The Has-Been Superman!

This is Clark Kent in his old secret identity... Superman! He's fantastically strong... super-swift... and invulnerable!

This is Clark Kent in his new secret identity... The Nova! He has absolutely no super-powers! He must rely on his wits and athletic ability!

No, Reader... this isn't for real! It's an imaginary story! But it could happen... and if the world's mightiest man lost his powers... for good... do you think he could make a comeback as a non-super-hero? Or would he turn out to be... "The Has-Been Superman!"
