    1. The Boy From Mars!: (Superboy, Marsboy / written by William Woolfolk) some years ago a boy on Mars was exposed to radiation from an asteroid, giving him powers similar to Superboy. like Clark, he created a secret identity for himself and used his powers for good, calling himself Marsboy. one day he is summoned by some scientists who tell him they discovered their people were originally from earth but fled to Mars when they thought Earth was doomed. now they need something from Earth to save Mars and the one thing that might stop them is Superboy. arriving on Earth Marsboy throws the Sphinx into orbit but Superboy sees this and puts it back. after testing Superboy's powers Marsboy flies away but then goes to Smallville where he creates the identity of Joe Mars so he can enroll At Smallville High and learn about Superboy. in the end Marsboy explains that there is a formula for creating water inside the Sphinx but he can't see it because his x-ray vision can see through lead but not copper so Superboy reads him the formula and they part as friends.
