[su-] Superman is in [1] front of the [-o] office building fighting a 百 hundred 亻 Slendermen that are all tall as the building, crushing the cars in the parking lot. He flies around them, tying them all up with some 糸 silk, and then uses his special powers 縮 to shrink the 百 hundred 亻 Slendermen to the size of a bunch of dolls. Finally he sticks them into a special 宀 dollhouse that is by the entrance of the office building, sealing them away.
