POWER OF THE PARASITE! / THE SUPERGIRL IDENTITY HUNT! Exposed to radioactive waste, lab worker Jensen becomes the Parasite, who has the ability to absorb energy from all living beings, including Superman. The Fact Finder, a professional blackmailer, has deduced that Supergirl was once associated with the Midvale Orphanago, and he uses the opportunity of a reunion there to try and figure out her secret identity.

Key Facts

Like Batman 181, this copy has a centerfold newsprint pin-up that is often missing, so when buying a raw copy remember to double-check for it or ask the seller if it is intact
