Solar-Ray Super-Energy Converters

Solar-Ray Super-Energy Converters

A device used by Solar Boy, and built inside of a specially-designed glass cabinet by the teenage juvenile delinquent's late father, that grants him a host of superhuman powers and abilities roughly equivalent to those of Superboy for a period of 24 hours. Solar Boy, in addition to using the device to periodically recharge his super powers, also employs the device to remove Krypto the Superdog's super powers for 24 hours as a part of his plan to take revenge on the Dog of Steel for aiding Superboy in preventing him from stealing a variety of animal specimens from Earth's zoos to lock up in his private game preserve. Krypto, while trapped in one of the glass cabinets, uses one of Solar Boy's maintenance robots to sabotage the device, which permanently robs Solar Boy of his powers (as, according to Solar Boy, "They're so complicated that not even the greatest minds in this world could ever duplicate them again!"), and returns Krypto's powers to the canine (Adv No. 269/1, Feb 1960: "Krypto's Mean Master!").
