Trivia

1. Clark uses the following ability in this episode: super speed.
2. Although it was suggested in Perry that Clark's powers were somehow related to the sun, this episode is the first in which it is verbally indicated (by Baern) that the abilities demonstrated by Clark and other Kryptonians are a direct result of their exposure to Earth's yellow sun.
