Krisis of the Krimson Kryptonite Part Two/A

This story is continued from Adventures of Superman #472 and continues in Action Comics #659.

Synopsis:
Starman visits Metropolis at the request of Superman. The Man of Steel asks Starman for help restoring his lost super powers. Starman exposes Superman to solar energy, but it fails to recharge the powerless hero like it did previously. Starman then impersonates Superman to foil a bank robbery and retrieve the Red Kryptonite from Luthor. Professor Hamilton analyzes the rock, but finds no clue as to how it affected Superman. Superman then decides to use an armored suit while he remains powerless.
