A volcano nearly destroys a village in Mexico, but Superman saves the village. However that same volcano also spawned a strange race of Lava Men. The Pacific volcanic island of Malaba, is the only active volcano in the world that erupts every three hours and ten minutes. Kolbar used this island as his hideout. Marvin White, Wendy Harris, Wonder Dog and Director Wimple thought there may have been a volcano when Superman landed on the roof of the Seismological Bureau building just a little too hard. The Lava Men caused the Ocean City Volcano to erupt when they ascended to the surface.
