I don't recall the business about the space warp, though, but then, I've never been *that* strong a follower of Superman in the comics. As for the "Red" K in SUPERMAN III, well, it *acted* like Red K, but it sure didn't *look* red. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC Maynard) UUCP: (decvax!decwrl!rhea!akov68!boyajian) ARPA: (decwrl!rhea!akov68!boyajian@Shasta)
