If everything is still canon...

[williamtheday]

then Humpty Dumpty The Hobby Robber was Superman's (when he was a boy) first recurring villain. Sorry, Ultra and Luthor!

Also if EVERYTHING is canon then... Scorch smothering a nuclear explosion is canon, as is the Burning Martian kicking Superman's ass.

I think they're kind of walking that one back.

The Burning Martians specifically or the "everything is canon" idea?

The everything's canon idea. I think someone on another thread said they kind stopped the "they remember everything" part.

Anyway, Clark being Superboy is one thing that has not been returned to continuity. Doomsday Clock's finale and Bendis's Legion of Super-Heroes were quite clear about that. It's actually why the previous version of Saturn Girl was erased in Doomsday Clock.

If everything is canon, I reject the current continuity and substitute my own.

How so? Doomsday Clock specifically showed Clark being Superboy in Smallville as a teenager and Bendis's LSH specifically referenced Clark as Superboy.

The retcon happened near the end of Doomsday Clock, Saturn Girl was erased (and replaced by the current one) because the reality in which Superboy joined the Legion was erased. Bendis's LOSH specifically references that the rebooted team wanted Jon, not Clark, and Clark was NOT a Legionnaire.

Clark's post-Crisis origin seems to be the canon one now.

If everything is canon, that means Mr. Mxyzptlk would remember everything, probabaly hate some of it, and have erased it from happening already so it's no longer canon.

Me too. Superboy is Superman when he was a boy and the original Legion stories still happened.

Since continuity is going to change every two weeks anyway, I might as well have a solid continuity for myself.

Now that Superman knows about him, I have no doubt he has the Martian's number

also this convo reminded me of that paradox that Jon as "Superman" is younger than Conner as Superboy.

Bill Finger created Hobby Robber, so he can be one of Batman's "lame" villains. Maybe have the Current Humpty his son.

does he though? time will tell I guess.
