Superboy Vol. 4 (2010-2011) #2

Plot

Poison Ivy convinces Superboy to work with her to find the cause of the rapidly growing plants. They trace the phenomena to a local farmer attached to a bizarre mechanism. Ivy turns on Superboy, to take the raw power of the machine for herself, but Simon arrives with his newly created Parasite Frogs, which sap Ivy's power. Worried it is about to explode, Superboy flies the mechanism into the air, but all it does is flash and disintegrate. In the aftermath, Simon and Conner uncover an ancient relic, while elsewhere two farmers discuss how these events fit into their plans for Smallville.
