Jon Kent/Superman/Superboy Appreciation 2022

[The Invincible Beawulf]

The daughters from Secret Identity would be my ideal take on the colors. The yellow dominating with the cape, the red pants, and then the blue top in the middle.

Just not the yellow cape, I find it very ugly!

However, I could imagine a more yellow type of suit for Jon, yellow boots for example. Just not a fully yellow cape.

Funny you should mention that because in Bendis' Legion Future State they did at one point get very, very close to GREATLY switching up not just Jon's look but the colors too.

Jon's the one in tan next to Saturn Girl. You can see that his "cape" is more like a rain poncho, and the S shield on the "cape" is in the front and is only visible when the two halves meet. And under the poncho he has a second S shield but in a different color. He also has a bunch of neat stickers and patches on him.

Honestly-- while, yes, it's a pretty "out there" look for a Superman-- I do think it's the most "Jon" look that Jon has had since he was a kid. There's so much personality to this look. There's flare to it that isn't flamboyant like Conner, but kind of "skater boy-ish" in the same way that Jon's sneakers and ripped jeans were. But on top of that it also denotes a sort of "scrapbook" feel that is appropriate for someone who would've by then seen the galaxy in two diffrent time periods. Jon strikes me as the kind of kid who would wear a bunch of stickers and pins that remind him of all he's done. Like a Fortress of Solitude that he wears. I think it's a really fresh and modern take on the look.

It should be noted; hoodies and ponchos are VERY different things. In general, wearing a hoodie? Sure. I can see a modern hero wearing it if need be. A poncho? Especially that kind? I'm normally not one to criticize fashion choices, but wow is that fugly. Not just ugly, but fugly.

Smh!People hating on ponchos..Hoodies suck!!Big time!

Still a fan of the capeless look myself. Wonder if they ever considered switching up the color scheme for Jon as well? Something other than his dad’s traditional red and blue color scheme?

I also like the capeless look on Jon, it is more youthful.

I do like the attempt at something different but I don't think it works for me, I feel like the yellow and brown may be too dull but the rain poncho is interesting.

Yeah this is what I think is being set up right now. Hope it happens.

The only person Taylor has not used yet in his crossovers is Yara, and I feel that will happen sooner rather than later.

[Vordan]

I’m expecting Yara to cross over with Jon at some point. Will Ridley let Jace meet the other two I wonder?

[Journey]

Their been any word of a new artist coming cause theirs only so much more I can take.

Probably depends on what Ridley is doing in terms of establishing Jace as the Batman of NYC. I'd probably expect Taylor to write the story first, seeing as Ridley probably wants to establish his Jace foundation post-Fear State.

Mikel Janin was supposed to take over Action but instead that didn’t happen. Makes me wonder if he’ll be on SSOKE instead. No sign that Timms is getting replaced so far however.

Yeah Taylor is being the first one to have a FS Trinity member interact with the wider DCU in their solo.

[Superboy-Prime]

I would've just titled the thread 'Jon Kent: Superman'. That'd really get the people going!

Nah! everyone's quiet.Also jon needs a pet badly..How come no writer is working on that...Get him a giant dragon or something.
I like the polar bear idea..But,the bear is just normal..I mean, wouldn't he get squished or something during battles and junk

[The Frog Bros]

+1 more for capeless Jon. Generally speaking I dig the FS look, although I'd dial back the belt a bit and make it more sleek.

[Vordan]

Looks like Bendis is writing Jon again. Hinting at Jon officially joining the League?

Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!

[Morgoth]

It probably has something to do with Legion.

I don't know why but my brain just immediately went to a joke of Jon going "don't stare at shirtless Aquaman"

Because Jon has a boyfriend right now and here's Aquaman just running around without a shirt 75% of the time right now, seems like a good time for a joke like that.
