| Supergirl Annual #2 | part of DC's 1997 "Pulp Heroes" themed annuals; no data entered | 0 |
In 1997, the Superman titles began a year-long storyline. Beginning in
February, Superman began experiencing problems with his powers -- a conventional plot element.
This time, however, his new electrical powers had to be contained in a suit -- in other words,
a new uniform -- and they would not go away: Superman #123 introduced the new Superman
of electrical powers and a blue outfit.
