He’s called Sunburst, and to the fans of Japanese monster films he’s a hero...but to the people of Tokyo he’s the greatest menace since Godzilla stalked their streets!

Can Chris and Vicki, even in their hero guises, defeat a group of 10 super-villains? The Master is betting they can’t!

It is revealed that Sunburst is being blackmailed to commit crimes. Meanwhile, Superboy is recalling his recent defeat by Sunburst. Jonathan and Martha Kent are in Smallville discussing Johnathan’s bid for city council with Mal Davis. Superboy reveals that Sunburst informed him his parents are being held by criminals. Superboy rescues Sunburst’s parents and learns the true origin of his powers.

The back-up story is Dial “H” for Hero, “The Master’s Plan!”
