Synopsis

The Repo Man has attacked Superman and Superboy in Smallville. After punching Superman far away from the scene, he threatens the family. Superboy calls in Krypto to distract Repo Man, and Superman returns. But Repo Man reverts back to the boy he was, and is knocked unconscious. Superboy finds some yellowish Kryptonite near the boy. Jimmy Olsen sneaks into Preus' compound, but is warned by the captured Martian Manhunter to get away (too late).
