Indexer Notes
This is the first appearance of the real Morgan Edge. The clone of Morgan Edge took his place from Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen (DC, 1954 series) #133 (October 1970) through #152 (August-September 1972). This deception was uncovered in Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane (DC, 1958 series) #118 (January 1972).
