Clark recalls (in flashbacks) a handful of occasions when Lois had been close to discovering his secret identity but she'd refused to consider him worthy enough.

Clark's first day of school is punctuated by a number of minor super feats, in later years Lana can recall one of the incidents but cannot remember which boy it had been.

Lois's impulsive nature causes a rocket with her on board to be prematurely launched into space. To teach her a lesson, Superman contrives to make her think that she has arrived back on Earth 50 years in the future, however, it is Superman's turn to be taken aback when Superman Jr. comes along.

List of the Legion of Super-Heroes members.

Mxyzptlk arrives on Earth for the 1st time but is outsmarted by Superboy and sent back to his own dimension. He then vows to make the Boy of Steel's life a super misery.

While rescuing a bathyscaph from the ocean bottom where it rests next to a Red Kryptonite meteor, Superman remembers all the other times that Red Kryptonite has affected him.

The Legion returns to the 20th century to discredit Superboy, then exile him from Earth.

When Superman repairs Lois's make-up mirror, he becomes super-sensitized and develops a rainbow aura whenever she opens the case. He must then use his super-wits to prevent her from opening the locket.

Whilst toddler Clark is invulnerable, his clothes are not. By unravelling the blankets that he was wrapped in during his journey from Krypton to Earth, the Kents are able to create an indestructable suit.

Jimmy uses a magic totem to send Superman back to Krypton to see his parents once again. Fate intervenes and the Man of Steel helps to engineer his own parent's betrothal!
