Plot Synopsis

The narrative takes place during Clark Kent's college years at Shuster University. His longtime adversary, Lex Luthor, manages to steal a high-tech freezing machine directly from the campus. Luthor uses the advanced device to construct a deadly, rampaging frost monster to terrorize the area. When Superboy steps in to stop the creature, the artificial, extreme cold severely disrupts his powers—causing his heat vision to malfunction and spin wildly out of control.
