Sutri, also known as Marsboy, was a teen superhero on the planet Mars who became a friend of Superboy.
History
As a boy, Sutri was exposed to blinding rays from a mysterious asteroid which endowed him with superpowers, and he decided to become a superhero for his planet.
Years later he was tasked with saving Mars by travelling to Earth and taking the fabled Sphinx of Giza. He and Superboy, who initially had a conflicted relationship, eventually teamed up, allowing Marsboy to take the secret of the Sphinx back to Mars.
A fateful decision
Later, Marsboy and Superboy exchange costumes and identities to substitute for each other on their respective worlds, but each one endangers the other's secret identity by doing so.
In his last known adventure, Superboy helps his old friend Marsboy catch a Martian crook, but Lana Lang blackmails Marsboy into a scheme to make the Boy of Steel jealous.
