Clark Kent attempted to blast Masterson with his heat vision and managed to disarm him but a piece of costumed jewelry made from meteor rock flies across the room.
One beam hits Masterson's hand and he dropped his gun but another blast hits the meteor rock jewelry and bounces back into Clark's face, blinding him.
