Superboy uses his mind prober ray on himself to learn more about his life on Krypton. He learns that as a baby he gains super powers from a ray that Jor-El had invented. His powers were instrumental in chasing off an alien invasion force that was planning to invade Krypton. Krypto also was given powers by the ray and was able to perform a last minute rescue. The powers eventually wore off, but the alien force was successfully convinced not to return.
