Presenting the Transcription feature, Superman! Gosh! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman! Yes, it's Superman! Strange visitor from the planet Krypton, who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.

Superman, who can leap tall buildings at a single bound, brace a feeding bullet to its target, then steal in his fair hand, and who disguise this Clark Kent, and mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for truth and justice.

Letting Ken take the controls to tenant Elliot opens the tail compartment to get some glycerin, only to step back horrified. Reaching for an automatic pistol, he levels it at the opening. Ken, there's someone in that compartment.

What? Saw two eyes tearing at me out of the darkness. Sure, Elliot. Positive. Don't worry, I'll get to whoever it is with this gun. You stay at the controls. You better not be handling it. You take the ship.

No, I'll get him. You just sit tight. Okay. You're goers. Hey, wait a minute. Elliot, don't shoot. What? Who is it? Come out of there. Okay, I'm coming. What? Why is the kid who brought your madness?
