I had a comic book as a little girl that had a 24-page insert inside it of a mini-comic starring Superman. I remember the plot was that he encountered some kind of Kryptonite that frazzled his brain so he couldn't make calculations like how fast to fly, etc. So two little schoolkids got on their TRS-80 and did the calculations for him so he could go save out-of-control trains or whatever the catastrophes that required mathematical calculations were.

Of course, it was really just a 24-page advertisement for the TRS-80, but I remember it better than I do the comic book it came with.

Riot was probably thinking of the Commodore 64, which is the other one I remember from around that time, give or take.
