Clark Kent catches Jimmy Olsen reading a Captain Marvel comic, on company time. While Olsen explains his interest in Captain Marvel, Kent hears the distinct sound of squealing brakes. Using his telescopic vision, Kent sees two elevated trains on a collision course with one another. Kent races to a storeroom to change into his costumed identity, Superman. However, surprisingly, the costume he is wearing under his suit is Captain Marvel’s. With no time to question the situation, Superman leaps out the window, flying for the trains. Very quickly he realizes that he no longer possesses any of his super senses.
Arriving in the nick of time, Superman tears up the elevated track, diverting one train into the air, while the other he stops with his super breath. Leaping after the derailed train, Superman catches it, and guides it gently down to the train station. Taking a few moments to ponder the mystery, Superman realizes that it isn’t just his costume that has switched but also his powers. Superman flies to the Rock of Eternity, and uses it to slingshot him into Captain Marvel’s universe. As soon as Superman departs, the architect behind his woes, Mister Mxyzptlk, makes his appearance, to gloat.
