What do you think of the various Superboy Title Logos?

Which are your favorites?

If you wanted, which logo would you pick for Superboy as a whole?

If you wanted, which logo would you assign to each Superboy?

I’ve been trying to get back into comics recently & I’ve become slightly obsessed with learning interesting facts about various superheroes & I wanted to ask the community for their strangest facts! Anything from what could’ve been, obscure characters, strange facts, anything you have I would like to know!

Here we have Superboy vs King Shark at Happy Harbour Beach!

Based off his first appearance with his classic design. The Background is of Bondi Beach from Sydney Australia, I just added Mount Justice in the background.

(Action Comics #1100)

The entire storyline doesn't read to me like SP is actually sorry for what he did, just sorry that he got beaten and had to suffer consequences.

He never actually apologizes, he's condescending and dismissive when it comes to his victims' rather understandable feelings of distrust and fear towards him and he acts like he's entitled to start over because sometimes he feels sorta bad about all the mass murder and torture he's committed.

What's worse, characters like Power Girl and Superboy (Conner Kent) who are very much justified in hating this guy are basically browbeaten into dropping their grudge by the narrative or portrayed as big bad meanies who won't give poor widdle Superboy Prime a chance.

I'm sorry, did we just... forget why everyone fought to get rid of this guy in the first place? He didn't just do an oopsie and kicked somebody's dog. He murdered dozens of heroes, some of which haven't come back btw, despite what Mr. Diet Deadpool says. He laid waste to entire cities. He tried to destroy the universe.

TL; DR Superboy Prime's character and redemption arc do not work for me for a number of reasons and the lack of actual accountability is just one of them.

Infinite Crisis #6.

From New Adventures of Superboy #31

It's AI, remaking an ugly fan comic made with 3D rendered artwork and written by a young teen me self from a few years back. It's bound to be bad. Also I completely understand if it gets deleted cause, well, it's AI.

The original, it's still up on Deviantart (of course), but I couldn't remember if I posted it on Reddit, I might have thought it looked too ugly to do so. I repeat, it's ugly.

Explanation: Before AI generated images were passable enough to be controversial, I was very interested in the technology behind it, not so much the product, but the science, how neural networks and adversarial training and what not. However, I had a lot more fun modelling 3D clothes, painting textures, sculpting from bases on Blender and just building things, Jon's room was actually my first environment I did entirely on my own. But it was ugly, REALLY ugly, but that didn't matter cause the fun in the process was what made it work. It also took a long, long time.

Now, I've done this replacement of the original art with AI generated images. Just to see how much the technology has progressed. Can't say I'm impressed, granted these were done with publicly available free models, but it loves to hallucinate and lose context even though it was right in front of it. Of all things to be said about the original, inconsistent it wasn't, as all scenes were actually built in a 3D space.

I did correct some typos and grammar cause kid me wasn't really thinking of that, the whole thing was done in the Marvel method so that I just thought of a scene and later added dialogue.

This one was surprisingly quick to be done, and maybe terrifyingly fast, even though the output was low resolution (not paying for it, strictly free stuff). Of course it was basically just basing on existing art that took weeks to pose and even more time to model.

Also, the generated images rip actual art style, but it's locked to it, it's just what the models default to, so there really isn't a lot of visual creativity even if you want to input it.

Am I the only one who remembers when Kon-El (Conner Kent) was our Superboy, and Krypto was right there by his side?

While most people recognize Krypto as Superman’s super-powered dog from Krypton, I’m referring to the version of Krypto from the ‘90s Superman and Superboy comics. This was the regular white Earth dog associated with Kon-El and Bibbo (I miss this guy too!).

For those of us who grew up with that era of DC Comics, Kon-El was THE Superboy, and that version of Krypto was an integral part of his world. It’s a shame that these comic ideas, such as Supergirl, Lex Luther II, and Superman being the only pure Kryptonian, were overshadowed by their higher sales figures.

How the Pre-Crisis Superman as Superboy learned to fly and realized he didn't need to breathe air.

I also like the inclusion of "Up, Up, and Away!"

From Adventure Comics #215

Superboy (Young Kal-El/Clark Kent) finds himself a hobby in collecting rocks, rocks from across the universe that is.

Marker sketch commission I recently did of one of my favorite members of the Super-fam. Connor does not get nearly enough love anymore - it's hard out there for the Young Justice generation.

Welcome to the Superboy Discussion Thread!

Who'd have thought, this week our Superboy have a Prime time in an anthology.

DC's Quoth the Raven..."Whatever"

Welcome, foolish mortals. Not far from the shores of Gotham City, when the nights grow long, the leaves turn red, and a certain crisp chill comes into the air on a twilight lit by the full moon, the lives of heroes and antiheroes from Raven to Swamp Thing, Constantine, Zatanna, Deadman, and more…turn toward the strange and unusual, the occult and delightful, the odd and the audacious. For those looking to give themselves a good, warm dose of the shivers, this anthology of scary stories to tell in the dark is the perfect assortment of fairy tales for troubled times and troubled souls alike. Pick up a copy wherever needful things and comic books are sold. We think you’ll find it the perfect companion to your handbook for the recently deceased.
