'''The Phantom Stranger'''

A mysterious and extremely powerful individual, always clad in a dark blue suit with matching cape and hat, and wearing a gold medallion on a chain around his neck (first appearance: The Phantom Stranger No. 1, Aug/Sep 1952: "The Haunters from Beyond"). His origin is shrouded in mystery and the source of his powers and his motivation are unknown. He has assisted [[Superman]], the [[Justice League of America]], and other heroes on numerous occasions.

In February 1980, the Phantom Stranger mysteriously intervenes in Superman's battle with [[Dracula]] and causes both Dracula and his servant the [[Frankenstein Monster]] to be whisked away to a place he describes only as "nightmare" (S No. 344: "The Monsters Among Us!").

In September of that year, the Phantom Stranger again meets Superman when Superman is experiencing painful attacks brought on by the magic of [[Madame Benita]] who is working on behalf of [[Pete Ross]], Superman's childhood friend. Ross, who has long-known and protected Superman's secret identity, had turned against the [[Man of Steel]] for not rescuing his son [[Jonathan Ross]] from the planet [[Nyrvn]]. Superman had refused to rescue Jon because the [[Legion of Super-Heroes]] had told him that Jon was destined to one day lead an alien starfleet and save the earth, and that returning Jon to Earth would spoil this destiny. (see [[Jonathan Ross]])

When the Phantom Stranger confronts Madame Benita, he becomes locked in a spiritual battle with the demonic [[Tala]], who has been using Benita, Pete, and another man who had stolen tokens from the [[Superman Museum]] for Benita's plan to trap Superman's soul. Tala believes that she already has the souls of Benita and the thief and that soon she will have those of Pete Ross and Superman (who is vulnerable to magic because of his guilt over failing Jon and Pete).

But while the Phantom Stranger and Tala engage in a primal battle, Superman has a change of heart and goes to Nyrvn to retrieve Jon, saying to him, "maybe you'll come '''back''' to Nyrvn '''someday''', to become that '''great hero''' the Legionnaires say you're destined to be." Once Jon is reunited with his father, Tala's "hold on Superman is broken -- and with it her hold over" the others as well.

Tala then vanishes, leaving the Phantom Stranger with the parting threat, "it is your doom to place yourself between me and these poor, pitiable mortal fools, and one day they shall disappoint you and on that day you are mine!" The Phantom Stranger calmly responds, "no, Queen of Darkness that day shall never dawn" (DCCP No. 25: "Judgment Night").

The DNA Project

'''The DNA Project'''

A highly technical secret research project involving the manipulation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The offspring of the original [[Newsboy Legion]] are discovered by [[Jimmy Olsen]] and [[Superman]] to have a link to the DNA Project because it employs their fathers (now biological scientists). Among many shocking experiments, the project is responsible for the cloning of the original Guardian (Jim Harper) as the [[Golden Guardian]], the cloning of [[Morgan Edge]] as [[Morgan Edge II]], and the creation of the [[Hairies]] and of the [[DNAliens]], including [[Dubbilex]]. The Newsboy Legion and the Golden Guardian share many adventures with Jimmy Olsen as well as encountering the weird creations of the DNA Project and being intertwined in the doings of [[Intergang]] and [[Darkseid]] (early appearances include SPJO No. 133, Oct 1970: "[Jimmy Olsen, Superman's 'Ex' Pal...Brings Back] The Newsboy Legion!"; SPJO No. 135, Jan 1971: "Evil Factory!").

X-Plam

'''X-Plam'''

A kindly, warm-hearted man from the mid-twenty-fourth century A.D. who journeys to the twentieth century via â€œtime machineâ€ and persuades [[Lois Lane]] to marry him, firstly by showing her a future edition of the ''[[Daily Planet]]'', an historical document in X-Plamâ€™s own eraâ€”in which their marriage is announced, and secondly by suggesting that she might be happier married to him than waiting interminably for [[Superman]]. Lois Lane marries X-Plam and flies off into the future with him, out of a desire to spite Superman and to prove to herself that she can be happy without him, but when X-Plam sees how truly wretched she is in a life without Superman, he willingly sacrifices his life to return her to her own era by fatally overexposing himself to the â€œradioactive fuel that powers [his] time machineâ€ (S No. 136/1, Apr 1960: â€œThe Man Who Married Lois Lane!â€). (TGSB)

Princess Jena

'''Princess Jena'''

The beautiful blond daughter of the king and queen of [[Adoria]], a "distant planet" inhabited by strong [[Amazons|Amazon]] women and timid diminutive men, who, in July 1960, lures [[Superman]] into a [[kryptonite]] trap, kidnaps him to Adoria, and blackmails him into marriage by threatening to obliterate Earth with an awesome "destructo-ray" if he refuses. Princess Jena has the marriage annulled soon afterward, however, after Superman, through a ruse, has persuaded her that he is an "uncouth boor" unfit to be married to an Adorian princess (Act No. 266: "The Captive of the Amazons"). (TGSB)

Didn't Xan become a new [[Composite Superman]] somewhere in the last few years of World's Finest? [[User:Luis Dantas|Luis Dantas]]
