What you may not know is that those alien athletes indecently assaulted Lana Lang after Superman beat them, so Zatanna mindwiped them. They're coming back in next year's crossover where their master plan for revenge is to pull everybody's arms off.

What's the deal with that issue anyway? Is he on a planet orbiting a red star? Did someone shiv him before the competition? Did he not get a good night's sleep?

They pretty much had to since they decided to call it the anonymous "Action Comics".

Their jobs would be easier if they had called it "Super Superman Comics featuring Superman Action".

There's a story about the end of that series which I enjoy: owing to publishing delays, the last issue of Countdown to Infinte Crisis came out first; obviously, that series ends with Max Lord revealing that he was evil all along and shooting Blue Beetle in the head, so Kevin Maguire went back and redrew the last pages of I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League so it ended with Max and Ted sharing a friendly chuckle.

Didn't one of those series also have a running gag about everyone thinking Sue Dibny was pregnant, then the issues in question ended up coming out after Identity Crisis?

There was also a one-off line where Sue suggests inviting Dr. Light to the baby shower (I think). Obviously she was talking about good, female Dr. Light, but still.

The contest organizers were using the grand prize to sap Superman's Super Energy away every time he did a Super feat so he couldn't use his powers to the fullest extent.

I did that to remove the context and just make it worse. It's bad enough, of course, ("Shut up, woman!") but the context gives it more of a bad joke and less of a horrifying menace.

Red Panzer: Okay my plan is... try and follow me on this one, guys.... we catch Wonder Woman right, get her chained up in a small room, got it? Yeah okay, then once we've got her captured and chained up in this small room, we move into the control room next door and fire a very small missile at her. Also we don't chain her legs and give her plenty of room to move, also if the missile misses her it'll destroy the wall she is chained to. We all good to go on this one?

The more intriguing way is the tactic she uses to get out of the situation. Thankfully, the chains were not as sturdy in-comic.
