Authentic replica kryptonite.
Come on,
let's go, $5.98,
but I'll settle for $5.00.
I'm easy. Come
on. Let's go.
It's so real, it's scary.
So, so realistic,
Superboy would run.
All right, come on.
It's a--it's a sellout.
Let's go. Everything's
gotta go.
Bargain prices.
I'll settle for $6.00.
How did I ever let you talk me
into this?
I mean you said you needed help
on a project,
not peddling these
things on the street.
I am a businessman, Lana,
and this is my business.
Thank you very much, sir.
Help yourself.
Okay.
All right, come on.
Let's go.
It's a clearance. We gotta get
'em all out. All go today.
Why are you doing
this to me?
Get out!
Get out of my head!
Stop or I'll shoot!
Lana, what
happened here?
Oh, Clark, it was horrible.
I mean this guy came
outta nowhere
and he had these--
these long, long,
long nails with like--
like claws, and they--they came
and scratched Andy and they--
Relax!
Relax.
It's no big deal.
Oh, I don't feel so good.
Well, at least there's no
internal injury. I mean that'swhat
I heard the paramedics saying.
That guy was such a maniac.
And--and when
the cops tried catch him,
he jumped into
the sewers.
I'm gonna go over there
and check things out,
see what I can dig up.
Whoa, hold it
right there, Rambo.
S--sorry, sir.
Come on in.
Excuse me.
I'd like to examine the boy
if you don't mind.
Uh, wait.
Do--do I have a say in this?
Just relax.
It really tastes quite pleasant.
Uh, no, no, no.
I'm sorry.
My regular doctor,
he told me that
I couldn't eat anything blue.
I--it's just a--
Wait a minute.
Please, I'm a doctor.
I mean your friend no harm.
It's OK, Andy.
Ah! Uh, you said
that tastes good?
I'm never gonna come
to your house for lunch.
He's gonna be all right.
Excuse me.
I have other
people to tend to.
Wait, it doesn't taste good!
Don't believe him.
What--what exactly
are you doing here?
And what is that stuff that
you're giving these people?
Powerful medicine
to cure a most powerful disease.
Disease?
What are you talking about?
That madman was
under the spell
of an Evil Prodo
and cursed to
an eternity of suffering.
Those people scarred
by the madman would
be damned as well.
What's a prodo?
A sorcerer with the power
to control life and death.
These people were
to become pawns
of the Evil Prodo,
their minds and bodies decayed.
And within 24 hours,
they would be beyond
the help of my medicine.
You don't sound like
any doctor I've ever met before.
You might say I'm a--a
specialist.
I came to this city because my
services were needed.
Fortunately, I arrived
in time to help these
people,
but now I must attack the source
of the plague.
I know what I'm doing.
Trust me.
I do.
I don't know why,
but I do.
Who are you?
A friend.
Who was that guy?
His name is Brimstone.
We have work to do.
I can't.
No more, please.
Get out of my head.
Stay back.
Let me
see what I can do.
Okay, pal.
Let's try
this the easy way.
Come on.
I don't
want to hurt you.
Let me help you.
Fight him.
Free yourself.
Slash him.
No, not him.
Do it!
Make him mine.
Seal his fate.
Cut him again.
Thank God.
I'm free.
I'm sorry.
Superboy, you're bleeding.
Are you all right?
Yes.
And by tomorrow,
Superboy will be mine.
And by his hand,
Brimstone will be destroyed.
No.
No.
You are mine now, Superboy.
And you will do as I command.
Yes!
And I command you to kill.
No!
You have no choice.
You will kill the one they call
Brimstone.
Lana, get away.
Please.
I'm out of control.
Oh, wonderful.
He is vulnerable to my magics.
I trust you had
no problem finding
my humble abode.
Humble maybe
from the outside.
Yes, well, appearances
can be deceiving.
Now how can
I help you?
It's Superboy.
Something's happened,
and he's turned into
this--this--
Becoming like
that madman.
Yeah.
I was afraid something like that
might happen.
Then you'll be able
to help him?
If I can get to him
before nightfall.
Otherwise it'll
be too late.
What are all those powders for?
Some of these powders can cure
Superboy,
and others can kill him.
Wa--wait.
I thought you said
you were gonna save him.
Wh--what are--what are you
doing?
Mixing magic.
Magicians never tell their
Trust me.
If you don't mind, I'd like
for you to wait outside.
Sure.
Thank you.
The fact that he
succumbed to
the madman's attack
proves that
he's vulnerable to magic.
So I've got to fight fire
with fire in order
to bring Superboy back.
Then all that stuff
in your trailer,
you use it all to
fight evil magic?
I try.
I've dedicated
my life to it.
Why?
Wait, I'm picking something up.
You've got a radar.
In a way,
only this radar picks up
paranormal activity.
And this one's coming up fast.
What is it?
Three guesses.
And now to take
you to Prodo.
What are you gonna do?
We're wasting time.
No!
Hold it, Proto!
I'm not out of this picture yet!
I have already beaten you,
Brimstone,
just as your father
beat mine.
Now I will take my just revenge,
old enemy.
You are just too stupid
to stay down.
He did it.
You're cured.
Who?
What our you talking about?
Brimstone.
Well, it looks like
he needs my help now.
Use my magic powders.
Don't even try it, Superboy.
You don't realize
the kind of power you are
dealing with.
That's right, but there's only
one way to find out.
You killed him.
You didn't kill
him, Superboy.
He was already dead
for over 200 years,
only he was too stupid
to stay dead.
