The sixth planet from the sun. Superman No. 147/3 describes Saturn as a planet “where there has been no crime at all for centuries .. . and where everyone can perform amazing mental feats!†The complete absence of crime on Saturn is caused by the weird “radiations†emanating from the “meteor- fragments that form Saturn’s rings,†radiations which somehow “cancel out Saturn people’s criminal traits!†(Aug 1961: “The Legion of Super-Villains!").
Among the particles that make up Saturn’s rings, asserts Superman No. 122/1, are those composed of a so-called “musical mineral,†an exotic substance that emits musical sounds (Jul 1958: “The Secret of the Space Souvenirsâ€).
According to Superman No. 128/1, Saturn’s “smaller moons†are actually “gigantic, porous ‘snowballs,’ “satellites that are literally “composed of frozen snow†(Apr 1959: chs. 1-2—â€Superman versus the Futuremenâ€; “The Secret of the Futuremenâ€).
Saturn Queen, a member of the Legion of Super-Villains is a native of Saturn is No. 147/3, Aug 1961: “The Legion of Super-Villains!â€). Saturn Girl a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes, is a native of Titan, the largest, brightest, and most massive of Saturn’s ten satellites (Adv No. 247/1: "The Legion of Super-Heroes!").
In February-March 1951, Superman demolishes an unidentified planet that may one day strike Earth, blasting it apart with asteroids diverted from Saturn’s rings (WF No. 50: “Superman Super. Wreckerâ€).
In February 1957, for a twelve-hour period, Superman’s personality is imprisoned in the body of Jimmy Olsen and vice versa, as the result of both men’s having unwittingly exposed themselves to the effects of a Saturnian “mentality exchanger†discovered by Superman while exploring the remnants of a long-dead Saturnian civilization (S No. 111/1: "The Non-Super Supermanâ€).
In July 1958, Superman journeys to Saturn to obtain a sample of the exotic “musical mineral†from Saturn’s rings, and later to Rhea, one of Saturn’s moons, to obtain a strange knotted tree. These are but two of a series of eight so-called “space trophies†which the Man of Steel gathers during this period for inclusion in a time capsule which the Metropolis Museum plans to bury in the ground as a gift for the people of the fiftieth century A.D. (S No. 122: “The Secret of the Space Souvenirsâ€).
