Any other theories?
Geppetto awaking in the middle of the night then staggering to his bench grabbed a metal stamp and whacked the 3 into the under side of the chamber flats not realizing what he was doing . Afterward Superman was called to the scene to get the 3 removed but being like kryptonite he couldn’t do a thing .
