Disclose Notes: The book that Lois is reading to Chris on page 21 is an homage to the golden age Flash's three friends, who were frequently called "The Three Dimwits", and looked like that cover illo. And the authors listed on that book are an homage to that Flash's creative team, E. E. Hibbard and Gardner Fox.

Character(s): Arion [of Atlantis]; Subjekt-17; Dr. Sliney (cameo); Gerald (cameo); Arion [Bill Knightly]
Synopsis: Superman has been trying to track Arion, with the help of Zatanna and the Phantom Stranger. Arion keeps creating minor disasters as a warning, which Superman stops. Subjekt-17 tracks down Superman, and makes him choose between helping Subjekt-17, or standing for his torturers. Superman wants to do both, but Subjekt-17 treats that as a rejection of him, and attacks. Superman defeats him, and Subjekt-17 reveals where Arion is, but he teleports away. Superman goes to Arion, but instead of attacking directly as Arion had figured, he causes a whirlpool, and lets the ocean’s weight crush the city.
