Analysis Notes
General Only 1-2:2 and 7:2-8:5 are dealt with here.
1 That’s a Legion telepathic earplug. They gave one to Superboy so he could understand their Interlac in <Legion of Super-Heroes v4 #74>.
7:2 Superboy gave his flight ring to Roxy in Superboy v3 #22.
7:4 The comic book versions of the characters are not tracked.
