Before Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen there was Superboy’s Best Friend Pete Ross. The only person besides Ma and Pa Kent to know Superboy was also Clark Kent, following a fateful camping trip.
But did he tell Superboy what he’d found out, maybe ask for the odd free flight? He most certainly did not. Pete spent his time looking for ways to ease the burden on Clark Kent when he needed to get away to do some super-dupery.
Oh, the lengths to which Pete went.
You likely know what happened to Pete pre-Crisis. If not, download the recent episode of the excellent Digging For Kryptonite podcast on which host Anthony Desiato and I demand Justice For Pete Ross. You can find the show on your favourite podcatcher, or just click on this link.
We’d love to hear any thoughts you have on Pete Ross. Meet you in his sodden tent!

I haven’t listened in as yet, but Pete Ross does deserve justice. I was a proponent for Superman and Lois tying the knot, but the irony is that in them coming together, it distanced Superman from other characters, especially with him no longer having a career as Superboy. Then there was Ruin. Ugh, just awful.
