Synopsis:
After Superboy buries a time capsule underground, he is accidentally transported to the 25th century by a scientist. Superboy learns that the people in the future are able to duplicate the same feats that he used to perform.

Most of the records from the 20th century were destroyed, so the people there wonder why Superboy was so special. Superboy tries to impress them with his powers and tales of his deeds, but their future technology makes his powers seem mundane. However when a crisis strikes that wipes out the world's food supply, Superboy comes to the rescue. Using seed in the time capsule, Superboy uses his powers to grow new food quickly. The Boy of Steel is thus able to live up to his legend.
