Superboy - The Great Kryptonite Caper

[TomatoHeadFish]

So does Superman live in Smallville or Metropolis? Can someone please answer!

[mcdrunkin]

@TomatoHeadFish Raised in Smallville by Ma and Pa Kent moved to Metropolis as a young adult.

As i understand it, Krypton's core (according to Jor-El) was made of uranium and became unstable, hence its explosion. By a quirk of science (unexplained in my time of the 60's), it became green kryptonite. Until receintly, it was harmless to us Earthlings; now it emits radiation that can affect us but not as quickly as it does Superman. In any case, lead will still block green k radiation. Thanx.

[Lanier1982]

I reaally love superman.

In the comics , Lana Lang was a pain in the butt

In the cartoons however, Lana was..a BIGGER pain in the buttt

I wish Krypto was real and was my dog. That would be so fucking cool.

[Matty272]

Is this where they got the idea for Lana's kryptonite necklace on Smallville?

[Cavillier1970]

@Matty272 I think this story was originally in the Superboy comics back in the day.

HEY THAT RONALD REAGAN

[ZeDuBreju]

@TRUEBLUE2053 You are right. Ronald Reagan.

[KayakMan003]

Why is he always yelling as he changes to Superboy? Ego?

[speculate1]

@KayakMan003

wouldn't you have a big ego if you were 17 and had a body that was invunerable?

Before he was known as "Ted Baxter" from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," Ted Knight gave many voices to the Filmation produced Superman and Batman cartoons. His voice talent were the narrator and other characters within the stories.

I loved how back in the day, Superboy/Superman could do anything.

Just because he has superpowers doesn't mean he has the skills and education to build a building.

[rangerkom]

I'll worry about that later. I've got to build an orphanage. :/

[KayakMan003]

@rangerkom

Wait.... R U Superboy?

[rangerkom]

@KayakMan003 I was Superboy, but then I became known by another name.

[KayakMan003]

@KayakMan003

no,,....sadly

[mezzmezmo]

Because animation in the 40's were made for movie theatres , they had a bigger budget. 60's were made for TV only.

[KCOliver1960]

Bob Hastings of McHale's Navy and General Hospital (as well as the voice of Commissoner Gordon on Batman TAS) was the voice of Superboy.

[slavekal]

Why is the animation so much cheaper than that of 1940s cartoons?

[Lehnerd57]

Jan webb did  lana voice

[manmiles]

So why is Superboy building the new orphanage in the middle of nowhere?

Kryponite causing cancer was not part of the "mythos" until the mid-1980s rewrite of the DC Comics Universe. This cartoon was made some 20 years before that.

[Vinnymonster2]

Kryptonite does cause cancer. And it also kills Kryptonians.

[EricPerridon2302]

ah! That kryptonite dad.

[bluecatcinema]

Prolonged exposure to Kryptonite can give humans cancer, it happened to Lex Luthor in the comics and Justice League cartoon.

[TheKaijuSciFiGuy]

Kryptonite emits low levels of radiation

[LauchX1337]

lmao @ the weird asian dude

[ultraboy5]

Kryptonite does not cause cancer not even is Superboy's case!!It dries the yellow solar rays out of his body and weakens him!

[thejewmatt]

Kryptonite causes cancer...
