Before he returns, the spaceship passes through a Kryptonite cloud and then, because he knows that Superboy lives there, he pilots the spaceship to earth. Exposure to Kryptonite has given him the ability to turn anything he wishes into that element, plus he has some natural telepathic abilities. He bedevils Superboy through several stories, both by himself and allied with Dev-Em, but is always unfortunately foiled by the boy of steel.
