The stories

“The Unemployed Superman!”

Returning from a trip to space, Superman is puzzled to learn that there is no more crime on Earth, and natural disasters have ceased also. Space beings called the Sentinels claim responsibility and convince him to leave Earth, where he is no longer needed.

“Supergirl's Stand to Save Stanhope!”

Supergirl defeats future criminals Alpha and Beta and their plot to change history. Law enforcement officials from the future reveal that they prevented Supergirl from exposing herself to Gold Kryptonite, but hypnotized her into thinking that she had indeed lost her powers.
