Muto -- Monarch of Menace!

Story Featuring Superman

"Hopping heroes! What kind of Superman story is this?"

Storyline

Superman's father was responsible for Muto being born a freak, which is why Muto wants vengeance of the whole Superman line. In the year 2966, Superman tracks Muto to Sector Z-44, where the villain springs a series of traps on the hero, finally luring him into saving a trio of android children in the path of a wave of paralyzing toxic sea water.

Story Notes

Future Superman series continues from Superman (DC, 1939 series) #181; series continues in Action Comics (DC, 1938 series) #339. Story references the "Federation of Planets" before the debut of Star Trek. Though not a "United Federation of Planets". This story states that the chemical fallout left by a past atomic war settled in the seas of EVERY planet. This nonsensical explanation allows the writers to use this weakness in any adventure no matter where it takes place.
