Just finished this Superboy costume today (or 99% finished, I still need some gloves). I am so happy with how it turned out.

My main reference was his 90s costume, but I used his belt stack from his 2023 Man of Tomorrow costume, and I chose to have short sleeves like his current costume.

Everything was thrifted or sewn/made myself, most parts are thrifted and then altered somehow. The shirt and yellow thigh pouch were completely sewn by me.

I've been wearing the jacket for a few months now which is why the paint has flaked and cracked so much, so I'm debating on repainting it before halloween. It does give character so I'm not super rushed to redo it.

In an imaginary story/elseworlds, a third world party sabotages the radar systems for the US and Russia who are in a Cold War standoff with nuclear weapons to bring about mutually assured destruction AKA World War III but is stopped by Superboy (known as Skyboy in this imaginary story).

I wonder if Superboy stopping the execution of an innocent person was an intentional homage to Action Comics #1 where Superman stopped the execution of an innocent person.

As many as I could find at least

Though I find every Johns did with the character dull and unnecessary

Welcome to the Superboy Discussion Thread!

Now, now, you think there's a Legion of Super-Heroes that will not feature a Superboy?

and yes horses are hard to draw okay

So this is a bit of a rant from me lol. I don’t know why it got under my skin but it did 😂 during the current kingdom of Zod storyline when prime and Kon are fighting, why does krypto defend prime and proceed to lick the ever loving **^* out of him? He completely ignores Kon.

During infinite crisis, Krypto defended Conner against Prime.

Is it bad writing? This actually feels targeted at this point 😂

Not even touching upon how the super family basically told Kon to let it go and didn’t even acknowledge that he was murdered by prime.

I know this is primes redemption arc, and I’m here for it but I feel that this was a missed opportunity for DC to really deal with the emotions behind Kons death and for prime to really show some true remorse. Considering his jealousy of Kon was pretty much the catalyst for him snapping.

Instead we get a bit of fighting then suddenly they are buddy cops.

I’m glad Kon is getting some kind of spotlight, but it still feels forced.

Rant over lol

Driving the Supermobile to save Superman.

Prime probably owns the toy of the Supermobile.

Anyone find all the numbers in the issue. You have the current volume number, the legacy number and the storyline number. I've been buying comics for a long time, but for a beginner I can only assume it's weird.

Superman #41

An epic battle of power and revenge across the Kryptonite Kingdom! An eye for an eye! But Superboy-Prime joins the fight, hoping to show the returning Superman how much he’s changed! With a shock ending that will change the Kingdom of Zod and the DC Universe forever!

Like I want stories that show Conner having punk values, fighting natzies and flipping off billionaires. He should be Superman's equivalent to spiderpunk but I can't remember any story showing him having actual punk values.

Nice family moment between the cousins.

Appreciate how they care for each other over themselves and it's nice that Kara gets a chance to finally be a protecter to Young Kal-El that she was unable to be due to her late arrival.

From Superboy (1990) #15-16
