No, I’m older, 1948. Superman played a vagrant hauled into court where Toplik was judge and demanded his name. “Kilpot Xyxam!” Toplik replied, “Very well, Mr. Kilpot Xyxam, I hereby sentence you to thirty days and....suddenly I have the strangest feeling!”

Soup shows his caped costume & the rapidly disappearing Toplik vows, “You got me this time, Superman, but I’ll be back!”

That should be “Zyxam”. It’s been fifty years......

funny....you always knew Soup was going to send the little perp back, but you read for the solution. the one you mentioned I probably read in the day....heck I read them all(superman and action comics)...plus Detective Comics, and Blackhawk. this was all in the pre-Marvel college craze days. I read some of those Marvels in college....it was a thing to do(though I will always be a DC fan first)....I mean..”the Silver Surfer”, what the heck was that?

then in 1994, Alcubierre proposed a method for changing the geometry of space by creating a wave which would cause the fabric of space ahead of a spacecraft to contract, and the space behind it to expand. The ship would then ride this wave inside a region of flat space known as a warp bubble, and would not move within this bubble, but instead be carried along as the region itself moves due to the actions of the drive. So Jack Kirby was ahead of his time..
