Mitsuo came across Superman, an alien belonging to a federation dedicated to maintaining peace throughout the galaxy. He was given a helmet that also functions as a mask, granting superhuman strength; a cape enabling flight; and a badge that allows underwater breathing and communication with fellow comrades he soon encountered after using these items. Superman made it clear to all Permans that their identities must remain secret, or their brains would be destroyed if ever revealed, and each was provided with a special doppelgänger robot that can replace them while they are away to accomplish this, though it is not entirely reliable nor without potential issues. These tools allowed them to become young Permans striving to keep the peace and assist those in need.
