Superman tries to talk Titano down, but he's grabbed. Beppo flies in and starts talking monkey-chatter to Titano. Titano fires a red Kryptonite eye-beam at Superman, splitting him in two! Negative Superman flies off to do negative stuff, like changing into Clark Kant, irritating Lois Lane. Titano grabs both Clarks, slamming them together, which reunites Superman into one person.

It's a pebble-sized piece of purple Kryptonite which Lex Luthor catches and then gives to Otis to throw away as he's looking for red kryptonite.

When he bumps into Clark Kent, he's suddenly super-powerful, leaving Clark feeling very sleepy.

More coffee has Superman sprightly again, as Parasite comes across Lois Lane and is immediately smitten. Superman challenges Parasite to a race, draining him of his powers. Lex Luthor gets a job at the Daily Planet, but finds the task of getting Perry White his coffee too much of a challenge. - Superman Family Adventures #6 (December)
