@ Zodisgod, remember that it was Lex Luthor who gave them to him, so there has to be a catch. As I've said earlier, they seem more like steroids, considering how they make him stronger and more aggressive. On that note, they might eventually become addictive, which likely is what Luthor intended in giving them to him so that he could control Superboy.
