History: 

(Superman I #297) - Morgan Edge bullied Clark, demanding he take an assignment in Chile. What he didn't know was that Superman had temporarily lost his powers, and was finding himself in his civilian identity. Clark refused the assignment, grabbed Edge's cigarette, and put it out. Edge was thrilled with Clark's newfound chutzpah, and gave him a raise.

(Superman I #298, 299) - Lois told Edge she was worried about Clark, who failed to appear in court to testify against Inter-Gang leader Max Danner. Morgan said he'd probably gone chicken, but Lois assured him Clark had showed a world of bravery lately, and she worried that Inter-Gang had kidnapped him. Unknown to her Clark decided to spend the week living only as Superman. Clark solved his problems with organized crime, and returned to work as his usual milquetoast self. Edge was comfortable bossing around Clark like he used to.

(DC Comics Presents #40) - It was sweeps week, and Morgan Edge sent Clark Kent to Haneyville to investigate elements that had gone out of control. He told Clark ratings were important, and his job was on the line. Clark, as Superman, solved the problem, and Edge was pleased when Clark returned with an interview with Haneyville hero Metamorpho, who helped him save the town.
