“ hey you want me to kill that guy for you?  ”

Prompts for Emotionally Stunted Idiots || Accepting

Kon let out a sigh. Man today had been rough. What a long week and it was only a Tuesday. Not only did Lex kick his ass but Thad had just somehow managed to wander by and save him. It was kind of embrassing that a man of steel like Kon couldn't even beat up his own dad. It was kind of pathetic actually. "Nah Thad as much as I would love you to punch a hole through his big shiny head I don't think I could live with the guilt of asking that you know?" It sounded stupid on the outside but despite the fact that Lex did nothing but cause problems for not only Kon but the rest of the heroes in metropolis, Lex did openly admit that he was Kon's father. Kon can't help but be selfish for wanting that kind of validation even if it was from a guy like Lex. All he'd ever wanted was parents and one shitty dad was better than no parent at all. "Besides I don't want you to end up hurt. He probably has some kind of bullshit counter measure for a speedster coming to fuck his shit up."

[kryptonianclone]

Kon glanced at Thad. "Oh yeah, I have another pair on me for when these ones get broken too." They just completed his look. Kon always felt kinda naked as Superboy when he was missing crucial part of his outfit that made him stand out. "What you don't like be prepared? I mean I don't like planning but I do like always looking my best." Kon teased. He playfully rolled his eyes at his companion then looked back to their foe. Kon wasn't good at dealing with magic users. Thad was going to have to do a little bit of the work here if they were going to win. Talk about about having a Tuesday. Only bad things happened to him on Tuesdays. Kon wiped the sweat from his brow. "Alright yeah let's fight a little dirty I can get behind something like that." Thad's grin was somewhat sinister. That was his up to no good grin and Kon knew it very well. "Okay we kick this guys ass, then how does a celebratory meal after sound?"

@kryptonianclone [continued from here]

Thad lets out a chuckle as he sees Kon take out, "An emergency pair huh?" He couldn't help, but comment aloud as he was distracted by the glasses for a moment. Though he had only meant for the comment to be for himself.

"Uh, no, thanks." He laughs, "I'm more of the type that does the punching than gets punched." He jokes as he looks back toward their shared foe. If this guy could actually cause Kon pain then Thad wanted to be cautious

"It is. And you could do that, buuuuut..." His voice lilts and Thad grins a wide teeth filled grin at Kon that only meant trouble, "How about we make this a two on one? No one ever said we had to play fair in a fight."

[ectonurites]

This is sooo not anything but I think it's funny to see a red streak in (SPOILERS) SB:MOT on his evil clone guy man and then see pics on tumblr of him with the shitty red dye in That backup... Queue buzzfeed unsolved Shane and Ryan: "I've connected the dots" "you haven't connected shit"

LMAO YEAH. i got another ask bringing that up the other day right when the issue had dropped too:

And like. it's funny! it really is funny to try to think of an in-universe rationale for why that would happen. but honestly, truthfully, i think this happening speaks to the greater problem here which is that DC editorial is not communicating well between teams/books and it is glaringly obvious and insanely fucking frustrating.

To have two books released the same week physically (Superboy: The Man of Tomorrow #6 did get digital release a week earlier, but still, it and Action Comics #1057 both hit the brick & mortar comic shops the same release day) where in one Kon goes up in a big intense fight against a clone of himself with a red streak in his hair (that he GLADLY BEATS THE SHIT OUT OF FOR CATHARSIS) and in the other Kon suddenly bleaches & dyes a streak of his hair red out of nowhere...

Yet there is NO acknowledgment of this very specific similarity???

Like, the writer of the AC #1057 Kon backup mentioned that the artist initially tried blue but it blended in too much so they went with red—so it pretty clearly wasn't intentionally a reference to the situation with Travv to begin with—hence no acknowledgement. It genuinely seems like just a random coincidence.

I've been mulling it over in my head a little bit this week and it clicked to me that... the one direct reference AC #1057's Kon backup makes to SB:MOT—to Pa saying 'you just need to find your Metropolis'—is something that was literally part of the 10-page Round Robin preview for the book before it even won the vote. It's from issue one. Nothing else from the mini is directly referenced and frankly characterization, character development, and costume changes from the rest of it were flat-out ignored...

