Lex Luthor, who liberated the Copperhead, declares himself the leader of the Secret Society after a brief battle with the Wizard. He recruits the Matter Master and Felix Faust to help him attack Superman in Sapporo, Japan, where a Superman movie is being filmed. The three magicians mistake actor Gregory Reed for the real Man of Steel and provoke an attack, but Captain Comet and Hawkgirl go to Reed's aid.
