I feel that this is kind of muddied a little bit. I think with Golden/Silver Age, it was neat having a Superboy in Smallville fighting crime, a friendship with Lex Luthor, initial love in Lana Lang, his time with the Legion. It all adds to the mythology of Superman. But Post-Crisis, it all gets tossed aside or shoved under the rug. Why did it need to be? Instead we get glimpses of his time in Smallville, but it needs further exploration. If he wasn't Superboy before coming to Metropolis, what was he? I feel like the Superboy stuff should be reinstated.
