They...they have grizzlies in Kansas? Or wherever the hell Smallville is?

"You'll land a mile away! Un-hurt in a hay-field!"

Oh Lord. Well, at least that farmer saw something amazing before the enraged, confused sky-bear ripped him to shreds! ...Naw, we all know the Grizzly splattered like an overripe melon wherever he landed; Superboy's just placating his friends' gentle sensibilities.

"Land sakes! A bear fell from outer space! We've always wanted a bear, Pa... I say we name him ClaaaaAAAAARRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!"

This is like one of a half-dozen "the first time Lois Lane met Superboy" stories, by the way, never mind that of course she'd originally never met him until he was Superman, that originally there was no Superboy, and even after there was a Superboy Lois originally never met Lana until adulthood.

Good thing about those infinite Earths!
