Mighty Boy (1960)

A second character named Mighty Boy (see Mighty Boy (1949)) enters Superboy's life later in his career. In this case, Mighty Boy is a super hero from the planet Zumoor who is aided by Rovo the Mighty Dog. Mighty Boy and Rovo gain super powers from the yellow light of Zumoor's moon that are equivalent to those possessed by Superboy and Krypto. The pair undergo amazing transformations when they come into physical contact with Superboy, much the way that Superboy is transformed by exposure to Red Kryptonite (SB No. 85/1, Dec 1960: "The Secret of Mighty Boy!").
