This was the original title for the original
Superman story, written by
Jerry Seigel and illustrated by
Joe Shuster in
1933. In this story, a bald mad scientist who looked a lot like
Lex Luthor gave this normal guy
super powers, and the normal guy turned around and became a
villian. Needless to say it didn't go over too well. Later that same year they came up with the idea of making Supes a good guy, and the rest is history.
