Pete Ross

Clark Kent and Superboy's best friend. While on a camping trip, Pete discover's Clark's true identity but keeps it to himself. He aides Superboy in secret unbeknownst to him.

When Superboy, Mon-El, Shadow Lass and Duo Damsel (see Legion of Super Heroes) are trapped in 20th Century Smallville by Mordru the Merciless, Pete's knowledge of Superboy's secret identity restores the Legionaires' memory. As a reward Mon-El hypnotizes Superboy into forgetting that Pete knows his secret because Mon-El realizes that Pete's knowledge of Clark's identity will save Superman in their future lives.

Then and there, Ross vowed to keep his knowledge secret, even from Superman, and never reveal it to anyone else. On occasion, without Kent's knowledge, Ross even masqueraded as the young Clark Kent to help him preserve his secret identity.

To this day, Superman remains completely unaware that Pete Ross shares his closely guarded secret.(TGSB)
