Cliffhanger: Using everything in the Fortress of Solitude, Jimmy tries to fight off Tal-Var without success. Jimmy's last hope is a simple hand grenade that bounces off Tal-Var's chest.

Conclusion: Superman breaks through the Fortress of Solitude's walls and distracts Tal-Var. Jimmy grabs the Phantom Zone Projector and captures Tal-Var in the Phantom Zone. Tal-Var notes that Jimmy trapped Superman also. Jimmy explains the grenade he threw was a mirage grenade so the Superman in the Phantom Zone is not the real Superman. The real Superman returns and Jimmy explains what happened.
