  • Professor Peterson was portrayed by George Chakiris.

Professor Peterson's first name of "John" was never spoken on screen in any of his appearances on the Superboy television series. His name of John comes from the notebook that Clark Kent reads from in the episode "Metallo" and from his numerous appearances in the tie-in comic book series.

Professor Peterson's final onscreen appearance on the Superboy television series was in the episode Microboy. However, he was mentioned by name in two additional episodes. The first time was by Superboy in the episode "Bodyswap" while he was in the body of Lex Luthor when he told Lana Lang that he had visited Dr. Oliver DeLand, who was a colleague of Peterson's from Shuster University. The second time was by Matt Ritter in the episode "Darla Goes Ballistic" when he stated to Superboy and Lex Luthor that he had to meet with Professor Peterson in regards to the damage being done to Earth by Darla's psychokinetic powers.
