Dirk Folgar

A “foreign reporter,” ostensibly a correspondent for Europe’s World News Press, who is in reality Agent X-3, a member of a “secret spy ring” plotting the assassination of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The capture of Folgar and his cohorts by U.S. Secret Service men in September 1959 comes as the culmination of an elaborate ruse—devised by Superman with the cooperation of the Secret Service and other governmental authorities—in which Superman poses as the Superman of the year 100,000 AD, the so-called Ultra-Superman, in order to force the would.be assassins into the open and thwart the impending assassination (Act No. 256: “The Superman of the Future!”) (TGSB).
