Smallville-Land
A historical replica of the town of Smallville, the home of Superboy, built in the 52nd century, resembling the town of Smallville as it did at the height of Superboy's career. Designed, built and maintained by R. J. Desmond, "the greatest showman of the 52nd century", Smallville-Land is populated by humatrons, lifelike replicas of the people of Smallville in Superboy's time.
Visitors visiting Smallville-Land pass through tubes built over the town, and read programs disks that detail information related the town. At one point, the Superboy humatron is programmed to foil a mock-up of a robbery, just to give visitors a taste of Superboy's crime-fighting skills.
Superboy visits Smallville-Land in the 52nd century during an experiment with his time-travelling abilities. Before returning home, Superboy briefly encounters Desmond whilst secretly posing as the Superboy humatron, and then goes on to foil the plans of Pygor, a jealous rival of Desmond's who sought to steal the Superboy humatron and discover it's secrets. (NSB No. 10, Oct 1980: "The Town That Time Remembered!")
