So - how do you think Super Baby came to be?
If you said he's an alien who rocketed to Earth as an infant or a media whore who broke a nation for personal profit, you're thinking about the wrong Super Baby.
We're talking about the other Prince Of Wails, this kid -
Our confusion over his origins stems from the simple fact that they published more than one!
There's this one...
...and then there's this one...
To heap on an extra dollop of odd confusion, the stories were published by different companies. The first origin is from Timely's Comedy Comics and the second from Baily's Cisco Kid. I've got no clue how or why that happened, and there is no record of who created/wrote/drew the strip.
It would be another half dozen years before Superbaby (one word) started appearing in Superboy, and a half dozen more before Super Baby was left on Clark Kent's doorstep.
Super Baby had just a dozen stories before fading into comic limbo.
