Ultimately, Superman was able to resolve the crisis and help in the capture of Coram along with his criminal associates. (Action Comics v1 #440)

This version of Inspector Henderson was an African-American police detective for the Metropolis Police Force. As such, he must endure the typical racism of the era such as when the Lee family thought he was an intruder on their property after it was subject to a Ku Klux Klan attack. He himself was directly targeted by the Klan, including being taken prisoner by them along with Perry White and Lois Lane. Eventually, Henderson was the one who defeated and arrested a corrupt police officer who was assisting the Klan in a mass terrorist attack on a children's baseball game.
