We begin with Superboy in "The Secret of Superboy's 'Sister'" by Leo Dorfman, Bob Brown, and Murphy Anderson. When little Kathy Warren (who is staying with the Kents until her mother, Martha Kent's friend, recovers from an auto accident) accidentally bursts a space-brain that Superboy has captured, her intellect is raised to genius status. Thus, when even Superboy is hard-pressed against the alien Truhls, Kathy conquers them with a secret weapon. But the weapon creates an energy feedback that appears to restore her intelligence to that of a normal child. Later, after Mrs. Warren has recovered, Kathy goes back to her family.
The backup is the Legion of Super-Heroes in "Invisible Invader" by E. Nelson Bridwell and George Tuska. A thief uses the power of invisibility in his crimes, and Invisible Kid must find a way to counter his own power to stop him. Reprinted in Best of DC #24 (1982), Legion of Super-Heroes Archives Vol. 10 HC (2000), and Showcase Presents: Legion of Super-Heroes Vol. 4 TPB (2010).
