After thinking about it I've decided on my next fan project - A What If Jon Kent Was Never Aged Up?
Premise
In this idea, I'll use a minor time skip of three years. Jon will be fourteen at the start of this story and about to enter high school (that he skipped these formative years in canon is a major missed opportunity, IMO). This series will be in the vein of other high school superhero dramas such as Static Shock, Smallville, Buffy, Ben Ten (latter part), Stargirl, and MHA. Damian, Maps, Kathy Branden, Clark, Lois, etc will be the main supporting cast. My biggest problem is who should be the villains? I'd rather avoid using a full roster of OCs in these roles ( may use a few but not many). Conversely, I don't want to rely too heavily on classic Superman or Batman villains as Jon (and to a lesser degree, Damian, Kathy, & Maps) should face his own foes. Are there are more obscure or underutilized villains I could use that would fit given my outline?
I am a firm believer in the old adage it is better to think of a solution than simply complain about something, thus I'm putting my money where my mouth is.
Thanks in advance everyone for the input and any other general advice you can offer.
