STAR BOY (Thom Kallor) was born in an orbiting observatory in space, where his astronomer-parents from the planet XANTHU lived, picking up starlight for research. This starlight gave THOM the power to draw mass from the stars and induce it into any object, making it super-heavy.

MON-EL (Lar Gand) comes from DAXAM, a Kryptonlike planet, and has the same powers as SUPERBOY. When he first came to EARTH, he had amnesia, and SUPERBOY, thinking he was from KRYPTON, gave him his own family name, EL, plus MON, because they met on Monday. Later, contact with lead, which is deadly to him as Kryptonite is to SUPERBOY, restored his memory and endangered his life. SUPERBOY could only save him by putting him into the PHANTOM ZONE, where he remained for 1,000 years, until BRAINIAC 5 invented a serum that, taken at regular intervals, makes MON immune to lead and gives him powers under a red sun.
