Superboy: Smallville Attacks #[nn]

When the Parasite descends on Smallville with a deadly vendetta against Superman, he finds Superboy instead—and quickly drains most of his powers. With his strength fading, Conner resorts to his tactile telekinesis to trap the villain in a storm of wheat seeds. But as the dust settles, the earth itself turns against him: massive stalks erupt from the ground, ensnaring Superboy, Krypto, and Simon Valentine in a sudden, terrifying grip.

In "Smallville Attacks! Part Two," Superboy teams up with Poison Ivy to investigate a sudden surge of aggressive plant growth in Smallville, leading them to a mysterious farmer and a strange device. When Ivy betrays Superboy to claim the machine’s power, Simon Valentine intervenes with his bizarre Parasite Frogs, only for the device to flash and vanish—leaving behind ancient secrets and unsettling new questions.

Superboy is caught between rebuilding Smallville and keeping his identity hidden when a sudden rift in time unleashes Psionic Lad and a relentless pursuit from the future. With Krypto at his side and Martha and Jonathan Kent watching from afar, Superboy must protect the young time traveler while confronting the mystery of his arrival.

In the second part of "The New Adventures of Psionic Lad," Superboy and the mysterious Psionic Lad stand their ground against a relentless hunting party, only to be relieved by the arrival of Simon Valentine. Back at the Kent farm, Psionic Lad reveals he’s from a future ruled by a tyrant known as The Prime Hunter, and that he’s come to the past seeking training from Superboy to prepare for a battle that hasn’t happened yet. With the help of Simon, Psionic Lad uses his powers to track down the missing Mr. Gilliam, uncovering clues that hint at a deeper mystery—and setting the stage for a mission that will test loyalty, memory, and the true meaning of heroism.

Superboy and Kid Flash kick off an unexpected race across Smallville, not just to settle a rivalry but to raise funds for repairs after the chaos left by Parasite and Poison Ivy. With Krypto in tow and a handful of familiar faces watching from the sidelines, the sprint from farm fields to town square becomes a high-speed test of speed, smarts, and what it means to be a hero in a town still healing.

In the fifth chapter of "Reign of Doomsday," Superboy faces off against the relentless Doomsday in the ruins of Detroit, the battle testing his resolve as much as his strength. Meanwhile, Simon Valentine journeys to Ivy Town to meet Ray Palmer, unaware that Psionic Lad is silently observing from the shadows.

In the quiet shadow of Smallville’s diner, Mr. Lynch recounts a long-buried tale of Sheriff Nate Kent and Deputy Albert Valentine’s clash with the Took family’s dark rituals. When the Phantom Stranger suddenly takes possession of Mr. Lynch, he warns Superboy that a woman he knows is in peril—sending him, Krypto, Simon Valentine, and Psionic Lad racing to Lori Luthor’s home at the old Took farm, where the ground gives way to a hidden world beneath.

In "Rise of the Hollow Men, Part Three: Time and Tannarak," Superboy and Krypto race against time as Tannarak unleashes a chilling plan rooted in the past, using the Took family’s long-buried conspiracy to summon an army of cloned Superboys—each a hollow echo of the hero himself. With the Phantom Stranger’s cryptic warnings ringing in their ears and the souls of Smallville’s people in peril, Superboy must confront a threat that reaches across centuries, guided by Arion’s ancient wisdom and the uneasy alliance of the Viking Prince, Lady Chian, and Lord Wynde.

In the final chapter of "Rise of the Hollow Men," Superboy and Krypto race to stop Tannarak’s escalating threat as Simon and Lori confront the lingering danger of the Parasite and the Hollow Men. With Psionic Lad restoring the souls of Smallville’s citizens and the clones left to face their fate, the survivors begin to rebuild—just as the quiet rhythm of small-town life starts to return.
