DC Comics 1976 Superman Parasite's Prism of Peril in Very Good condition, see photos. In DC Comics' Superman #304 (October 1976), titled "The Parasite's Prism of Peril!", legendary writer Gerry Conway teamed up with penciler Curt Swan and inker Bob Oksner to showcase a deadly dynamic featuring one of the Man of Steel’s most dangerous foes. Rather than engaging in a standard power-draining brawl, Raymond Maxwell Jensen—the Parasite—deploys a alien power-prism to siphon Superman's abilities and channel them into innocent bystanders, effectively turning bystanders like S.T.A.R. Labs scientist Dr. Jenet Klyburn into unwitting, super-powered proxies. Forced to battle surrogates endowed with his own massive strength, Superman must navigate the moral crisis of defending Metropolis without harming mind-controlled civilians. The issue stands out in Bronze Age lore for highlighting Superman’s tactical problem-solving and restraint, demonstrating that the Parasite’s true danger lies not just in absorbing strength, but in weaponizing it against the hero's protective instincts.
