Conner Kent/Kon-El/Superboy Appreciation 2023

It might be a little awkward if Lori shows up

That was weird. At that same time Conner was having thoughts about Kara too. The Superman editor at the time really had a thing for kissing cousins.

Wait, Kara? We talking when he met the Pre-Crisis Kara who he didn't realize was actually related to him or another time?

Nope, this was in adventure comics, Black Lantern Kon was trying to get under Cassie’s skin during their fight. While Kon was fighting the ring’s control, the ring revealed to Cassie that he thinks about Kara instead of her.

Why can't some ideas just stay dead?

Hey. You can find your cousin pretty hot as long as you don’t go for it!

Seems like a pretty obvious Black Lantern lie to me haha but got it, their whole thing is lying to rile up their enemies

This depends where you are. In the UK, cousins marrying is legal. I'm sure it is in at least part of the US too.

Well, Lori was Lena's daughter so she might not even exist anymore.
Unless Lex named his daughter after his sister... which would be very confusing, but not something unheard of in the DC universe (Like the Flash family and their Bartholomews and Wallaces).

And Irises, there's two Iris Wests, Wally's aunt and daughter. At least they all have different nicknames. Iris Sr is the only one who doesn't have one, the kid is Irey. The Wallaces are Wally and Ace, the Bartholomews are Barry and Bart. It's not even just the Flashes - there's two Jonathan Kents too - Clark's adoptive father, and his and Lois's son.

Not quite.

We also read the thoughts of the real Conner at that time. He mentioned there was enough truth on Black Lantern Conner words to hurt Cassie

So, Black Lantern Conner is likely exagerating, but not lying.

I'm glad to see that horrible red thing on his hair is now long gone.

It wasn't the original explanation, because Superboy's TTK existed even before his retcon to have Kryptonian DNA.

I think it has never been explained why Conner has TTK powers, but it doesn't seem to be related to Kryptonian powers. I remember a story when he lost the Kryptonian powers, but he mantains his TTK (to fight Zod).

It would be interesting to know the explanation to his TTK powers.

Actually its this way:

TTK is a his sort of META-HUMAN POWER, so he doesnt need sunlight for it.

In one of the early Superboy Stories, there was a suneater and so Superman lost his powers, but Conner (TTK Conner only) still had his powers.
There was another Situation (if I remember right it was NEW KRYPTON) so there were Krypton Conditions, so Kryptonians lost their powers, but he still had TTK.

Kon is in issue 1 and already seems close with Ace and Avery.....(but what about Bart.......)

Conner was shown gazing lustily at Kara as recently as this summer's Swimsuit special.

Preview shows that not happening.
