go to a jungle, find some rubber trees, squeeze some rubber out of them, and create a giant life-preserver. Right as he makes it back, Power Girl evaporates the river and the kids flee to safety. Who knows why they didn't just pick up the boat and take it to land. Instead they decide to wreak ecological havoc!

Clark also creates earthquakes by landing, and changing into his outfit in front of store windows before Lois finally wakes up and mocks the real Clark Kent for being a failure while he winks at us from the last panel.