And I just personally find it really really fucking hard to believe that an editor—someone whose job is supposed to include making continuity at least sort of make sense between books—would actually read SB:MOT #5-6 (in which the Travv inhabiting the clone of Kon situation occurred) and see NOTHING weird/off about having Kon then go dye his hair nearly the exact same way...

So I really am starting to think they (team behind AC #1057 Kon backup) may have just... read the SB:MOT Round Robin preview and maybe the rest of #1, figured they got the gist of the mini from that, and didn't look at the rest/discuss what was happening in the rest of the book with the team making it.

My #1 post of 2022

one thing I like about Tumblr is, in 2019 I reblogged a piece of art from 2017 of a book written in 2015 and Yesterday in 2022 someone liked it, and this is how this website is supposed to work, I have art made this week in my queue next to stuff from 2014, 2013, 2012, hell even 2011, sometimes I post 10-11 year old fan art from accounts that haven't been active since before One Direction broke up. Nothing is ever truly dead and gone on here, you can always dust off an old treasure and say "hey gang look at this!" other social media isn't set up like that, if you wonder why it feels like The Batman was released 100 years ago, its because corporate media wants you to move on! go to the NEW THING! BUY! etc but hey guess what I have fan art of Battinson being emo in my queue. So if you're a fan artist, writer, gif maker, or just fan who wants to gush, guess what, here, here we're still spreading around old art, gif sets and someone will be happy you made something new in the tag

tag drop 2\? - general

[kryptonianclone]

Kon always forgot how much younger he was than everyone around him. You could count the years of Kon's existence on one hand. Klarion was another story. The gap between them was so vast and Klarion had years of existence that honestly made Kon's head spin a little. Klarion somehow had all these years of experience on Kon and he didn't look a day over maybe eighteen at the oldest. Being trapped here wasn't so bad. It was taking his friends a long time to get through all the puzzles that Klarion had set up for them. Kon had been easy to catch due to his vulnerability to magic but now he and Klarion had ended up in this conversation.

"So do your mistakes ever keep you up at night?" Kon asked curiously. "Like you wake up in the middle of the night and you remember something stupid you did like two hundred years ago or is that just like a me thing?"

@kryptonianclone count from the source

Klarion giggled "I'm glad you can find it comforting, too many woulf have taken it as some insult."

"And it definitely is, there is a whole lifetime behind me I cannot control, and couldn't before as well. But now my own fate is in my hands, so I get to decide what it looks like for better or worse."

Kon had heard whispers about a new Robin but hadn't really seen him around or met him. He'd seen him in the papers here and there but Kon was a busy guy he'd only really glanced at the pictures in the front page. He didn't have the best track records with Robin's. With Tim they'd both had a really rocky start to their friendship. It was only later that they managed to become friends. Kon looked this new guy up and down. Noodle arms for days but Tim had been the same. The Robin's weren't built for strength. They were detectives and built for stealth and acrobatics. "Uh hi nice you could drop in." Kon replied, he was calm and laid back in demeanor. He could have easily been mistaken as lazy. He was leaning back in his chair, his legs up on the table. Cissie was going to come by later and yell at him that people used that table to eat. "Superboy, Kon-el. You can just call me Kon though. In public is fine. Don't worry about it that part's public knowledge." Kon's life as Superboy was pretty common knowledge. That was his own fault from his early days and talking to the press. His life as Conner Kent was locked tight. It was something he just had to learn to how to keep to himself. It was like he did the superhero thing backwards. He was a hero first and then became a civilian later. "Okay want me to give you the tour around Mount Justice? We have a really sick pool."

Doing it with Style

@kryptonianclone

Stiles backflipped into the group of Young Justice members, landing in a crouch as he looked at each of them before bursting into a wide grin.

“Hiya!  I’m the new Robin.”

He was also the oldest to carry the name ‘Robin’ as he was already eighteen.

His story was semi-tragic.  Okay, it was pretty damn tragic.

Mom died when he was eight due to an illness.  His best friend became a werewolf when he was fourteen, and his dad died when he was sixteen…at the same time that he was attacked and turned into a werewolf himself.

Stuck living with relatives in Gotham, he had wolfed out one night after smelling blood on his building’s roof and found Batman, injured and fighting thugs.  Stiles had taken the thugs out easily, and the relationship had formed then.

