Synopsis for "The Day Superboy Blew Up the World!"

When Superboy is stumped to try and figure out a way to stop a nuclear-powered alien space probe from landing on Earth and exploding, Jonathan Kent tells him the story of how he, as Superbaby, once tried to blow up the Earth with his super-breath as if he were blowing up a balloon globe. His super-breath caused volcanic eruptions, oil gushers, and other catastrophic results, but Martha Kent lured him back with the smell of a tasty stack of homecooked pancakes. After hearing the story, Superboy gets the idea of fashioning a phony "Earth" globe of magnetic iron, which pulls the space probe away from Earth and lets it harmlessly destroy the iron globe.
