- Synopsis
- The Parasite appears in Smallville, looking to kill Superman, but finds Superboy instead. The Parasite quickly drains most of Superboy's power, but Conner uses his tactile telekinesis to smother the villain in wheat seeds. Moments later, however, out of the ground shoot giant stalks that ensnare Superboy, Krypto, and Simon.