His relatives were shitty people and pretty much sold him to Bruce Wayne.  Now an adult; he worked his days as Mister Wayne’s assistant, and the nights as his Robin.  Now though, Bruce wanted him to bond with other young heroes.  Maybe it was because he had been contemplating going back to Beacon Hills.  To the pain of his past.

“So.  Got anything to eat around here.  I’m always so hungry.”

Prologue, Superboy

Superboy awoke with a terrible pounding in the back of his skull. He felt pain and confusion so it took him a while to process his situation and get his eyes to open and focus.

When he was finally able to take in his surroundings he saw that he was in an otherwise empty room with what looked like concrete walls, no windows and one door. He was laying at an angle on his back on something hard with his arms and legs in a cross shape.

When he tried to move his body he found that his body was unable to move. Craning to look at himself, he saw that steel shackles were holding his wrists, thighs and ankles to wooden beams. When he regained his senses, he tugged lightly and waited for the steel to give way before his mighty strength.

Surprised when nothing happened, he pulled harder and then flexed with all his might. He had a body that a weightlifter would envy and his muscles were rippling under his tight blue spandex suit. Still the cuffs would not budge. He flexed every one of his tight bulging muscles but no change.

Finally he flicked the mental switch in his mind to activate his heat vision but even that and his icy breath had abandoned him.

It was at this point that he realised he could actually feel the tight fabric of his spandex suit rubbing on his skin and nipples and that he had broken a sweat in his attempts to break free.

Hidden cameras around the room captured all of this: The Teen of Steel flexing his world famous muscles and the sweat starting to form on his forehead and around his armpits as his exertion increased. It also captured his hardened nipples poking out through the bright blue spandex underneath that famous red and yellow S shield logo.

He struggled more, flexing and bulging his muscles within the tight bindings holding him in place.

He had never really felt any physical touch in his life, let alone pain, so it took him a while to go through all these steps. Finally he gave up and called out defiantly to the empty room “who is this? I am not an enemy you want to make!”. His voice almost broke through his bravado though, showing the level of fear creeping up on him.

As if on queue, a door to his side slid open and a young man wearing a white tank top and tight shorts walked in. Superboy was not attracted to guys, but he could see that this was a guy that would get his pick of girls – or guys. He had short spiky blond hair, perfect tanned skin, piercing blue eyes and was wearing a killer smile. He also had a great physique. Not as great as Superboys of course, but he is only human after all, thought Superboy.

As he walked up to Superboy, admiring the wondrous specimen of physical beauty before him, the Teen of Steel tried to put more confidence in his voice. “Who are you and why are you holding me here? You must know this can’t hold me”.

Without saying anything, the handsome lad walked up to Superboy, and in one smooth motion, shot his hand toward Superboy’s red briefs and grabbed the once steel balls and squeezed. Hard. Superboy instantly cried out in pain helplessly and tried without success to move his exposed groin away or cover it with his muscular thighs. Tears quickly built up in his eyes and his cry turned to a guttural whimper.

The young man firmly but quietly, “Know this, “boy of steel”. You are my property and will speak only when addressed. You can think of me as Kel. You may address me as Sir. Do you understand?” His hand still gripping the Balls of Steel, he looked into the blue depths of Superboy’s eyes awaiting a response.

Superboy’s mind raced with pain and confusion. His balls felt like they were being crushed and stabbing pains were shooting into his stomach. How was this mortal – this human – able to do this to him. He was the Teen of Steel! Through a pain clenched jaw he nodded and said quickly “yes, yes, please let go of my balls!”.

The young man kept hold and waited with a patient look.

Realisation dawned on the Boy of Steel as tears escaped his eyes and travelled down his cheeks. “Yes sir, yes sir” he said weakly and with a ragged breath.

Instantly the balls were released and Superboy took deeper breaths and tried to regain his composure. Already he knew not to speak again, but his mind was racing. What was happening to him? Why could he not rip this steel like paper and where was his invulnerability which left his balls open to such pain? He felt a moment of gratitude toward Kel for releasing his balls but quickly quashed the thought.

During this time his sweating had increased and his once pristine blue, red and yellow costume was now stained with his sweat in many places. His balls had swollen from the squeezing and his bulge was more pronounced than usual through the signature bright red briefs. His hair, once immaculate, was sweaty and his signature curl was plastered to his forehead.

