Man I loved Superboy. He was a great way to reintroduce the character into the DCU after Crisis. It was always a toss up between him and Steel as my favorites after Superman’s death. I knew they eventually killed him but glad they brought him back and that he matured out of the teenage boyhood that afflicted him. Funny thing, I once wrote to DC, after the initial reveal of Westfield being the genetic donor for Superboy and after Davney Donovan killed Westfield and chopped off his ear, that they should do a story line when Donovan created a better clone of Superman using Westfield’s dna. This was probably back in 1995/96, maybe. I hid no idea that they eventually did a story about a Superboy clone. I feel a little jilted that I knew nothing of this nor get any credit for proposing the basic idea 😂 But I’m also glad that some Superman powers kicked in eventually since Cadmus was able to make his body a solar battery like Superman’s. I’m gonna have to go find some of the further reading material (I’ve got the first 25 issues of Superboy and will have to reread them now). Thanks for this break down of Superboy!
I have the run of Superboy in Hypertime. Def fav run. Imagine a superboy that grew to full maturity as Superman vs the superboy we all know but also thrown in are a bunch of superboy variants. Including a one superboy prime.
I've never been hugely interested in Conner Kent. Now I need to go read his stuff because this sounds great. Thank you for another great lesson! Does the Legion need to be connected to a Superboy? Yes! Or Supergirl, she'd work too. Can we PLEASE get the Legion of Super-Heroes series? You two have talked about that for, like, 4 years! Pretty please???
"Leather jackets are back in fashion!" -> "How about an actual superhero uniform?" -> "T-shirts can be a superhero uniform!" -> "You guys ever watch TRON Legacy? Mindblowing!" -> "Leather jackets are back in fashion!"
So glad that Kon got some love from this podcast. Check out Man of Tomorrow series for him. It’s good and his TK ability is expanded upon
Thanks for this episode! I did a cosplay of him recently and this came in handy when deciding to make the backgrounds set in hawaii!
I do love conner kent superboy he's really awesome and tons of fun :)
Definitely

I love Kon-El!!! Would love to see more of him in the current DC timeline or have him become a Nightwing of sorts and Jonathan becomes Superman
That would be awesome
i personally would really love for you guys to cover Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy someday please :)

Love the channel and I love the character How long is the Superboy Jeff Leimere run?
Metropolis Kid sounds like a cool superhero name
Hi Jason and Ashley, how are you all doing? I love you my sweet amazing kind-hearted loving friends.
I was quite surprise AVR didn't grab the chance to talk more about Tim, given his relationship with Kon.
Side Sidearm....lol
