Synopsis:
Superman has a dream in which he recalls his activities as Gangbuster. During that timed he learned that Brainiac was still alive and working with Luthor. When he awakens, Superman tries to track down Lex. He eventually finds him at a weapons manufacturing plant in Houston.

Meanwhile, Brainiac has revived and takes control of the employees at Luthor's psionics facility. He then directs Happersen to take control of the LexCorp computers. Using the computers, Brainiac is able to attack Lex remotely using the facilities robotics. When Superman arrives, Lex is under attack. Superman saves Luthor and informs him that he knows Brainiac is alive.

Later, Happersen contacts Luthor to inform him that Brainiac has escaped the facility. However, Happersen is really under Brainiac's control. Brainiac is also assisted by a new partner, Metallo.
