All you folks who knew who Mon-El is and where he's from, here's a rather harder quiz, albeit a short one. Mon-El's immunity to the harmful effects of lead derives from a serum concocted by Brainiac 5. A useful side effect is that the serum preserves Mon-El's super-powers under a red sun. 1. What is the crucial ingredient in this serum? 2. Why is the serum not useful to Superboy himself? (He doesn't have to worry about lead, but the red-sun effect would be useful.) 3. Why didn't Superboy, who tried long and hard to develop such a serum, ever find it? Why was it right under his nose from the start? 4. What is the fundamental difference between the effects of lead on Daxamites and the effects of Kryptonite on Kryptonians?
