Synopsis:

Clark Kent begins work on the crime beat when the news comes in of a terrorist weapon about to be deployed in the vicinity of the city hospital. When he arrives on the scene, the weapon has been removed from the hospital by a surgeon who tries to get it as far away from any civilians as he can. With Superman's help this is achieved, but the blast fills the doctor with a strange sort of energy which courses through him and needs to be released every so often. Feeling he's now a freak, he lashes out at Superman, until the hero can persuade him that leading a normal life and doing what he's always done - helping others - can be achieved. In the course of events, Superman finds that his super-hearing is deteriorating.
