"In 1969, during a period in which the iconic three-time heavyweight boxing
champion of the world had been stripped of his title and banned from fighting
owing to his refusal to respond to his Vietnam War draft notice, Ali starred on
Broadway in the musical Buck White. Billed by his birth name, Cassius Clay, he
played a militant black lecturer who addresses a meeting organized by a black
political group in Oscar Brown Jr.'s musical adaptation of Joseph Dolan
Tuotti's Off-Broadway play Big Time Buck White. "

"...the idea came from Julius Schwartz at DC comics, who thought that teaming
up the two would be a great idea. Everyone laughed at first, but the company’s
publisher decided to go forward with it. They contacted Ali and went through
lengthy negotiations to get approval to use his image.
Dennis O’Neil came up with the story and began work writing the issue, but
had to leave before it was finished. Adams took over, adapting O’Neil’s work
and completed the book. The issue featured an alien race named the Scrubb
demanding to fight Earth’s greatest champion. Muhammad Ali and Superman each
step forward to take up the challenge to save Earth. When Ali argues that
Superman isn’t a proper champion of Earth, the Scrubb leader, Rat’Lar, has them
fight one another on the planet Bodace (where Superman’s powers are negated)."
