In an attempt to discover his secret, Superboy paints some lead balls green to fool Mon-El into thinking it was Kryptonite. Mon-El collapses, and Superboy confronts him as a fraud. Mon-El reveals that the lead jogged his memory, and that he was from the planet Daxam, whose inhabitants have a fatal weakness to lead.
