It appeared in issue #3 of the fanzine, with accompanying artwork by Shuster. Inspired by the spread of the term "superman" in popular culture of their time and thus indirectly inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche's idea of a super-human (the Übermensch), it featured a meek man transformed into a powerful villain bent on dominating the world. Siegel wrote "The Reign of the Superman" in 1932.
