i feel like ppl push back against geoff's narrative by claiming he was the first to posit kon being actually kryptonian but this is just not true............. sb94 itself and wf3 both heavily imply/outright state that kon is a clone of superman with a small amount of stabilizing dna from paul westfield. this is an internal inconsistency with his established intro in rots and adventures of superman, but it's still like. in text stated. just look at hypertension arc. black zero talks explicitly about all the kons across the timelines being clones of superman who simply haven't grown into their full powers yet. geoff isn't the originator of this idea y'all he just retconned the human dna donor into lex instead of paul.

#also as a matter of personal opinion.#kon being an actual kryptonian clone works more elegantly in the narrative just like. occam's razor-wise #and the major reason he was established as being human emulating kryptonian powers is that there was that major editorial mandate #at the time it was prioritized that clark be the ONLY real kryptonian #this was later relaxed (kara. later versions of kon) but that was the driving force for superman during kon's creation #which imo is important context to consider #anyway. i keep seeing posts pushing back against fanon claiming this but it's just. that's not actually true #there are many real reasons to complain about geoff and about fanon without just making stuff up.........#this is the thing i was vaguely complaining about the other day btw. im still atm too lazy to go get citations #but is2g the power of spite might compel me soon #kon #rimi talks
