Why is NuJon so comsistently written as a completely different guy from JonClassic?

In my opinion

Including the Superboy Special

In my opinion

Context: An obsessive fan of Superboy frames him for her supposed murder as revenge for Superboy not paying enough attention to her.

From Superboy (1990) #7

Something I realized is that Kon's feelings (in the Kingdom of Zod epilogue) of being underappreciated and resentment towards Superboy Prime for getting attention that Kon can be interpretated as an inherited trait from Lex.

Lex has felt underappreciated and resentful towards Superman for the love he receives over Lex.

It's something I hope they lean into.

If they wanted to, we could have an enmity between Prime and Kon that mirrors Superman and Lex in a sense.

Though it would be with the inverse kind of twist that Prime is an AU Superman Variant on a redemption arc from being a comic event villain while Kon is a clone of Superman & Lex that has been heroic (outside of mind control).

I doubt they'll do that since Prime is headed back to his universe but it would've been a fun idea.

Supergirl Volume 5 #2.

Being forced to choose who to help despite wanting it to do it all which could mean deciding who lives or dies in some cases.

Context: Capitol City is Superboy's equivalent to Metropolis

Criminals make it seem like Superboy accidentally killed someone which shakes Superboy badly enough to retire and retreat to the Kent Farm

What do you think of the various Superboy Title Logos?

Which are your favorites?

If you wanted, which logo would you pick for Superboy as a whole?

If you wanted, which logo would you assign to each Superboy?

Waid will probably put Superboy somewhere in Luthor Year One, right?

Action Comics #1103

He is Superman’s greatest enemy…he was Clark Kent’s school-age contemporary. He’s been the President of the United States…and the world’s most wanted super-villain. He is Lex Luthor, and this is his story. From the epic Action team of Mark Waid and Patricio Delpeche comes the definitive origin of the greatest criminal mind of our time…if you survive the experience.

I’ve been trying to get back into comics recently & I’ve become slightly obsessed with learning interesting facts about various superheroes & I wanted to ask the community for their strangest facts! Anything from what could’ve been, obscure characters, strange facts, anything you have I would like to know!

Here we have Superboy vs King Shark at Happy Harbour Beach!

Based off his first appearance with his classic design. The Background is of Bondi Beach from Sydney Australia, I just added Mount Justice in the background.

Joker once took Mxyzptlk's powers once to become Emperor Joker

However, Pre-Crisis Lex once duplicated Mxyzptlk's powers for himself in Superboy #131

(Action Comics #1100)

The entire storyline doesn't read to me like SP is actually sorry for what he did, just sorry that he got beaten and had to suffer consequences.

He never actually apologizes, he's condescending and dismissive when it comes to his victims' rather understandable feelings of distrust and fear towards him and he acts like he's entitled to start over because sometimes he feels sorta bad about all the mass murder and torture he's committed.

What's worse, characters like Power Girl and Superboy (Conner Kent) who are very much justified in hating this guy are basically browbeaten into dropping their grudge by the narrative or portrayed as big bad meanies who won't give poor widdle Superboy Prime a chance.

I'm sorry, did we just... forget why everyone fought to get rid of this guy in the first place? He didn't just do an oopsie and kicked somebody's dog. He murdered dozens of heroes, some of which haven't come back btw, despite what Mr. Diet Deadpool says. He laid waste to entire cities. He tried to destroy the universe.

TL; DR Superboy Prime's character and redemption arc do not work for me for a number of reasons and the lack of actual accountability is just one of them.

Infinite Crisis #6.

From New Adventures of Superboy #31

Am I the only one who remembers when Kon-El (Conner Kent) was our Superboy, and Krypto was right there by his side?

While most people recognize Krypto as Superman’s super-powered dog from Krypton, I’m referring to the version of Krypto from the ‘90s Superman and Superboy comics. This was the regular white Earth dog associated with Kon-El and Bibbo (I miss this guy too!).

For those of us who grew up with that era of DC Comics, Kon-El was THE Superboy, and that version of Krypto was an integral part of his world. It’s a shame that these comic ideas, such as Supergirl, Lex Luther II, and Superman being the only pure Kryptonian, were overshadowed by their higher sales figures.
