Synopsis for Superman: ”The Conspiracy Of The Crime-Lords!”
Lex Luthor calls three of the universe’s worst villains together at the secret Anti-Superman Fortress. The four deadliest foes of Superman sue for peace, and convince him that his recent visit to the Phantom Planet is creating phantom doubles of himself, which then destroy places he has recently been. To protect Earth, which the villains still value as a prize, they ask him to team up with them to defeat the super-phantoms, and Superman agrees.
