Two of these comic book plots are real. One is fake. Which is the fake?
1) Spider Man and Jonah Jamison are both captured by a mad scientist with a grudge against them both. They are shackled together with an explosive device set to go off in 24 hours. The bomb will also go off if the shackles are broken or removed. Spidey contacts Curt Conners, but neither he nor a police Bomb Squad guy can figure out how to safely detach the shackles. More time is lost when Spidey/Jonah are attacked by a super villain, but Spidey eventually figures out that there is a remote power source to the shackles back at the mad scientist's lair. Freezing the power source with liquid oxygen allows Spidey to snap the shackles off without detonating the device.
2) Superman and Green Lantern are working together to evacuate a small colony of alien settlers from a planet before the sun goes nova. G.L. gets the settlers away, but the exploding sun catches Superman and tosses him into another dimension. This dimension is made up entirely of red suns, so Superman is trapped on a small planet without his powers. He is befriended by a native farmer of the planet and is soon using his own knowledge of farming to help his new friend get a better crop. He starts thinking that, though he misses his home, he can make a good life here helping people--it doesn't matter that he's lost his powers as long as he can still do good. Meanwhile, G.L. has enlisted a STAR labs scientist to track Superman down. Opening a dimensional doorway with his ring, he brings Superman home. Superman is indeed happy to be home, but lets out a soft sigh of regret when he thinks about the new friends he left behind in the other dimension.
3) Ant Man and the Wasp are on vacation in the Greek islands when they are attacked by a giant Cyclops. Soon, it turns out that the Cyclops is a robot being used by invading aliens to gain a foothold on Earth. The Cyclops at first seems to powerful for the two tiny heroes to handle, but Ant Man soon gets the better of it by getting inside it, then reprogramming it to turn on its alien masters. The aliens are chased off Earth in ignoble defeat.
