SUPERBOY #95 - "THE SUPER-FAMILY FROM KRYPTON!" Hi, my name is Dr. Thinker. I'm a new review on the group, so please go easy on me. If any format issue appears, but the blame on Yahoo's form. SUPERBOY #95 - "The Super-Family From Krypton" WRITTER: Otto Binder? SUMMARY: As you know already is a old joke that only Jor-El and Laura went with Krypton. I bet you dollars to newspapers, Kal-E might have one time or another wonder what might have happen if his parents come with him. The cover to issue has a Laura, Jor-El and Kal-El buiding house as angry Smallville citizen looking on. They is two notes in yellow from writter: the top on tells us the story and it's a three-part imaginary novel telling us what might happen if Laura, Jor-El and Superbaby went to Earth together. The box on bottom has list of guest stars feature in: Lana Lang, Lori Lemaris, Lex Luthor, Perry White, The Phantom Zone Villains & introducing a "NEW Clark Kent". I bet you can't figure out a some-what shocking twist: The chapter listing page for his imaginary novel has picture of Jor- El saving a plane. Laura saving a female girl and her young boy from a fire. Superboy stopping some crooks. It's a bit of shock to read "Kal-El as Superboy", "Laura as Super-Woman", and "Jor-El as Superman". I let the Sliver Age scroll set the stage from what I'm assume to be Superboy writter, Otto Binder: "Did you ever wonder how different Superboy's life would be if his parents had been able to make the journey though space with him? If a Super-Family has escaped the doomed planet of Krypton and landed together on Earth? Why every tiny detail in the boy of steel's life would have been incredibly altered! Of course, it didn't happen, but it might have, and this is the sensational, some time happy, and sometimes sad story of THE SUPER-FAMILY FROM KRYPTON!" CHAPTER 1 - THE LANDING ON EARTH This story begans on the doomed planet of Krypton, as Jor-El is about to put Kal-El into his rocket ship when Laura comes rushing in- -telling him to wait. She had a "last mintune brainstorm!" has been working on a Enlarging Ray that works to large the rocket ship. Taking only a "Kryptonian televiewer", the family escape the doom planet of Krypton. Jor-El: Farewall to Krypton! Our world has ended, Laura! Our friends..the dearest places were know blow to dust! Laura: Yes..it is the end of life..but aslo the beginning..a new beginning for us, dear. It's turns out Jor-El land protected to land near Smallville. He aslo computed that yellow sun and the lower gravity with give the family Superman. He tells Laura, "We must learn to use them wisely". When the ship lands, Jor-El and Laura leave to put of a fire that they rocket caused. As they discover their super-powers, a familar couple enter the pictures, Martha and Jonathan Kent discover Kal-El. Jor-El and Laura shocks the Kents. Lucky, the Kents's hearts are not as weak as Mrs. Wayne's heart. Johathan promised Martha to adopt another boy. Jonathan allows Jor-El to stay until he gets a place of his own. Jor-El uses his hand to cut thought the Kent's firewood that makes Jonathan remarked "The things you can do sure make my eye pops!" (Holy Beetlejuice, Batman!) Martha had spotten some reports. One of the reporters is "Perry White" of the "Daily Planet". Jor-El tells him that they are peaceful and friendly, but Perry White doesn't buy it. Back in Metroplis, Perry tell his boss that he's very sure that the aliens are "up to no good". Jonathan tells that Jor-El that "people are bound to be a little suspicious of strangers..but this story goes too far! It's going to set folk against you!" Jonathan is right on the money, because that afternoon, people of the Smallville Town Council tell Jor-El "they don't want you". Jonathan gives Jor-El tells not to worry and gives them a strip of barren land and a card to give to a friend called Bill Evans. At the Evan Can Company, Bill is about to show Jor-El how to run a mechine, but Jor-El states that it's not "neccessary". He cuts the metal with his finger and well them into cup shape with his heat vision. For this work, Bill gives Jor-El a month's wages. Jor-El decides on using it to by gifts for Kents. (Holy Kal-El, Lois Lane!) Later, the family builds their hands with Kal-El smashing rocks to build a fireplace. Jor-El quicky flies to the Amazon river to get top soil for the barren land to transform into a farm. A week after their arrival on Earth, the farm has become huge amount to feed army of cattle and enough left over to give to the Kents. Meanwhile, Martha and Jonathan adopt a blonde hair boy and call him "Clark Kent". Clark and Kal-El become fast friends, but when other children want to play with Kal-El, their parents reject him. Kal-El wants to warn Earth clothing, but he learns what happen to Earth closing after trying to chase a eagle in them. Laura sings him Kryptonian songs, but Kal-El wants to hear "Rock-a-bye, baby". Laura tells him legends of Krypton--The one in this tale is about Bir-El flying up in iceburg jet to cold off a flame-spitting monster--but Kal-El want to hear about George Washington and the cherry tale. We learn that Jonathan is moving to the city and starting his general store business. Sad effects all three members of the Jor-El family--two becasue of Krypton, one because of Kent move. CHAPTER II - "THE NEW LIFE OF SUPERBOY!" We had a half-page introduce to this chapter. Showing blone haired Clark Kent in the hands of the flying Superboy over Smallville, with Kents looking on very happy. We start is chapter of this imaginary tale with Kal-El and Kypto playing. Kal-El takes off for Smallville. In the park, he gets rejected by a girl and a boy. For a while, Kal-El roams Smallville, until he discover a train trick--but he accidently wrecks