Just in time for Halloween, we offer up "Terror From The Phantom Zone". Three Kryptonian outlaws, long banished to the Phantom Zone, somehow find their way to Earth, bringing with them some Red Kryptonite, which is the first time that variation on the Kryptonite was used in the franchise, and would be used again a couple more times in succeeding seasons.
Edit, 6/20/22: We have located the episode title card:
In some ways, this would be a precursor to Superman battling three different Kryptonian foes in "Superman 2", three years later, and that was actually a better story.....!
Rating: A-.

I remember this one - unfortunately it's as full of plot holes as any other SF toon!
How did Supes keep screwing up when he was trying to redirect the lava in Naples? That was never explained.
Zan & Jana know how their powers work, so why would they make such a rookie mistake as to touch once the bad guys were on ice?
Zan turns to liquid nitrogen while Gleek is sitting on him... if Gleek thought his butt was cold BEFORE.....
You'd think Supes would have kept some blue K after that adventure. Everyone and his brother seemed to have green or red K to throw at him!
In re.: Wonder Twins: Sophomore jinx, anyone?
This to me was the first case where the Donny & Marie vibe came into play with them.
The writers didn't do enough research and there was no need for continuity back then.
