Indexer Notes

Liam Sharp illustrates this issue in the style of Jack Kirby.

Hyperman of Trombus Craig Quentin, along with Hyperwoman, Hyperboy, and Hyperhound, originally appeared in Superboy (DC, 1949 series) #144. An earlier seemingly different Hyperman of Oceania appeared in Action Comics #265, but Hyperwoman infers that both Hypermen are the same person.

Zarl Vorne originally appeared as Power-Boy of Juno in Superboy (DC, 1949 series) #52, but here is the adult Powerlord.
