* AWizardDidIt: In issue #330, Superman questions the absurdness of hiding his secret identity behind a pair of glasses. He finds out that because the lenses are made from plexiglass from the rocket that brought him to Earth, they've been amplifying his super-hypnotism to create a sort of Perception Filter that makes everybody see Clark Kent as a lot frailer than he actually is.

However, in the 80's, falling sales through the line prompted DC to reboot their universe in general, and Superman in particular. Then-hot artist Creator/JohnByrne, who had just left [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel]], was put at the helm of [[ComicBook/TheManOfSteel a reboot]] set after ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', which would wipe out many features which had become classic staples of the ''Superman'' mythos: characters like ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} and Krypto, Superman's connection with the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes and his own homeworld Krypton itself, classic concepts like the Fortress of Solitude, the Phantom Zone or the Bottle-City of Kandor. In order to better exploit Byrne's star power, DC Comics gave him a new title with a shiny number #1, launching ''[[ComicBook/Superman1987 Superman (1987)]]'' -or ''Superman (Volume 2)''-, and renaming Clark Kent's original solo series to ''Adventures of Superman'', starting with issue #424 (September, 1986).
