Synopsis for "Jor-El's Visit to Earth!"

The juvenile Jor-El is thrown through time and space by a comet's freak effect, ending up in Smallville in Superboy's time. When he learns the newcomer's identity, Superboy is flabbergasted to meet his own father, both after the latter's death but before a period when Jor-El had fathered Kal-El. After several adventures together, Superboy attempts to make a gift of Red Kryptonite to his future father as he helps him return to the past. Instead, he has given young Jor-El a sample of amnesium, which wipes out any memory of his visit to the future.