Kel looked over the magnificent body of the Teen of Steel and took him in for all his glory. The blue spandex covering all those muscles, the bright shield highlighting the pecs and nipples plus the red briefs housing those once impervious balls and shaft of steel. Superboy was attached to a cross with his arms above and to the side of his head and his legs spread out below him. The cross was currently leaning back which meant that the Boy of Steel was relatively comfortable. Superboy’s cape was still attached to his costume and trailed beneath him gracefully.

Kel felt a twinge of lust and desire for this magnificent specimen. His shaft pulsed with heat and his body surged with excitement and anticipation. First things first though.

“I’m sure you would like to know how you got here and of course, how you are being held here. I may explain these things or I may not. But first I have experiments to carry out and I also want to have a little fun.” A dangerous smile crept across Kel’s handsome features which drove an icy stake into the pit of Superboy’s stomach.

I've never heard about those fanfic tropes, can i bother you with some recs? (If it's not too much to ask and if you have them)

No worries! I got you! I even added a few other fic's that are my fave's for this fandom!

These are all surprisingly safe for work, mostly fluff but these are my go to's lol

5 Times People Realize That YJ is Batman's Team

It is common knowledge that Batman bends the rules of being a superhero by some of the stuff he does. Especially when he is interrogating someone for information. Even the Justice League are somewhat disturbed by his "methods" on occasion. So seeing as he probably helps train YJ along with Black Canary...

5 times it shows that Batman is the team's mentor and 1 time the mentors try and do something about it.

uaigneach - Ao3

Outsiders Looking In

The team is so used to communicating telepathically that they could practically do it in their sleep; drabbles from the perspective of the Leaguers as they notice the silence that is Young Justice.

justafandomfollower - Ao3

One of the SixTeens

The mentors have to face a horrible, horrible realization: even though their former-sidekicks are still nominally their partners, the members of Young Justice are all pretty much Batman's.

midnightluck - Fanfiction.net

Just Like Bad Wallpaper

Somehow, it seems that every time he turns his back, another teen moves into his Manor. Basically, five times Bruce adopted a superkid without his knowledge, and that one time he did it on purpose.

midnightluck - Fanfiction.net

Impromptu Sleepovers

Set in the five year time lapse. All cannon pairings from then. Summary: When the team just can't go on, they figure out who's house is nearest and go there to sleep, debriefing can wait. And Robin's not the only troll in the Superhero family. Could also be: Five times the team slept over at a random place, and one where the League does.

Mezzosopranogirl - Fanfiction.net

Kids

Take away ten years from teenagers with masks, put their mentors in the same room as them, and watch as the world goes crazy. Only Superman is equipped enough to handle the Superboy now, and Robin won't let go of his favourite security blanket

Glimare - Fanfiction.net

Kids 2-0

The team comes back to the mountain to a group of five year olds. Unfortunately they're all Leaguers. It's funnier for some than others. And those who are usually scary, are somehow overly cute. Pre-misplaced.

Glimare - Fanfiction.net

Kids 3-0

Gamma squad didn't come back when they were supposed to. They didn't answer their hails either. But that's alright! Because Nightwing and his friends found out why. All four members of that squad were toddlers. Beastboy won't hold still, Impulse wants his grandparents, Wonder Girl's being shy, and 'Wobin' is just trying to communicate.

Glimare - Fanfiction.net

Kids These Days

Several members of the Justice League are deaged. The team are given babysitting duties while the rest of the League looks for a cure. It would be easier if they hadn't kept their powers.

Peter hale/stiles stilinski

6, 19, 5, 10, 23

6. Who would they ask if they ever had a threesome?

Chris Argent. Stiles would be sandwiched between two silver foxes and be quite pleased about it. The two men would sass and try to outdo each other in taking Stiles apart.

5. Who says ‘I love you’ first?

Peter actually. He would be a little shit about it, but he would mean it and Stiles would be bright red and grinning like an idiot by the end of his sassy but honest speech because Peter would have a speech and have a big reveal. He's a dramatic ass hoe after all.

19. Where do they go on their first date?

A high-class restaurant out of town where Peter knows the owner because of course does. Stiles is impressed with all of it and realizes that while he's more or less being treated like a sugar baby, he's totally fine with that and rolls with it.

10. What two songs, two books and two luxury items do they take to a desert island?

....I literally have nothing for this, sorry guys.

