Comments – This is the first of many times that a Legionnaire travels to the past to help Superboy, Supergirl or Superman out of a jam. Apparently they have nothing better to do than monitor their time viewers. Revision: I had originally listed this story as a "cameo", but since this incident led to Lex Luthor attempting to contact the LSV, this story has been given an index number.
