One of my favorites of the John Bryne "team-up" covers from the '80s (Action Comics #584-99), nothing like a simple, yellow cover! Reporter Clark Kent falls into a vat of chemicals, containing the chemical remains of Villain Chemo. Kent emerges from the chemicals unharmed but Chemo is able to reconstruct himself after exposure to Kent's super cell structure, duplicating Superman's powers. With the aid of the Metal Men, the Man of Steel is able to confront his new green doppelganger.
