2. There Was a Spinoff Show
Spoiler alert: the spinoff show failed. The Adventures of Superboy, did not make it past the pilot. With that story, producers tried to salvage the momentum and audience build from The Adventures of Superman. They cast Johnny Rockwell (real name) and Bunny Henning (also a real name) as the title roles, Superboy, and Lana Lang. Sound vaguely familiar? The one thing that lasted from the experiment were the two characters, who would appear in the Marvel Universe years later. Lana Lane showed up in Smallville, in 2001, the modern recreation of the Superboy world.
