My Crazy Youth: The Time That Superboy Fought Ghost Cowboys (That Came Out of a Mirror)

 Do you remember Superboy?
Not many people did, as one of the Actors that played the Lead- yes, there were 2- was up for the role of SuperMAN in Superman Returns...before they realized.

Since WB/Discovery is leasing their Shows out to make a few bucks, I can enjoy this silly Show without paying them (at least, directly).

In this Episode, Superboy, well, you can read the Title...

In this Episode, Clark, Lana and his friend Andy go to the latter's Uncle's House.

The House is full of strange architecture, rooms and the like.

Why?

Well, they blatantly rip off the story of Mrs. Winchester (and her Mystery House).

Andy plays with an old gun on the wall- as you do- and accidentally shoots a mirror...which was a bad idea.

This portal sucks in Lana and Andy, while Clark is just out of the room.

He flies in as Superboy and into the portal, allowing a third Ghost to come out of the other side.

And yes, the Ghosts are all blue.  Why not?

Superboy and his friends are stuck in...the Ghost Dimension, I guess...now.

They find a Saloon full of other blue Ghosts and, of course, a big fight breaks out.

They act like Superboy might lose...but he doesn't.

The Ghosts find the Uncle- who's in the Hospital- and bring him back to the mirror.

If you're wondering how they traveled there or wanted to see it, too bad!

Anyhow, they throw him in, which allows Billy the Kid to come back!

Superboy then enacts his brilliant plan- block the exit.

He essentially just blocks the magic exit to the Afterlife like a guy putting his arm out to stop an Elevator Door from closing!

They all go back through the Portal and the other Ghosts are sent back immediately.

So much for that threat.

The End.

A silly Episode, but it had potential.  Take Superboy out of the normal 'Stop Mad Scientist and/or Super Villain' routine and fresh things can happen.

Unfortunately, not much actually does happen here.

The Ghosts show up.
A fight is avoided.
Superboy fights random other Ghosts in the Saloon.
They tease a fight with him and the Ghosts...but it is just him flying back through the Portal instead.

Don't misunderstand- there's a certain level of enjoyment to be gleaned from this one, just not as much as you might think.  With only half an hour to fill- so, actually, 24 minutes- they barely do much with this.

It's a shame that this isn't a 2-Part Episode to really lean into the craziness.

As it is, it's fun.

Speaking of fun, how much fun would it be to get Credited just for suggesting that someone make a Show out of a pre-existing Character?  Now imagine that it is specifically just the medium, to boot!  Well, it happened...

Another Superboy Adventure is on the way, don't worry.  Let's see if we can get something eviler than just Ghost Cowboys...
