In a story that predates the Zha-Vam series, Superman again fights Atlas. Or does he?
ACTION COMICS, June 1948. Art by Wayne Boring.
This "Atlas" turns out to be a fake. Actually there is a rational explanation for the feats of Atlas in this story - they're accomplished by technological devices - so to that extent it can be said to be "scientifically accurate".*
*Superman's powers belong to the realm of fantasy, but so do the abilities of anthropomorphic ducks in comics to talk and do a number of other things. No work of fantasy involving elements of the impossible can be completely accurate according to the laws of science, despite claims to the contrary.
