Synopsis for "The League of Fantastic Supermen"
Four Kandorian criminals gas the population of Kandor into unconsciousness and escape from the city's bottle. But Jimmy Olsen, visiting in the Fortress of Solitude, uses a Red Kryptonite ray on them, and thus gives the four of them outlandish-appearing heads. Later, the four Kandorians are captured by members of the Legion of Super-Villains who imitate them as part of a plot to free the Phantom Zone villains, but Jimmy, Supergirl, and the Superman robots capture them instead.

Notes
- "The League of Fantastic Supermen" was reprinted in Superman Family #169.
- The Kandorian criminals transform into various costumes used by Superman in the past, most of which were recently reprinted in Superman Annual #3. The lion head is from Action Comics #243, the big-headed Superman from Action Comics #256, and the bearded Superman from Action Comics #251. The alien superman may be genuinely new to this comic: while Superman has transformed into a green-skinned alien in the past (World's Finest #105), the appearance is distinct.
- "Jimmy Olsen, Editor-in-Chief!" was reprinted in The Best of DC #6.
