   take the man to a nearby shelter when they see a craft
   manned by marauders from the future who have sapped
   Superman's powers. Justin leads him through the sewers.
   Evidently Superman also suffers from paranoia and turns on
   Justin who has found refuge for him in the Superman museum.
   Justin is saved from the fellow by the real Superman who
   reveals that the man is an escaped mental patient and the
   marauders were doctors. His mania is believing he is a
