    1. The Babe of Steel: (Superman vs Prankster)while fleeing superman the Prankster crashes in the Florida everglades and finds the fountain of youth. he uses it to make a former child star young again so she can get a part in a movie all so he can get access to steel a diamond necklace. after Superman stops him he tries to trick Lois into drinking the water so she will become young, leaving a note for her to keep Superman away from him for a week if she wants the antidote but Clark drinks it instead and gets turned into a baby.
    2. The Last Days of Superman: (Superman) Clark is walking to work when he sees a jewelry heist happening but before he can change to Superman he gets weak, feeling the effects of Kryptonite that has been mistaken for a rare gem. while he faints Lois shows up with a photographer who gets hit by the bag holding the jewels. back at the planet, Clark faints again and a doctor is brought in and tells them Clark has only a month left to live. thinking there was no Kryptonite at the office Superman believes he has been exposed to Kryptonite too many times (if only he had a clue how common it would become) and accepts that he only has a month to live so he tries to leave a legacy by build up stockpiles of coal and oil and building a super solar plant. Clark is then told that a rogue planet has been discovered by a scientist who believes it will hit the earth in 1987. he flies into space to destroy this uninhabited planet and wonders if Earth will still exist in 1987 (spoiler: his earth won't as it was destroyed in 1985's crisis on infinite earths). finally, after carving a message into the moon that ends in revealing his identity he returns to the Daily Planet thinking he has only hours to live and realizes the whole thing was because a sliver of Kryptonite got stuck in the photographer's camera so he gets rid of that and rushes to erase the part of the message that revealed his identity.
