 The Super-Rivals! 
*1st Appearance LESLA-LAR

Lois Lane and Lana Lang are out seeing the Hall of Heroes in Metropolis. As usual the two women begin talking about their failed attempts to get Superman to marry one or the other. Looking at the statues, the two women marvel about how they wouldn't have to wait around for Superman if heroes such as Hercules and Samson existed in their own time. Little do they know that Superman has been watching them with his x-ray vision and has decided to grant the women their wishes so that they can have some sort of happiness.

Traveling through the time barrier, Superman travels to ancient Greece where he happens upon Hercules in a tug of war in an arena. Because Hercules has no memory of their previous encounter, the legendary strong man is surprised when Superman arrives and snatches him out of his own time. He then travels to the era of Samson and brings him to the present as well. Using a device to teach them how to speak English. The Man of Steel tells the two strong men of the past why he has brought them to the future, and the two agree to be matched up with prospective wives.

Introducing the two men to Lois and Lana finds the women complete cowed by the strong men's super-feats and the quartet agree to marry each other, Lois agreeing to marry Hercules while Lana picks Samson. The two couples thank Superman for his match making and quickly go to the Justice of the Peace to get legally married, and the two men are quickly gainfully employed in commercials and movie deals.
