In Silver Age canon introduced in 1958–59, Luthor was reinvented as Lex Luthor, a brilliant teenage student roughly the same age as Clark Kent, who moved to Smallville when both were students in high school. An outstanding science student but socially awkward, Lex Luthor became friends with Clark Kent, one of the few students able to understand him on a scientific basis. In the storylines, Lex Luthor became a friend of Superboy (not suspecting, of course, that the hero was also Clark Kent). Taking note of Lex's scientific brilliance and potential to make socially beneficial discoveries, Superboy builds an advanced laboratory for Luthor to use to pursue these breakthroughs. In one storyline, Luthor is experimenting with the development of artificial biological matter when a fire breaks out in the laboratory. The fire quickly spreads and intensifies, and Superboy on his regular patrol quickly arrives to put out the fire with his super-breath. However, in the process the biological growth in Luthor's experiment is consumed in the fire, producing a caustic gas which causes all of Luthor's hair to fall out. Enraged to an irrational fury by the disaster, Luthor focuses the blame on Superboy, vowing to battle the hero the rest of his life, to the extent of killing him if possible. The Silver Age plotline of Clark Kent and Lex Luthor having been teenage friends or acquaintances has been retconned in and out several times since <i><a href="/wiki/Crisis_on_Infinite_Earths" title="Crisis on Infinite Earths">Crisis on Infinite Earths</a></i> in 1986.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_Superman_Family">The Superman Family</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_Superman_supporting_characters&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: The Superman Family"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:TeamSuperman.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/aa/TeamSuperman.jpg/170px-TeamSuperman.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="342" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/aa/TeamSuperman.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="222" data-file-height="447" /></a><figcaption>The Eradicator, Steel, Superman, Superboy, Supergirl, and Strange Visitor, art By Mike McKone</figcaption></figure> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Supergirl" title="Supergirl">Supergirl</a>: Pre-<i>Crisis</i>, Supergirl is <a href="/wiki/Supergirl_(Kara_Zor-El)" title="Supergirl (Kara Zor-El)">Kara Zor-El</a>, Superman's cousin from Argo City, a city that for a time had survived the destruction of Krypton until its residents died of kryptonite radiation.
