Adventures of Superman #517

Synopsis

Superman Triangle 43 of 1994. Emil Hamilton confirms to Superman, Lois Lane, and Jimmy Olsen that the corpse found in Centennial Park is, in fact, a genetic match for Superman. When asked to prove his identity, the living Superman rushes off to deal with some crises that arise. S.T.A.R. Labs contracts Carl Draper to create a prison for Conduit, to prevent his escape. While working on Conduit’s prison, Draper is also challenged to create a prison for Superman. Draper creates the hologram identity of Deathtrap, and “traps” superman within an energy envelope created by a hovering probe. Deathtrap is convinced the “real” Superman could escape. Superman does indeed escape, using a furnace to melt the hovering probe. All the while, Superman’s patience is tested by people second guessing of he is the real Superman.
