"Super-hypnosis" is normally a term used for Supergirl, not for Saturn Girl, so that would be consistent with the Adventure Comics version. (Which was issue 334, 333 for the letter column).
I think the idea in Adventure Comics was that they couldn't use Saturn Girl because Superboy was invulnerable. That's why in #350-351 they actually inserted a piece of Kryptonite into Superbpy's and Supergirl's brains to make them forget, rather than using Saturn Girl.

Silver Age Kryptonians could officially only be hypnotized/mind-controlled by other Kryptonians or by exploiting one of their standard weaknesses (kryptonite, magic, etc.). This became somewhat looser in the Bronze Age.

Saturn Girl making Supergirl and Superboy forget the future are considered changes from the original series.
I just read Superman and the Legion, so added a mention that Batman is stated to remember JLA #147-148.
Hyphenation of Spider-Girl.
The idea that the Legion had flight rings when they recruited Superboy and didn't have permission to use the time bubble is now listed as from Action Comics, not Secret Origin.
The xenophobia on Earth is a retcon, but not in Action Comics (which describes it as a new phenomenon), only in Secret Origin (which has it take place when Superboy was inducted).
Mentioning new Emerald Empress from the annuual. Time will tell whether this actually explains the appearance of the Empress in L3W, but I suspect not.
Mention that DCU:Legacies seems to show pre-Crisis Kara.
Kara's flight ring in Lightning Saga. It was almost certainly not thought out to this extent, but...

Saturn Girl used her powers on Superboy in Legion of super-heroes 259, she also said it was a post-hyponotic command in 280 to keep him in his own century. Also in Legion of Super-Heroes 282 she removes the whole psycho-warrior incident from his memories.
The First she does it without his permission and every legionnaire knows she does and approves. The 2nd she does it with his permission and also every legionnaire approves.
quote: It is stated in this story that when Superboy himself returns to the 20th century, some years before Supergirl's time, he always forgets about her existence due to a post-hypnotic suggestion that she gave him. (This is a fact that is corrupted in post-Silver lore, which incorrectly attributes the post-hypnotic suggestion to Saturn Girl rather than Supergirl).

I'm not next to my comics right now, but in 259 she gives him a command to stay in his century--not to forget. It is already assumed that staying in his century would make him forget without her having to do anything more to cause that. 280 sounds like the same thing.

i think the trust comes from he understood it was for the good/best intent to save him pain and ulitmately the intergrity of the timeline...after all he's "guilty" of the same thing sometimes with the legion like when Mr. Mxyzptlk killed them he never told them that they died. So They've all been guilty of hiding things from each other.

It's in the Wizard article and in Wikipedia, so I already know it's been mentioned outside comic books, I just wanted to know if it was ever in a comic book. I guess that's answered now.
