I can't believe they keep bringing Superboy Prime back after his character assassination by Geoff Johns.I just saw a pic of cover depicting Superboy Prime fighting the Batman Who Laughs. Can they like both lose somehow?
Honestly, I dunno why they don't bring him back more when babyrage Superboy Prime is some great shitI can't believe they keep bringing Superboy Prime back after his character assassination by Geoff Johns.
I don't really get this? Like, there are near countless bad-Supermans out there doing bad shit long before Johns was a writer. Hell, there was an entire website dedicated to cataloging them. (I miss Superdickery) Seems also like a prescient kind of theme you'd want to discuss in your tales of heroism as well, with regards to villains appropriating heroic/noble imagery for their own nefarious ends.(perpetrated by somebody wearing a S shield, no less)
It doesn't hold a candle to this:My favorite Superboy Prime moment is when the guy shows up powered by the Anti-Monitor and a Yellow Power Ring in Sinestro Corp Wars, and the whole Super-Fam converges to take out the trash like, "Fuck this guy, he ain't one of us!" And all he can do is throw a supertantrum going, "Nooooo ur the fakes!!!" What an excellent villain. He's like a modern Bizarro.
My problem with Prime is that Johns took a character defined by his naiveness and made him a psychotic killer. While I could forgive that, his power level and Johns glee at staging battles between his action figures translates into lots of senseless and graphical violence and the useless and explicit death of a lot of C and B listers (perpetrated by somebody wearing a S shield, no less). I think it represents everything that is bad at DC's execution of the big superhero event in a nutshell.
Holup, is this the first introduction of Owlman!?
