Synopsis:
The men in class at Stanhope College votes for the men they'd most like to be. Superman wins. The professor running the class has time capsules built containing the names. He asks Supergirl to place the capsules on each of the nine planets. On Pluto, she encounters a group of metal lions which resemble the Metal Men. After defeating the lions, she returns to Earth.

The professor then holds a contest for the girls. Supergirl finishes last. Linda is surprised and hurt by the results. Despite her bruised ego, Supergirl helps a fellow classmate whose father has gone bankrupt attempting to produce a movie. She then helps a transport ship with a cargo of medical supplies.

When she returns to Stanhope, Supergirl discovers metal in her hair from the alien lions. She suspects that the metal caused the computer tabulating the voting results to fail. The vote is taken again, and this time Supergirl is the winner.
