Superboy #157 is an issue of the series Superboy (Volume 1) with a cover date of June, 1969.
Synopsis for "Get Lost, Superboy ... Who Needs You?"
Superboy revives an ailing albino gorilla with some bananas taken from a red-sun world and irradiated under Earth's yellow sun to impart enough super-power to the ape to ensure his survival. Unfortunately, Smallville jock Bash Bashford accidentally ingests some of the bananas, and gains super-strength. His already-large ego grows even greater as Smallville dubs him "Superbash" and calls on him for super-deeds. But when a giant meteor nears Earth, he finally admits that he is inadequate to the task, and "allows" Superboy to deflect it. Superboy helps save Bash's pride by telling the townspeople Bash was his "secret deputy" for the duration.
