Superman arrives at the Daily Planet and tells Perry White that he may be close to finding a cure for his weakness to Kryptonite, and so Perry assigns Lois Lane to go to Superman's Fortress of Solitude to cover the story. During the experiment there is an explosion that seemingly strips Superman of his super-powers. Realizing that he's now just a mortal man, Superman asks Lois to finally marry him, however Lois isn't sure if she loves Superman for who he is or for his super-powers and tells him that she needs to think about it. The two are returned to Metropolis by one of his Superman robots. Back in Metropolis, the duo realize that once the criminal world learned that Superman is now ordinary, he would become a target instantly, so Lois decides to only report that the experiment failed and nothing else. Everyone continues to consider Superman the mightiest mortal on Earth, however when in private with Lois, Superman can't help but feel like a sham. When other men fall head over heels for Lois but resist the urge to propose to her because of her relationship with Superman, she begins to wonder if she really does care for the former Man of Steel. Returning home, Lois is shocked to find that she has super-powers just like Superman had, and when she hears reports of a tornado about to attack Metropolis, she goes to the rescue and after showing Superman her discovery destroys the tornado before it can do any damage. Although Superman is proud of her use of her new powers, his pride is hurt from the fact someone other than he had to save the day. After a series of super-feats, Lois takes Superman out on a drive and tells the Man of Steel that she cannot marry him because he doesn't have any super powers anymore and that he'd constantly be at risk and miserable. Later, Superman appears at her office and tells her he's leaving for good, when he suddenly collapses. To her shock Superman is dieing, and Lois soon realizes that she lost her super-powers as well. Another Superman enters the room, this one is the real Superman, and still has his super-powers. He explains to Lois that this is one of his Superman Robots (model Z), and asks the robot why he disobeyed his orders. The robot explains that after years of observing Lois trying to trick Superman into marrying her, it took it upon itself to see that she if she is worthy of the privilege. The robots assessment of the situation is that Lois only loved Superman's powers, not the man itself otherwise she would not have turned down his proposal, and with that the robot deactivates. Lois is devastated by this revelation, however Superman tells her not to let the robots judgment make up their minds, suggesting that the robot was correct that if one of them had super-powers and the other did not, they would be a miserable couple, and flies off.
