For the remainder two seasons of its run Superboy is played by Gerard Christopher. Set in the present day and no longer at Shuster University, the series bears little connection to the continuity of the adult Superman's known history. This young Clark Kent (below left) works for an organization which studies UFO's and other paranormal phenomena.
