Is there any way I can bust loose from this hombre-- Or will he stick me in the pokey till I'm ready fer Boot Hill? Only one way to find out, folks-- Tune in tomorrow night at nine-- Same Terra-time... Same Terra-channel! 
It's a death-scene-- Fer you, Superman! Watch close, folks! He kin only die once! But don't fret, ladies an' gents-- I wouldn't let your hero bite the dust without a grave under him-- So I used six-gun magic to give Metropolis its own "Boot Hill"! It jest needs one more touch-- And here it comes now, thanks to my flyin' horse, Nova! I fixed this marker up ahead of time, friends-- 'Cause I knew how the show would come out! After all, I wrote the script!
It sure has been a while since I pulled off a good ol' fashioned hold-up... And an air-eo-plane's a heckuva lot tougher on a body to rob than a stagecoach! Yippee! I ain't had so much fun in years!
Behind these walls, it is hard to believe this is the 20th Century! Inadequate heating... Crude plumbing... Unsanitary living conditions everywhere I look! These men are treated more like animals than humans... Like so many head of cattle! No wonder prisons have such little success with rehabilitation! Teen-agers are sent up here for minor offenses-- Exposed to the bad influence of brutal, hardened criminals! What kind of civilized laws allow this? If that's the law, I'll stick to crime!
Terra-Man, that's me! The name means I was born here on Earth! I'm not a leftover from some other dead planet like you, Superman! I know all about you-- How you've become this world's number-one hero! But that's all over now! There ain't enough room on this planet for the both of us! Gotta admit, though, you're harder to kill than I figured! Lookit this! A spur made out of Zanoite-- The hardest substance in this here galaxy! I can change it into any shape I want-- Just by concentrating on it real hard! --And I'm thinkin' 'bout a bullet! I don't care how super you are-- When this thing hits you-- You're D.E.A.D....! I'm gonna shoot a hole clear through your red S!
Yuh hit it right on the head, hombre! We're on earth-- leastways one of 'em! 'ceptin' here, yore super-powers ain't gonna do yuh no good! way I reckon it, yore powers is based on science-- --an' thet's a word they ain't never even heard of 'round these parts! See? Pow! Pow!
