The New Adventures of Superboy #31

In "The Main Event: Smallville, U.S.A.," a desperate father’s obsession with creating a superhero leads to a shocking transformation in his son, who emerges as the enigmatic Pulsar. With Ma Kent and Pa Kent caught in the crossfire, the town of Smallville becomes the battleground for a clash between legacy and ambition, as Superboy faces a foe powered by a twisted vision of greatness.

In "Thievery by Whitefire!", the cunning thief Whitefire steals priceless artifacts from a distant dimension, swapping them with ordinary Earth items to hide his tracks. When he hijacks Detective King’s place to cross over, the weakened King—still battling a cold—transforms into Power Punch to stop him. His girlfriend Vicky, becoming Sirocco, rushes to his aid, only to be pulled into the same alien realm. Now trapped in a strange world, the two heroes must find a way back before Whitefire’s scheme reaches its full scale.
