Synopsis:
Three faceless creatures show up in Metropolis with odd magnetic powers. Superman confronts the creature, but each time he uses a super power near a creature, the creature steals his power from him. Batman and Robin try to help Superman against the creatures, but one now possesses super-strength, another flight, and the third heat vision.

Once the creatures have acquired Superman’s powers, they begin to rob several places around the city. Two crooks, controlling the creatures with a crystal globe arrive to direct the creatures. Superman then comes back after having been knocked out by the creature with his strength. Using his telescopic vision, he followed one of the creatures and learned about the crystal. He takes the crystal and orders the creatures to restore his powers, then he smashes the globe forever.
