1.1 - Superman aka The Mad Scientist
MAN 1:
Up in the sky. Look.
WOMAN: It's a bird.
MAN 2: It's a plane.
MAN 3:
It's Superman.
NARRATOR:
In the endless reaches of the universe...
...there once existed a planet
known as Krypton.
A planet that b*rned like a green star
in the distant heavens.
Their civilization was far advanced,
and it brought forth a race of supermen...
...whose mental and physical powers
were developed...
...to the absolute peak
of human perfection.
But there came a day when giant quakes
threatened to destroy Krypton forever.
One of the planet's leading scientists,
sensing the approach of doom...
...placed his infant sun
in a small rocket ship...
...and sent it hurtling in the direction
of the Earth just as Krypton exploded.
The rocket ship sped through
star-studded space...
...landing safely on Earth
with its precious burden...
...Krypton's sole survivor.
A passing motorist found the uninjured child
and took it to an orphanage.
As the years went by,
and the child grew to maturity...
...he found himself possessed
of amazing physical powers.
Faster than a speeding b*llet.
More powerful than a locomotive.
Able to leap tall buildings
at a single bound.
The infant of Krypton is now
the Man of Steel...
...Superman.
To best be in a position
to use his amazing powers...
...in a never-ending battle
for true justice...
...Superman has assumed disguise
of Clark Kent...
...mild-mannered reporter
for a great metropolitan newspaper.
PERRY: Kent. I wanna see you.
Just received another threatening note.
CLARK:
Okay. Mr. White.
Lois: another note from the Mad Scientist.
LOIS:
Coming in, chief.
Now. listen to this warning.
He plans to strike tonight.
[PERRY READING LETTER]
This nut may prove dangerous.
Kent, you help Lois follow up her lead.
- She may have an angle on this thing.
- Yes. sir.
But, chief, I'd like the chance
to cr*ck the story on my own.
- Well, now--
LOIS: Thanks, chief.
But, Lois...
Chief, don't you think
that's a dangerous mission?
[CLOCK CHIMING]

MAD SCIENTIST:
So you want a story?
I'll give you the greatest
story of destruction...
...the world has ever known.
[WHIRRING]
How is that for a story. Miss Lane?
[MAD SCIENTIST LAUGHS]
MAN [ON RADIO]: Flash. True to his thr*at,
the Mad Scientist...
...whose warnings have held the city
in a grip of terror...
...went on his rampage of destruction
on the stroke of midnight.
The deadly impact of his mysterious ray
smashed the famous Tower Bridge...
...hurling cars and pedestrians
into the river below.
The police have warned everyone
to remain in their homes.
This looks like a job for Superman.
It's Superman.
I don't believe it. He isn't human.
Congratulations. Lois.
that was a great scoop.
Yes, chief, thanks to Superman.

WILSON: Hello, Daily Planet?
This is Dr. Wilson
of the Egyptian Museum.
I've just uncovered something
that may free Miss Hogan.
Yes. doctor. I've been feeling much
better lately. but I'll be right over.
I'll see you later. Lois.
doctor's orders.
Doctor, my eye.
Dr. Jordan was the world's foremost
student of hieroglyphics.
Most oi our priceless specimens
were brought back by him...
...even the mummy of King Tush.
Among his possessions. I uncovered
this ancient Egyptian tablet...
...and find it to be a secret curse
of the tomb of King Tush.
“He who disturbs the eternal sleep
of King Tush shall perish.“
This tablet may well be Miss Hogan's
passport to freedom.
Come with me. please.
Over 3000 years ago,
the valley of the Upper Nile...
...was ruled by an old and powerful king.
He had been walling with
the Lower Nile for many years...
...and just before the old king d*ed,
he called his son to him...
...a young boy of 12.
He commanded his giant guards to
swear an oath of eternal allegiance...
...to the boy prince. to guard him
constantly in this world and the next.
Shortly after, the old king d*ed.
The youth of 12 now ruled
a kingdom of 10 million people.
But the boy was not fashioned
And being of a sickly nature,
soon became ill himself.
Never was a person attended
more faithfully than this youth.
Yet he withered away and soon d*ed.
True to their oath of allegiance,
each of the royal guards drank poison...
...so that they might continue to
protect the spirit of the young king...
...in the Valley of the Dead.
Here in these catacombs, Dr. Jordan
has reconstructed the burial vault...
...exactly as he first discovered it
in one of the pyramids.
Working for years in
absolute and frenzied secrecy...
...he finally duplicated
an ancient, mystic formula...
...which he called the Fluid of Life.
Just before he was found dead...
...Dr. Jordan had inoculated each of
the mummies of the giant guards.
They were supposed to return to life,
but somehow the test failed.
Dr. Jordan was found here
at the feet of King Tush.
The lest you know.
But what you don't know. Mr. Kent...
...and what I'm equally certain of. is that
Dr. Jordan violated the ancient warning...
...by attempting to open
the coffin of King Tush.
A poisonous needle.
That's how Dr. Jordan was k*lled.

Their civilization was far advanced,
and it brought forth a race of supermen...

A passing motorist found the uninjured child
and took it to an orphanage.
As the years went by
and the child grew to maturity...

of amazing physical powers.
Faster than a speeding b*llet.
More powerful than a locomotive.
Able to leap tall buildings
