They shot a blast of the energy at Metropolis, and Superman stopped it by  smothering it in sand, but he'd unwittingly played into their hands. The orange energy would activate in his body if he performed any super-feats in the next few days, igniting him and all of Metropolis. What they didn't know was that Superman had lost his powers when not in costume, and decided to retire as Clark Kent. Clark did another investigation into Inter-Gang, and with the help of an informant found their truck, a mobile office. He used an anti-gravity device built for him by his friend Prof. Pepperwinkle to subdue the thugs inside and liberate a bunch of Inter-Gang papers.

(Superman I #298) - Clark Kent's investigation led to Inter-Gang boss Max Danner being brought up for trial with Clark as the star witness.

Unknown to them Clark had decided to spend the week living only as Superman. The hitman found that Clark wasn't home, but Xviar, Clark's malevolent alien neighbor, was rifling through his apartment, and disintegrated the meddling hitman.

Mr. Miracle was tailing Carolyn, and overheard everything, but when they became aware of his presence they activated the Machine and fled on a thought wave. Mr. Miracle tried to warn Superman, but found that the Mentropy Machine s effects prevented him from doing so. He came up with a plan to side-step the Machine s effects, goading Superman into signing up for a highly publicized contest live on TV. They d meet in Nevada, and the first one back to Las Vegas would be the winner, with no other rules for the challenge. They battled with Superman seemingly winning, but when he flew off he found that Miracle had tricked him into flying in the opposite direction as Les Vegas using illusion. He caught up to Miracle who had already destroyed the Mentropy Manchine and apprehended  Numbers,  Xugat and Dole.
