Rat

super duper teamwork go!!

He's actively pretending he's young Jon because he thinks he'll be sent away if they find out. He has night terrors about his own father, he doesn't miss his family, and he's so eager to be good.

His father actively tried to make him Ultraman Jr. and the second he's pulled away from that he just wants to hug his non-evil mom and help people. This poor fucking child.

he lashes out because he's scared of being trapped again. he's an eleven year old who inhabits the mantle of Superboy so he can be safe from more abuse and imprisonment. And he's right to. People inherently distrust him. He's not safe.

But Jon chooses him. He not only reaffirms his own self worth and choices he's made, keeping the life he has now, he also proves to this scared child he's worth saving. He isn't pretending to be Superboy, he is Superboy. He's proven that with the choices he's made