a train. Kal-El spys a traffic light and takes what he thinks is a "toy" home. One citzen of Smallville compares the Super-Family to a volcano. The next morning, the Super-Family is suprize to see a rock through their window. They discover a very bad sign: "LEAVE EARTH, SUPER-FAMILY! WE DON'T WANT ALIENS in SMALLVILLE!" Jor-El states they "hate us" and their "sojourn on Earth is a failure!" After the angry mob leaves, Jor-El plots to look for another planet to life on--but then, they heard a boiler on a boat has exploded. Faster then a speeding bullet, they arrive and pick up the boat and get safely to shore in seconds. Suprizing two of peopl eon the boat are Prof. Lang and a young Lana Lang. Kal-El shows Lana how strong is. As time passed people from around the world come to see the amazing "Super-Family". To escape the crowds, Jor-El builds a real "private house" with "anti-gravity". Kal-El finally grows up to a "Superboy" and gets his costume from Jor-El. Now, recall the pictures from the chapter listing at the beging--well they are BACK! Showing now the Super-Family fighting crime and averting catastrophes! As Superboy grows, the family adopts earth customs more and more, even changing their names, and warning earth clothes. We see Parker and a follow cop remarked about them: Parker: There go Joe, Laura and Cal Ellton...a fine family! Police Officer: I'm sure glad they protect Smallville, Cheif Parker makes our job a cinch! In this imagary tale, Lex Luthor is greater admirer of Superboy then Lana Lang. We see old red-hair Lex getting autograph of Cal Ellton, while Cal wishes it was Lana, but remarks that she's been sending all of her time with her best friends, Clark. We see that life is more uncomplated for Cal who tells his teacher that he spotted a fire in a farmer's barn. The teacher tells him to take it out of wardrobe as usual. We see that Cal has crash on Lana as burn her intials on a distant asteriods. When Superboy vists Lex lab on day, he discovers it's on fire! Like our Pre-Crisis Superboy, he blows the fire-out with his super-breath- -as usual, a bald Luthor come out and curse the boy of steal. Jor-El tells Lex to take it easy, because it was accident. Using Kryptonian science, Jor-El creates an "Activator Ray" to restore Lex's hair! Lex also decides to use his mind to help humans. Another day, Superboy saves a man--or for it to turn out to a scarecrow!! On the way, home they bump into the teenage imp, Mr. Mxyzptlk! It's turns out Mr. Mxyzpltk slip out of the school but he claim he will return soon, but imp has not reckoned with Jor-El's super-science, in which he created a barrier to block the imp dimension. Still another day, while Superboy is digging for a irrigation ditch for some farmers, he discovers a glowing green metor--a.k.a Kryptonite! The farmer calls in Jor-El, and Jor-El tells them get rid of the Kryptonite! Jor-El builds a mechine to success drestory all Kryptonite--green and red in one BIG stroke! CHAPTER 3 - "THE STRANGE FATE OF THE FAMILY FROM KRYPTON" This chapters open with a half-page introduce with the Superfamily leaving Earth--but Kal-El wondering how well the new Superboy is going to replace him.

They reason for her knowedgle of Superboy come from Altantis version of televisions. At Jor-El's house, Jor-El comes up with a idea for her-- by recalling old "Xzanos-LL"--one of Krypton's greatest surgeon. He asks Lori if she is willing to undergo a change? She approves of it and tells that her parents also approves it. A earth surgeon under the guidance of Jor-El, and soon, Lori has her legs. The Langs adopt Lori and make Lori Lang- -the writter reminding us that it's still got the double L.L. While on a space mission with Jor-El, they discover a strange ship! It's turns the strange ship is Brainic! Jor-El aslo discover Kandor, the famous bottle city! Jor-El tells Superboy to keep him insight with his telescoping vision, while he creates weapon to deal with Brainic. Jor-El had created a Kar-Ol magnet on unhabit!

"Ironic, isn't it, dear readers that Clark Kent is one more secretly SUPERBOT!" Jor-El tells Clark to keep his identity a sercet.In Clark mind, he thinks of wearning glasses made of invulurable Kryptonian materials when he adopts my role as Superboy, they would protect my identity! "And strangely enough, in this imaginary story, it is not Clark who destined to wear this glasses to protect his sercet identiy, but Superboy!" REVIEW: Pretty good for imaginary stroy. Like the end of twist. Don't worry to much about Supergirl--because in the Superboy #97, this letter appears on the first page of a two-paged letter page. Dear Editor: I enjoyed your "Imaginary" novel, the "Super-Family From Krypton", but I found one serious oversight. If Jor-El has drestoryed all Kryptonite in the universe, this would have including that chuck of Krypton which Argo City was built-- thus drestorying everyone in the city as well, including Supergirl's parents (I assume she was not born at this time.) Your author should have remembered this, and arranged to save this city from the doom that overtook it. E. Nelson Birdwell, Oklahoma City, Okla. Could that be a planted letter? Birdwell was the assisant editor to Uncle Morty. Editor's reply: Your point is well taken. However lack of space prevented us from explaining that while Jor- El's device could drestory all Kryptonite in the universe, it could not effect Kryptonite which have been previous shield by lead. And, as you know, the city of Argo, was shield by lead to protect it resident from the deadly Kryptonite rays. A another reader letter reveals a boo-boo in a red sun in the last chapters and the Super-Family having Superpowers. It was planned that the sun was going to be yellow one--according to the editor.
