Comment(s):
- The characters in this story are the Earth-Two versions.
- Superman's parents and foster parents are not named in the flashbacks.
- Superman is shown as Superboy, which occurred on Earth-One, so this is either an editorial error or indicative of a "middle Earth" between Earth-One and Two.
