Zha-Vam soon leads the crooks in a raid on the Fort Knox gold reserve. Superman attempts to stop the robbery leading to a fantastic battle between the two super powered men. Zha-Vam proves to be the equal of Superman. He then uses additional power available from his belt which allows him to grow to titanic size. He throws Superman into outer space.

The Man of Steel doesn't comply, but knows he will soon meet Zha-Vam again.
