Super-Love with SUPERGIRL "Supergirl's Jilted Boy Friends" Conclusion

...evil android Brainiac plans to defeat Supergirl by making her fall in love with a robot imbued with the lady-killer charm and persona of famed space criminal Kimor!
Pretending to be Kimberly O'Ryan, a transfer student to Stanhope University, the robot meets Linda Danvers (whom Brainiac thinks is just a close friend of Supergirl), seduces her, then treats her like dirt!
When Kara meets Kim as Supergirl, he treats her as badly as he treated her Linda alter-ego!
Brainiac puts the final part of his plan into operation, forcing the robot to destroy itself in front of her, leading Kara to believe her actions forced the apparent "suicide".
But the plan goes awry...
Note the ad for Jerry Lewis meeting Wonder Woman, who was already de-powered by writer/editor/artist Mike Sekowsky...who was soon to take over the Supergirl series in Adventure Comics!and de-power her!
(You can read the never-reprinted team-up between Amazon and idiot HERE!)
You'll see how Sekowsky handles a Supergirl love story on two weeks!
It sure ain't like this!
Trivia: This was the only two-part Supergirl story in Adventure that appeared as the cover feature both times!
Supergirl would not meet Brainiac again in pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths continuity, though she has battled him since!

Super-Love with SUPERGIRL "Supergirl's Jilted Boy Friends" Part 1


...Brainac, seeking vengeance on Supergirl (as a prelude to attacking Superman) frees a dashing, lady-killer criminal from an intergalactic prison, duplicates his physical appearance on a robot and programs it with the criminal's brain patterns.
He then...disposes (remember this is the Silver Age)...of the criminal and sends the robot to seduce the Girl of Steel...
...actually, the synopsis is conveniently-provided on pages 3 & 4!
Now that's a side of the Girl of Steel we haven't previously seen!
Is Kim doomed?
Will Supergirl prove the adage about "a woman scorned" correct?
And what of Brainiac?
The answers to these, and other questions will be provided...
when Brainiac and Kimor learn that payback's a super-bitch!

Super-Love with SUPERGIRL "Romance Machine" Conclusion

...evil android Brainiac plans to defeat Supergirl by making her fall in love with a robot imbued with the lady-killer charm and persona of famed space criminal Kimor!
Pretending to be Kimberly O'Ryan, a transfer student to Stanhope University, the robot meets Linda Danvers, whom Brainiac thinks is just a close friend to Supergirl!
(The cover copy is misleading, indicating Brainiac and Kimor know Linda is Supergirl!)
Actually, you lucky readers only have to wait until

Super-Love with SUPERGIRL "Romance Machine" Part 1

It's not  just another story of Kara Zor-El's severely-screwed up romantic life...
...though it sure seems like it is, at the beginning!
Isn't it weird villains never try to pull a similar plot with Superman?
Though there's no footnote, Supergirl beat Brainiac in DC's Action Comics #339 (1966)!
Amazing how an android can carry a grudge.for years until DC's Adventure Comics #388 (1970)!
Is Brainiac right?
Can the Girl of Steel be manipulated like a puppet by a good-looking guy?
