History

(Superman I #299) - The alien Xviar planned to charge up Superman's powers until he became a superbomb and destroyed Earth. Toward this purpose he teleported several of Superman's deadliest foes, including Toyman, into the apartment of Clark Kent, Superman's civilian identity. Superman responded, and Xviar teleported the villains across the globe, making Superman chase them.  Superman easily defeated Toyman, Prankster and Terra-Man in Egypt. As Superman approached critical mass he figured out Xviar's scheme, and foiled him by defeating his final adversary, Kryptonite Man, in his non-powered civilian identity.
