  He may have killed people, but he also brought Jason back to life...<br><br>...and Jason killed a bunch of people, so he&apos;s responsible for even more death than you thought

  &quot;Superman, Superman. Doing anything a Super can. Punch a bad guy, any size. You&apos;re in for a big surprise. Watch out, here comes a Superman&quot;<br>- Superboy Prime, I&apos;m not joking...

  I wasn&apos;t a fan of them making Superboy/Superman Prime evil in the first place, so I&apos;m glad they&apos;re reversing that. I really hope they make him encounter all the people he killed. Even though all the countless continuity reboots restored them to life, they still remember and they&apos;re not going to be happy with him being around.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOkwkiJx77Y&amp;t=190">3:10</a> - 90s edgy vs 2000s edgy is basically: &quot;THIS IS SO COOL!&quot; vs &quot;THIS CAN BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!&quot;<br><br>Edginess as a hedonistic expression versus an insecure expression. (Or maybe I&apos;m just overthinking this)

  most new fans probably dont even know what prime has done. but i am seeing a lot of love for his current portrayal so i hope he keeps going like this. and we get a gwenpool/prime crossover

  On one hand, Superboy Prime is easily one of the biggest monsters in all of comic history.<br>But on the other hand, he clearly wanted none of it to begin with, and he has everything he ever wanted. <br>I&apos;m split on this tbh.

  Him becoming evil made sense to me, and his over the top energy I liked, but it went too &quot;extreme&quot; and way too immature so I&apos;m glad it&apos;s course correcting.

  Need to see him meet Conner. Actually, WHAT THE HELL is Conner even doing right now?

  I do think its a bit endearing how much of a fan he is in some regards, especially the level of reverence he has for Lois, and how both she and mainline superman serve as his guides even if its to operate in Clark&apos;s shadow while he&apos;s gone. I am excited where they take things with him, and so far I&apos;m glad they&apos;re not making him into Deadpool, it&apos;d be very easy to I&apos;d think

  Superboy Prime will always have a special place in my heart. Carving the S in his chest as a &quot;moment&quot; ranks up there with the Venom Symbiote pounding on the glass tube after Reed Richards traps him in there.
