Synopsis for Superboy: "Prisoner of the Super-Heroes!"

Superboy is shocked when his friends from the Legion of Super-Heroes have appeared in 20th Century Smallville, and are doing their best to upstage and beat Superboy in saving the day, solving crimes and stopping menaces. This eventually causes everyone to turn against Superboy; even his adoptive parents and his pet Krypto turn their backs on the Boy of Steel.

Superboy decides to travel to the 30th Century to find out that what the Legion is up to. Arriving in the future, Superboy is shocked to find that there is now a Superboy planet, an entire world that is dedicated to honoring him. However, when the Legionnaires return to their own time, they capture Superboy and imprison him in a Kryptonite cage, telling the Boy of Steel that they consider him a criminal.

Explaining, they tell Superboy that they created a monitoring device to view the past to help construct their Superboy planet, and they saw Superboy destroying US military vehicles in his not-too-distant future. Therefore they have come to the conclusion that he is a criminal. However, the Boy of Steel manages to break out of his cell and shows the Legion on the monitor why he destroyed those vessels: Under special orders of the President of the United States, Superboy was ordered to destroy the vessels in order to cover up the transport of a top secret gas so that it cannot fall in the hands of foreign spies.

With everything sorted out, the Legion goes back to the past and explains everything to everyone, reinstilling people's faith in the Boy of Steel.
