Superboy's adoptive Earth mother "Ma Kent" is referred to for the first time as "Marthe Kent" in this story. This name would be standardized soon thereafter as "Martha Kent." Previously, other names had been used, most prominently "Mary Kent." So this story is considered the first time that Ma Kent was identified as "Martha."
