After learning that Daniel has had the Supernova suit taken from him, Booster, Rip, and Skeets set off to ensure that Jonathan Kent's ancestor survives his birth with the aid of Dr. Jeb Westfield. If they don't, Lionel Luthor will find baby Kal El and his jealous brother Lex will kill him. In the Old West, Booster meets with Jonah Hex but learns that Jonah refused the job, so he goes to Dr. Westfield's himself and protects him from an attack by Supernova. Dr. Westfield decides to move back to Smallville, and Booster rejoins Rip in the time sphere, where they run into two other time travelers.
