Synopsis for "The Super-Teacher from Krypton"
This story is reprinted from Adventure Comics #240.
A robot teacher programmed by Jor-El to teach Kal-El survives the explosion of Krypton, comes to Earth, and puts Superboy through a series of super-power examinations. Superboy gets no feedback from the machine until he is finished as it informs him he has failed and must give up being Superboy. Superboy is crestfallen, but agrees to abide by the decision the machine has rendered, upon which the teacher congratulates him and tells him he just passed the final test to see if he would willingly refrain from exercising his power. Superboy has passed all the tests with flying colors.
