Two issues into American Alien and I am convinced that Max Landis could do some interesting things with Superboy. If I were to do a Superboy series, first and foremost I would have Kon or Con (?) act like a kid. Sure, you're a superhero, but that doesn't mean you should stop being being a kid. Have some fun. Being an adult kinda sucks.
OffTopic: Is there any way he could be retconned as a full blown Kryptonian? I never liked clones.
