Synopsis:
Jonathan Kent temporarily gains super-powers from a rod that Superboy brings to Earth from an alien world. Jonathan assumes the identity of Strongman and assists Superboy. He lacks good judgment in using his powers, forcing Superboy to cover for his father’s mistakes and help protect his secret identity. Eventually Jonathan’s powers wear off, forcing him to happily give up his Strongman identity.
