Comment(s):
- This story is said to have taken place soon after the Kents adopted Clark. Clark is lost at sea and later adopted by a series of foster parents who return him for various reasons related to his (unknown to them) super powers. Clark is later reunited with the Kents.
- It is likely this story is out of continuity due to the unlikeliness of events - even in a Silver Age Superbaby story. Due to a coloring mistake, Superbaby's cape is yellow, not red throughout the story, which could be taken as indication of this being an "Imaginary" Story and/or occurring on a parallel Earth.
