Synopsis for "Day of the Costume Change"
Superboy is inspired by Lana Lang to have Martha Kent make him a new costume from the remains of the blankets in his rocket, in which yellow is the dominant color. But the yellow color absorbs the sun's energizing yellow rays, and Superboy suffers a power loss. Thus, he stops wearing the new uniform and goes back to his traditional one.

Trivia
- Carl Draper's exclamation that he "always was good at escaping from tough spots" is likely foreshadowing of his adult super-villain persona as The Master Jailer, since Draper's natural ability as an escape-artist was what led him to entering the security specialist profession and eventually becoming the Jailer.
