Superboy Says 'Don't Give Fire a Place to Start! Click for the full page.Despite being a small town, Smallville seems to have a surprising number of big city amenities. For instance, this PSA features the Smallville Teen-Age Club, which unfortunately catches fire. Luckily, Superboy is there to put out the fire — as well as lecture the teen-agers about fires.

Being cynical, if were one of the teens, I’d be a little suspicious of Superboy. There’s mysterious fire damage and Superboy — with his heat vision — just happens to be there? That has Kryptonian-related arson written all over it.

    I would make a joke about Heroin and Mules, but this is a family blog.

    …hmmmm. This looks like it was from the ’50s or so, which means, being Superboy, it was SET in the ’30s… so “hep” might well have been period-appropriate.

    Didn’t Lex Luthor turn evil after his lab mysteriously burnt down one day while Superboy was around?
