Bash Bashford

Bashford is an egotistical Smallville high school sports star who gains incredible strength after eating bananas from a red sun world (fruit gathered by Superboy and meant to save the life of an alien white gorilla). Bash doesn't have the knowledge or ability to be a real super hero, despite his and other's overblown expectations of him, and he must defer to Superboy when a real emergency threatens the Earth (first appearance, SB No. 157, Jun 1969: "Get Lost Superboy -- Who Needs You!").
