From page #80:
SUPERMAN'S VOICE
Let the woman go!
SUPERMAN
reflexively taking the time-honored stance, hands on hips, standing dramatically.
Only no costume.
No powers.
The two thugs turn and laugh at this strange Kandorian.
KANDORIAN
Go! Before we sever your limbs.
Superman moves closer. Lyla looks intently at Superman.
SUPERMAN
(means it)
I said let her go!
The Slubber wobbles toward Superman.
CLOSE ON SUPERMAN and, as if by instinct, he lets loose with a long puff of breath...but this is far from "super-breath."
THE SLUBBER, puzzled, shrugs. Then imitates Superman.
Puffs out breath of his own.
The the Slubber grabs Superman with awesome strength, slamming him against a wall like a rag doll.
Superman tries to struggle free, but the Slubber is too strong...he holds Superman, as the Kandorian slugs him. Again. And again. Blood spurts.
Lyla tries to pull the Slubber back, but he slams her to the ground.
The Kandorian pulls out a COMPACT LASER WEAPON.
KANDORIAN
(sub-titles)
Hold out his arm.
He aims the device, but Superman manages to pivot the Slubber into the path of the laser.
