Synopsis:
The Prankster, in the business of creating distractions for other criminals, starts his day with a new client, Nitro G. He wants Prankster's sticky guns and threatens Prankster until he agrees. Prankster doesn't want people hurt, he's in this for the artistry. He sets up Nitro G, getting him covered in nitro and dynamite and arranging for Superman to rescue him. But by pulling Nitro G's fuse, Superman triggers the bomb, and has to fly him off to disarm it. Superman returns with Nitro G stripped down to his underwear, suitably embarrassed. The Prankster has made his point to not mess with him.
