Solar Boy

A superhuman juvenile deliquent from an unnamed planet out in deep space who gains his powers from exposure to the energies produced by his late father's Solar-Ray Super-Energy Converters.

Solar Boy first encounters Superboy and Krypto the Superdog when he is attempting to loot the Earth's zoos for specimens to lock up in his private game preserve. The Boy of Steel and the Dog of Steel stopped the alien thief, but he vowed revenge.

A couple of years later, Krypto, while wandering through space after a brief falling out with Superboy, encounters Solar Boy again, but does not recognize him. Solar Boy, however, does recognize Krypto, and hatches a plan to get revenge upon the Superdog by first befriending him, then stripping him of his powers, and finally mistreating him.

Solar Boy's plans are thwarted by Krypto, who manages to sabotage the Solar-Ray Super-Energy Converter cabinets that give teenage criminal his powers, which permanently robs Solar Boy of his powers and returns Krypto's powers to the canine (Adv No. 269/1, Feb 1960: "Krypto's Mean Master!").
