"People’s Dreams... Have No Ends"
Well, I don't think everyone has voted, but so far, yeah.
Young Adult Jon S! Kent has had ups and downs, but I like him way more than Kid Jon. He exerted you much narrative gravity in my opinion, to the point where he was more the main character than his Dad was. By virtue of having his own separate narratives spaces, in which he can be the main character, Young Adult Jon doesn't have the same problem.
"You know the deal, Metropolis. Treat people right or expect a visit from me."
Kid Jon had some stories I liked a lot, even if I ended up growing indifferent to the kid halfway through Rebirth.
I can't think of a single teen Jon story I like besides maybe Future State: Superman of Metropolis (and that's a big "maybe").
So kid Jon, though I would have seriously considered voting "neither" if such an option existed.
To be fair, he didn't have to be youg adult for that.For me so far,Young adult jon has been boring.It's likr superman's worst qualities being pumped with bland quality storytelling.
And i am not of the mind that young adult jon can't be good or viceversa kid jon is alway top notch storytelling.
"People’s Dreams... Have No Ends"
Kid Jon 100%.
If he has to exist at all, that is.
I don't necessarily dislike Superdad, but I absolutely do not want Superdad to become the standard across all media. So much so that I'll happily take another hard reboot (rumored to be happening anyway) in a few years.
Kid Jon. Because DC has so many super-powered teens, and Kon fits that role just fine. So Jon being a kid means there's a wider variety of stories possible in the Super-Verse... for a writer that's not too lazy to write kids (which is most of them).
The amount of lost story potential is just insane.

Kid Jon all day long every day. It is a no contest for me.
The only thing, IMO, Teen Jon has that Kid Jon doesn't is Jay, and let's face facts, Jay (currently, he could always improve in the future with good writing, who knows) is a less exciting version of Classic Gwen Stacy. He's an extremely boring two-dimensional "perfect" character who contributes little if anything of value to the plot other than serving as the generic love interest. He's DC's NyQuil....

"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
This would be the perfect place for that "Why not both?" meme.
I enjoy Jon as a kid a little more, but I like both versions of the character.

CW John is the version I clicked with so technically teen.
