Synopsis for "No Mercy for a Hero!"
Superboy is forced into a competition of four battles with Ron-Avon, a super-powered youth from Belgor. Two combats take place on Earth, and two on Ron-Avon's homeworld, which is ruled by brutal tyrants called The Guardians. Superboy wins three of the battles and thus triumphs in the competition, and is forced by Belgorian law to drop Ron-Avon in the Urn of Crystal Death, where he will be destroyed by radiation, or see Ron's parents die. Superboy lends the youth his cape to protect him from the radiant elements, fishes him out after his parents are freed, and helps him carry out a coup against the Guardians. Ron-Avon, now a friend to Superboy, confirms that his planet will now be ruled in a democratic fashion.
