As things inDC continuity "eh noyes......we'll wait until our lawyer tell us"

but in honestly it all up to the writer to decide at this point as there various contradicting origin stories that telling like the current origin is the John Byrne’s The Man of Steel i believe in Williamson run

Secret Origin is the current “canon” origin with elements of Birthright included too. Lex and Clark knew each in Smallville which rules out the Byrne origin, pretty much the only thing not canon from SO is that Clark was a member of the Legion of Superheroes.

I'm 80% certain he was Superboy.

Unstoppable Doom Patrol referenced Smallville as the home of Superboy (Clark) so yeah that’s “canon”.

They seem to be moving further and further away from Johns' origin. It's possible that the DP writers were just going off what they assumed was his current origin. Look at what they did to PG. They literally seem to be making it up as they go along.

At this point I don't even remember clearly who is alive in what origin, but I think that in SO Lex didn't have family members who were still alive?

He killed his dad for the life insurance to leave Smallville, and he did have a sister, so I think SO still “fits” minus the Legion stuff.

The fact that we don't know what his origin is is part of the problem with DC right now.

Wonder how different (or similar?) of an origin we’ll get in Absolute…

It took me a minute to realize that's not Diana. I wish DC had an in-house guide for artist to follow.
