En route to the laboratory of Professor Bolden to help test a new energy source, Superman is attacked by a pair of thieves using Boldens device. The device is made from K-Iron and is very sensitive to heat while also super-heating the Man of Steel to where the vacuum of space cannot extinguish the flames surrounding him. Falling into a nearby lake, all of the water is instantly evaporated and Superman is unconscious.
