But looking at the canon texts. Timothy cannot have a single even happen without somehow making it about Conner.

misc images because idk they could be relevant. i just keep thinking about them.

For those of you that love and miss our clone boy, here are some highlights to convince you to go back and read his series(or start it!):

Introduction of King Shark. For those of you that may not know or forgot, King Shark was originally a Superboy villain.

You guys love the Krypto from the Supergirl movie? Well he's pretty similar to the Krypto in this series. Gonna start keeping a count of how many times Superboy gets slammed to the ground by puppy love.

Geeky Superboy! He's so obsessed with TV shows, references 90210 and NYPD Blue among others quite often!

Also, Young Justice Superman has nothing on the version we get here. For those of you that may not know, the original version of Superboy wasn't even Clark's clone! (The whole half Superman half Lex thing was cooked up when they revamped his origin story.) But Clark still took the time to name him, teach him about Krypton, and even invited him to come live with the Kents. It's not the perfect fanfiction scenario I know a lot of us wanted for Kon, but I actually quite like how Superman interacts with Superboy in this series. Kon's independence is important to him, and I appreciate Clark recognizing that and offering guidance and support without being overbearing to Kon.

"oh but he's 50/50 their DNA" child birth/development and genetics it's far more complicated than just being 50/50 two people, a child isn't the same as a clone for multiple reasons.

Now for Kon standards: Lex calls himself his dad purely to manipulate him, it's disgusting and creepy, why would Kon see him as his actual dad for this? As for superman, Clark never wanted a child when Kon existed, this should be enough but for some reason it's not. Kon didn't need a dad either because he had a bunch of father figures on the Cadmus Lab already, he made it clear he didn't see superman as a father, this isn't just the writers way to separate them, it's what works better for him as a character and his story, it just makes sense he would think that.

I understand that there was quite literally no other option but it’s how ready he was to blow his brains out and even making a joke about in his presumed last moments is actually insane to me. Like ever heard of this wonderful thing called therapy? I genuinely think someone should put him on some type of watch list jesus christ .

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to better but when you self deprecate a lot it tends to show in how you carry yourself and how willingly you are to get hurt and mind you he had NO powers at this point.