23. Where is their favourite place to be together?

Peter's loft, it's a fancy and luxurious place and it's super private so the two can have all the loud, kinky sex they want with no one to judge.

dick/bruce

1, 6, 23, 15, 19, 7, 10, 26

1. Who makes the first move and how?

Dick did and has to work hard to make sure Bruce sees him as an adult and not the boy with who he was partnered with. It takes some time and lots of flirting and getting caught on purpose with men for Bruce to finally snap and take Dick up on his offer.

6. Who would they ask if they ever had a threesome?

Clark. Bruce wouldn't trust anyone else with Dick and himself but Clark and he does want to see Dick spread out and fucked stupid on Clark's big cock. It's a nice image he wants to come true.

23. Where is their favourite place to be together?

On the rooftops, flying across Gotham together, with no crime, just the two of them.

15. When they watch a film what do they choose and why? Who gets the final vote?

Dick always gets first and final vote, it's always him who suggests the movie night and Bruce is fine with whatever because it means that He gets to hold Dick close and hope that the movie night turns into a make-out session.

19. Where do they go on their first date?

Sitting on the top of Wayne Tower, feet dangling and watch the sun set/rise.

7. What do they get up to on a night out?

They try to go out to do something normal, but it ends with them in uniform fighting crime and then a quickie in an alleyway before heading home.

26. Why do they need to have a serious chat?

Usually, before a mission that there is chance, it could go wrong, undercover or off world.

Injustice Imperfect

Hey there, long log-in queues. I hope your day's going well. Hope your computer's not being ungodly slow and frustrating. Anyways, either way, I'm prepared to make your life worse for a few minutes by reviewing another issue of Teen Titans~

Here's the cover:

Ah, Superboy vs. Superboy. A time-honored DC tradition. Look, the New 52 did a lot of awful things I will never forgive, but the one thing I will be glad for is that Superboy-Prime stopped being a thing. Don't make him a thing again, DC. Okay, what else... Bunker doesn't even get the courtesy of being unconscious on this cover. In fact, unconscious teenagers on a fiery, rocky landscape has really become a recurring theme of the covers in this series. And yes, I am going to count both Villains Month covers as contributing, because it's more petty~

So the comic starts with Tim Drake, Cassie, and Superboy appearing from some cavern water. It also starts with those caption boxes that aren't assigned to a character but just an omniscient narrator. In fact, they're so omniscient, they inform us that Superboy's name, Kon, comes from a Kryptonian word that means "abomination". Okay, fuck you, comic. In the original timeline, Kon-El was a fun name that A) showed Superman considered Superboy part of the House of El--i.e. his family, and 2) was an anagram of "klone". It was fun. You don't need to saddle this kid with angst and retcon his name into an insult.

Also stupid in this scene is that while I believe Tim Drake, as a Robin, would have his own breathing mask, I don't believe Cassie's magical armour would somehow provide that for her. Anyways, we're still following up on the fallout from Forever Evil, where Johnny Quick caused the Titans to be un-stuck in time and start Quantum Leaping. We thought we solved this last issue, with Raven glomming onto everyone's souls with her powers, but I guess not! In fact, the narrator even tells us such. And that's why these three are now in yet another alternate future.

So, where even are they? Well, it appears to be the Batcave, all collapsed and ruined. The giant playing card gives it away. Tim came here in the hopes of using Batman's tech to help find Solstice or guide Raven somehow, but with it in this state, probably out of luck. Know what they do find? Batman's corpse, held in a glass coffin. I hope nobody's waiting for him to get a kiss from a prince to revive him, because he is dessicated and his ribs are showing. That's a fucking cheery image, eh? And just to brighten the mood further, they find a pile of ashes Tim identifies as Alfred.

The computer system recognises Alfred's name being spoken aloud as a passcode and activates a recording (Superboy thinks his telekinesis did it, but that doesn't even begin to make sense), which is a message from Batman to the Justice League, telling them he'll delay "him" here to give them time to save the children.

Anyway, it also activates an instant teleporter, beaming the Titans up to the Justice League satellite base. And the scene just kinda jumps. Like, it feels like you missed a page, because the Titans are hanging out with Future!Beast Boy (Beast Man?). Seriously, there's no transition, other than an image of the JLA satellite. Beast Man is also properly green in this timeline, so I don't know how they even recognised him. Beast Man's the only Justice Leaguer left. But that's okay, because he's helping train a new version of the Teen Titans, who we get to see arguing with each other during a Danger Room session.

