Stories

Balance of Power · 22 pages
Live Wire revives and decides to make up for years of male domination of women by preventing the work of any men from appearing in any mass communications medium. After an initial defeat at the hands of Live Wire, Superman challenges her to another match, where, with the help of Luthor's technology, the Man of Steel contains the villainess.
