Parasite Smallville
Boldman and Schaffenberger sap Superman’s self-esteem in Action 578 (April 1986). Superman attends a charity function, and meets a drifter, Joe Blohe. Their meeting is brief and undramatic, they shake hands, nothing more. But it spells disaster for Superman. Immediately afterwards, Superman finds that people have become nasty, critical, and openly insulting towards him. It happens to him both as Superman, and as Clark. At the same time, Joe is becoming outrageously popular.
Lana Lang ignores Superman completely, and wants to put Joe on television. It takes a while, but Superman finally figures out who Blohe is, and exposes him on live tv. He is the Parasite, in disguise, who has used his leeching powers to steal Superman’s popularity, and self-esteem.
Even with his identity revealed, the crowd is still on his side. The Parasite makes the most of this, but now that Superman knows exactly what has happened, he knows how to overcome it. By focussing on the love and support he had been given by his parents, Superman’s confidence is restored, and the Parasite gets defeated. The Parasite sort of slips through the Crisis net, and returns in a year or so to fight Firestorm. Action 555 (May 1984) sure looks like a story between Superman and Supergirl, with the Parasite being involved to a lesser degree. That’s what the cover implies.
But it is not in any way what Kupperberg, Swan and Hunt deliver. The Parasite does return, and can still track Superman as Clark Kent. The Parasite drains his energy and they fight and fight. Parasite traps Superman to use him as a battery, but Superman breaks free and gets the best of the monster. And all the while one keeps waiting for Supergirl to show up. She finally does, at the very end. She does have a brief cameo earlier in the story, I will admit that.
And the Parasite story, and the Superman/Supergirl team-up does continue into the following issue of Supergirl. This is a perfect example of the kind of covers I hate, that completely misrepresent a story, and really ought to be the cover for the next chapter of the tale. Action 500 (Oct. 79) is an oversize special, which does a good job of providing a fairly comprehensive story of Superman. Bates, Swan and Chiaramonte choose a big public tour of a new Superman pavilion as the framing device for the tale. The various rooms give focus to different parts of the story. There is also a machine at the exposition which draws out Superman’s memories, so that people can enjoy his grief as he recalls Jor-El and Lara, and his early life on Krypton.
But a mystery villain is making use of the device, channeling the memories into a Superman duplicate he is creating. The creation of the Phantom Zone is referenced, as well as Krypto on a test rocket. The Kents are shown, finding the boy and raising him, both through his Superbaby phase, and later Superboy. The story often uses exact swipes of scenes and images from earlier stories. The death of Pa Kent duplicates the first telling of the event. As does the farewell message from the people of Smallville.
Clark Kent’s life in Metropolis is shown, getting the job from Perry White at the Daily Planet, and working with Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen. Morgan Edge’s takeover is related, with Steve Lombard making an appearance. Supergirl gets her own room in the pavilion, and a montage of her career. Other aspects are really downplayed. The Legion of Super-Heroes appear, in their current line-up, in the Superboy room, but are not talked about. Still, Lori Lemaris does make it into the triptych of his loves, along with Lois and Lana. The villain room is the most notable – for its absences.
Aside from Luthor and Brainiac, only the Toyman and Parasite are shown. Brainiac has his story told in depth, as it relates to Kandor. 
Parasite Dc Comics
The mystery villain turns out to be Lex Luthor, which is not that much of a surprise. And the duplicate gives himself away when he relates Luthor’s origin from Luthor’s own, very slanted, view. As a story, this leaves something to be desired. But as a Superman compendium, it works. Jim Shooter and Al Plastino bring back the Parasite in Action 361 (March 1968). An alien geographer exploring the Earth finds an unusual cloud, which registers as a life-form. He brings it aboard his ship, and concentrates it, which restores the Parasite back to life.
