* Bob Rickman has the power of persuasion - for real. His handshake can make a person do anything, then forget about it afterward. Bent on building a pesticide plant in Smallville, his touch convinces Jonathan Kent to sell his farm. Only one person knows Rickman's secret - hermit Kyle Tippitt, his former partner. To eliminate this threat, Rickman persuades Whitney to attack Tippett. But Clark saves the hermit and discovers the truth - they both have persuasive powers. *Source: Back of card.
