History
History: Shuster College was an education center located in the state of Florida on a parallel world independent of the mainstream DC Universe. In 1988, young Clark Kent and his childhood friend, Lana Lang left their home town of Smallville to attend college at Shuster. There, they met fellow classmates T.J. White - nephew of Daily Planet managing editor Perry White, as well as entrepreneur Lex Luthor. One of the campus buildings located at the college was the Shuster Research Center.

A few days after beginning his classes, Clark discovered that the scientists at the Research Center had discovered a bizarre meteor rock. The rock produced waves of intense electromagnetic radiation, which nearly destroyed the science hall. Clark changed into his super-heroic alias, Superboy, and dragged the meteor out of the building, pulling it out to sea. There, he discovered that the meteor was actually an imprisoned alien lifeform. It thanked Superboy for setting him free, and left the planet Earth.

Almost immediately aftewards, the school nearly suffered catastrophe again as Lex Luthor and some of his hoodlum friends attempted to steal a mystical relic known as the Jewel of the Techacal - an artifact recovered from archaelogist Professor Thomas Lang. Clark found himself forced to make a fully public appearance as Superboy and save the campus from certain destruction.
