George Chakiris: Professor Peterson

Quotes 

• Professor Peterson : Amazing. I mean, there were enough explosives in that van to topple a building. But you seem to check out just fine. I mean, from what I can tell. I mean, even x-rays can't penetrate your skin.

  Superboy : I feel fine, professor. Really, there's nothing to worry about.

  Professor Peterson : You may be feeling no ill effects now, but you did black out.

  Superboy : Yes, I did, for a second or two.

  Professor Peterson : More like a minute. The point is, you're not completely impervious to physical trauma. Now, take this laser. It's powered by green space rocks that emit a radiation harmless to us, but deadly to you. Now, why? I mean, what is the link between you... and an unknown green element? And this morning... you survived the immense heat of a major explosion unscathed. Now, what if it had been the heat of a... a 50-megaton hydrogen bomb? And then there's cold. Could you withstand temperatures approaching absolute zero?

  Superboy : Beats me, professor.