Rose Wilson is also helping train them (though they accidentally colour her blonde instead of white-haired in one panel). One of the students, a guy named Blur, notices they're being observed (thereby changing their quantum states), and recognises one of them. Apparently the sight of Superboy is enraging enough to make him forget his training and try and attack Superboy right then and there. He's shouting about all the lives Superboy has taken, the Movement in Coral City, and of course Superboy has no idea what he's talking about.

Rose knocks Blur out, apologising on his behalf, blaming stress and PTSD for the kids' current emotional states. Beast Man asks to talk with Tim alone, and the other two time-displaced Titans wander off to mull over things on their own. Superboy whines to himself a bit that Beast Man asking to talk to Tim alone obviously means he's not really part of this team, and maybe not even part of the human race. And while he's brooding, suddenly he gets kind of a telepathic summons. He replies to someone named "Jon", and flies off to another confrontation.

In the meantime, Beast Man takes Tim to a secret room full of discarded bits of superhero costumes and armour, where he reveals that a while back, it seemed like Superman's son, Jonathan Kent, died and the bad guy just disappeared. More recently, suddenly Jonathan reappeared and started killing everyone he could find. So this isn't Superboy, but the guy Superboy was cloned from. This makes him way more powerful. And the reason Beast Man is telling Tim all this? Because right after Tim returned from the future, he told Beast Boy they would meet in the future and it was important to tell him all this. Friggin' causality~

While Cassie breaks into someplace with security, Jon shows up to fight Superboy. Jon vs Kon, eh? Well, let's get L-Ron, Non, and Ion in on this too. Maybe next round. Anyways, Jon implants his memories and stuff into Superboy, so he can feel all the kills he performed. He slams Superboy into... I wanna say it's the moon? It's probably the moon. Superboy turns this around and slams Jon all the way down into the Moon's molten core, where they continue fighting and trading rants. It's basically a mirror match.

Tim asks Beast Man why he would even trust what he's being told right now. He barely knows Beast Boy back in his own time. Beast Man has some good arguments: He's the only one still alive, because this plan was Tim's idea, and oh yeah, because Tim trusted him with his biggest secret--his secret identity. That's a pretty good argument. Meanwhile, Cassie enters an old records room, but it's more like a wreck-ords room now. She finds a leftover recording of Tim in a beaten-up state, saying they were betrayed by one of their own and numerous Titans are dead.

Cassie's pretty distraught by this message, saying some things about the future, no one should know. Raven suddenly appears, agreeing with that sentiment. And when Tim comes in, it's pretty heavily implied that Raven used her powers to erase Cassie's memory of the last couple minutes, since she doesn't remember even coming in this room. Raven can explain Cassie's woozy state as an adverse reaction to her presence, since the Silent Armor was made to fight her father, Trigon. Tim agrees tha this makes sense. So they've got another friend back in the flesh. Hey, anybody seen Superboy?

Jon and Superboy are continuing their slugfest in the moon's core. Superboy bursts out of the moon, using his powers to anchor them in place. Essentially, they stop but the momentum of the universe continues. This allows Superboy to impale Jon on the spikes on the JLA satellite. Then suddenly Superboy disappears, with a caption promising to reveal his destination in some other comic, on sale now. Well, that's a bit anti-climatic. I never read whatever that issue was, so I have no idea what happens to Superboy after this~

So, what about Jon here? Beast Man goes out and retrieves Jon's body, patching him up and swapping out his costume for a copy of Superboy's. Since they're identical and Jon's unconscious, there's no real way to tell he's not Superboy. The Titans are none the wiser, and they decide to dip back into the timestream to go find Kid Flash and Solstice. They bid Beast Man and Rose farewell, and the comic ends with Rose asking him if they did the right thing by swapping the Superboys. Beast Man simply says he sure hopes so. Yeah, kind of so do we!

This isn’t, like, a great issue or anything. But it’s certainly better than last week’s. This is probably pretty much what they wanted to do with last week’s, but they only had a regular issue’s length to tell the story, so it turned into a disjointed mess. Otherwise, since this is just some alternate future, I don’t really care about this issue! The only thing you really need to know about it is that the Superboy in any future issue is now secretly the psychopathic Jonathan Kent. But at least everything wasn’t better on his Earth~
