| − | A “fanatic scientist†of [[Kandor]], â€the only surviving city of lost [[Krypton]]â€, who constructs a gigantic “enlarging-ray projector†to accomplish the long-hoped-for enlargement of the city, unaware that his enlarging apparatus contains a “fatal drawback†that will “bring doomsday†to the entire city and its populace by weakening the bonds between the city’s atoms and causing it to disintegrate completely after only three hours’ time.

| − | Aware of the fatal danger inherent in Than Ol’s enlarging process but helpless to prevent the head strong Kandorians, who have become convinced that [[Superman]]’s opposition to their plan stems only from petty personal jealousy, from using the flawed ray projector to enlarge their tiny city, Superman barely succeeds, with the aid of [[Jimmy Olsen]], [[Nor-Kan]], [[Van-Zee]] and the [[Superman Emergency Squad]] in reducing the city back to its former Lilliputian size with the aid of a “shrinking ray†confiscated from [[Brainiac]] just as the three-hour time limit elapses and the city’s buildings begin to disintegrate and collapse, just as Superman had warned.

| − | “… I vow that I’ll never cease trying to find a safe way to make you normal!†announces Superman to the now-remorseful Than Ol and his fellow Kandorians, I promise that some day Kandor will become big again, and will stay so forever!†(S No. 158, Jan 1963: “Superman in Kandor†pts: I-III: “Invasion of the Mystery Super-Men!â€; “The Dynamic Duo of Kandor!â€; “The City of Super-People!â€). Superman and Jimmy Olsen adopt their alternate Kandorian identities of [[Nightwing]] and [[Flamebird]] for the very first time during the course of this adventure.
