Superman #123

Superman Sunday takes us back to the Silver Age and the first appearance of Super-Girl (but not the one who you might expect). “The Girl of Steel” is the first of three stories in the comic. Although the look of Super-Girl would be used for later variations of the character, this version is not Kal-El‘s cousin from Krypton. Instead the character sprung to life from Jimmy Olsen making a magic wish on an ancient artifact Superman guilted an archeologist into giving his best friend. Oh, the Silver Age.

Smallville - Shimmer

Smallville Saturday takes us back to the time Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) had a stalker and an invisible attack roamed the halls of Smallville High School and the Luthor Mansion.

Smallville Saturday takes us back to another kind of threat for Clark (Tom Welling) when a dirty Metropolis cop (Cameron Dye) discovers his secret and blackmails Clark into helping him. There’s quite a bit happening in the episode, not all of which can actually be resolved before the end including both Martha (Annette O’Toole) and Jonathan (John Schneider) being taken in for questions in a murder investigation based on Phelan‘s frame job that wouldn’t necessarily just immediately work itself out after his complicity in other crimes came to light. Despite that oversight, the episode is a standout of the First Season with Clark facing an entirely different kind of challenge with his powers, and his adoptive parents, being used against him.
