The other story in the book is Superboy explaining that in his early days, he had issues with his X-Ray vision melting his glasses.  He solved that problem by making special glasses from the glass of a spaceship so they will no longer melt from the X-Ray.    I actually really like this story because it explains a superhero problem but also removes the paradox of “well why don’t his glasses melt” and you know there are plenty of paradoxical things in comics.

Back Story of Superboy

Superboy is the youthful incarnation of Superman, also known as Clark Kent, before he fully takes on the role of the Man of Steel. The backstory of Superboy varies depending on the era and the version of the character being depicted, but there are some consistent elements.

In most versions, Superboy’s origin story begins on the planet Krypton, where his father Jor-El, a brilliant scientist, discovers that their world is doomed to be destroyed. In a desperate attempt to save his son, Jor-El sends baby Kal-El to Earth in a small spacecraft. Kal-El crash-lands in Smallville, Kansas, where he is found and adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who name him Clark Kent.

Growing up in Smallville, Clark discovers that he possesses incredible powers due to Earth’s yellow sun and lower gravity. These powers include superhuman strength, invulnerability, flight, super speed, heat vision, and more. Clark learns to control and use his powers under the guidance of his adoptive parents, who teach him values of truth, justice, and compassion.

As Superboy, Clark uses his powers to protect Smallville and eventually the world from various threats, both mundane and extraordinary. He becomes a local hero, often working in secret to maintain his dual identity as Clark Kent, a normal teenager.
