In "The Stolen Identities!", a rare 1976 DC adventure written by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by George Papp, two Xelthunians infiltrate Smallville by replacing Ma and Pa Kent, unaware that the real Kents are Superboy’s foster parents. When Ma Kent’s offhand comment about Superboy’s kryptonite vulnerability leads to a misfired transporter ray powered by red kryptonite, the Boy of Steel is transformed into three wildly different versions of himself—each with their own size and challenges. Cover by Ernie Chan, this fun, inventive tale sees Superboy uncover the aliens’ true mission and help them achieve it, all before the day is done.
