Synopsis:
Simyan and Mokkari, rejects from the Cadmus Project, send a group of neanderthals to kill a LexCorp research team scouting for Kryptonite. The aliens want to project their secret research lab where they are conducting cloning experiments. One of their genetic creations, a four armed terror, is then sent to Metropolis to battle Superman.

Superman finds the monster and starts fighting it. However, he is weakened as if he was exposed to Kryptonite. Mokkari and Simyan observe the battle using tiny robot cameras. Jimmy Olsen sees the battle and recognizes the creature from the alien dimension in which he was recently trapped. Using a fake eyepatch, Jimmy convinces the creature that he is Number One, the man he met in the dimension. The creature breaks off the attack of Superman. Simyan and Mokkari then recall the creature, intending to take Jimmy as well, but Superman pulls him back at the last minute. Jimmy is upset because he thought the creature would lead him to his mother who is in the custody of Simyan and Mokkari.
