How long till superboy prime...

[dmor173]

How long till superboy prime becomes a chump?

It always happens in comics. New villian comes out and makes a huge impact, then in a few years gets taken out to put a new hero over.

Doomsday killed superman and got taken out in two panels in IC.

Promethus took out JLA and got owned by batman in the next meeting.

and in marvel thanos (who, i will remind you, did destroy half the universe) got taken out by kazar. Freaking Kazar!

I think it wont be for a year or two, but it will be Bart Allen as the flash that does it. Just to show us that he is up there with Wally in terms of power.

Either that or it will be one guy who slows him down way longer than he should. like if hal fought him for a bit before back up arrived, even thoug he killed like 33 green lanterns in IC.

What do you guys reckon?

[Aquaman]

I hope not.

I thought SBP was pretty sweet when he first showed up, up until he was just ****ing crazy. I actually felt sympathy for him when he punched that woman's head out of existence while still trying to convey that he was the good one.

I'd love to see him come back and just destroy more ****. Have him return even stronger somehow, with less reality-wall punching.

I'd even like to see Robin and him throwdown, since Robin's sorta been crazy with the trying to clone SB. Getting a chance for Robin to take out his frustrations would be sweet.

[warren_sparta27]

i think he's a pretty good villian, can't wait to they use him again, hopefully it's in 52?

[warren_sparta27]

cept Tim would be killed against SBP, even though he has come along way with his fighting skills OYL he still wouldn't have a chance in hell.

[dmor173]

i think there should be an editorial rule that noone can touch the character for at least five years.

he is completly badass and will get a 'holy sh**' reaction from any fan next time he shows up.

I wouldnt mind him being in the periphery in a GL book, acknowledging that he is still on Oa, or even a mini series about what happened in the speed force, but i think there going to have to resolve where wally is first.

[dmor173]

also i think tim stepping up to sbp would be great, like captain america and thanos in infinity gauntlet, but he would get beaten so fast it would be between panels.


unless tim somehow gets to Oa, walks into his cell, drops his utility belt on the ground and says something like 'you killed my best friend and now im going to give you something to cry about'

[Aquaman]

Eh. Honestly I could see Tim beating SBP, just like how Batman could beat Superman if he had to with some plot device like Kryptonite.

If there were ever a real fight though, Superman would just destroy Batman, IMO.

And I'm not even looking at it to see Robin beat SBP. I'd just like to see how he'd respond to seeing this SB.

SB Prime being mentioned in passing would be cool. Even just...seeing him every so often in a GL book would be cool.

[warren_sparta27]

that's if the GL book ever comes out on time :(

[Varient]

(smile)
I like the thought of Tim showing up on oa and whooping the Dog-water out of SBP.

I'm Petty like that.

[The Leaguer]

It wouldn't make any f***ing sense, though. Robin is like Batman minus ten, and Superboy Prime is like Superman plus one hundred.

[Darthphere]

When is the next retcon cycle? 5 years?

[GoldenAgeHero]

sbp is saved up for the thrid crisis.

[The Leaguer]

Someone at DC (possibly Stephen Wacker in a 5.2 on 52) mentioned that they already have planned what they want to do with Superboy Prime.

[GoldenAgeHero]

really?! thats awesome. but im still bitter after what they did too him, they completely bull****ted that character and forced him to be evil.

[The Leaguer]

They didn't "force" it, they showed his reasoning and the path he took towards what he became. And he wasn't even purely evil, they made it possible for you to sympathize with him.

Unlike Batgirl's recent ruining.

[Darthphere]

Wait I thought GA loved Super Emo Prime?!!!

[The Leaguer]

Wait I thought GA loved Super Emo Prime?!!!
Stop, you'll confuse him! He'll turn against himself and be ripped in half!

[GoldenAgeHero]

meh, i still say they should blame it on the anti-monitor. i mean how can you not?! why all of a sudden he comes back with the anti-monitor look and became all greyish in color with red glowing eyes?!

[Shawkur]

Because 98% of the main IC story was a sack of ****?

One of Sbp's punches should knock himself out of continuity.

Shut the **** up. :down

[boywondernerdDC]

Shut the **** up. :down

i agree

[The Leaguer]

Oooh, fighting words!

[Ben Urich]

I really don't care, to be honest. :o

[Shawkur]

Deep down you know I am right.

i understand what you are talking about. the doomsday thing kinda made me mad although it was really cool at the same time.

and seeing Tim hand SBP's ass to him while he is powerless would be awesome although unlikely

Deep down you know I am right.

and no you're not

[Stealth_Prime]

Say what you will, but I've always loved the concept of good guys turning into a bad guy. It kind of shows some continuity on the character. Loved how Lucas did the whole Anakin-Vader-back to Anakin at the end. I was looking forward to seeing that same formula done on Hal Jordan--instead we get this whole idiotic Hal was possessed kind of crap. so in essence if he wasn't possessed, he would still be how he was.

Sorry that doesn't work.

Superboy Prime turning bad was so awesome....yes I felt sorry for him, and even though he ripped through my team (Titans) like a hot knife through butter...I have to say....they were pretty much underused characters anyway, so it's okay....But I hope to see SBP more in the role of the villian before he searches for the path of redemption.
Although I seriously doubt DC would do that. SBP has all his powers still...he was never powerd down, like how Earth-1's current superman was. And before the Crisis of Infinite Earth---Earth 1's superman was just so powerful. And this is his Prime version counterpart....can we say....Earth is in tough dooh-dooh??? If DC really wanted to use SBP's character to its fullest potential....they should just have him break out of his cell....and like a guided missle head towards Earth ripping it in half as he enters from one side of the planet and out the other side. That's power! But no...knowing those DC guys...they'll have him team up with some lame villian who you know is just going to end up loosing at the end.
Sometimes, I am so pissed at DC for their lack of whatever you want to call talent. The above posts were right...start off with great villian characters then toss em to the cubs to be beaten. Ka-Zar??? Thanos lost to Ka-Zar!!! Okay I'm this close to dropping comics for good. Thank God, Flash is still a legacy character.

haha knock himself out of continuity... hahahaha thats funny. hahaha

I'm not a huge fan of sbp. I think he should've died or been seriously injured or something. I think they gave him too much juice. I wanted the antimonitor to be involved in his power. I don't know I wanted him to be more complex than a wussy emo kid.

[warren_sparta27]

you gotta be careful of those emo kids....anyone willing to act that that must be crazy and dangerous.

[Ben Urich]

Deep down you know I am right.

No :confused:
I enjoyed every panel of Infinite Crisis. :up:

[Doc Destruction]

Deep down you know I am right.

You're so far in the minority, you can't see straight.

[Darthphere]

No :confused:

What about that one pnael with the hippos?

[storyteller]

Superboy will be a chump when conner gets his ressurection story.

[Stealth_Prime]

Superboy will be a chump when conner gets his ressurection story.


Which will happen soon or eventually

[Eros]

Conner is dead, why bring back superboy when they have the much much more popular supergirl?

[ampersand]

Infinite Crisis sucked donkey balls.

[TheCorpulent1]

Conner is dead, why bring back superboy when they have the much much more popular supergirl?
Because although Supergirl is the more popular character, Conner is the better character? :confused:

[Shawkur]

Do Supergirl's comics sell well?

[TheCorpulent1]

Probably. They got a hack artist who draws really skinny chicks on it, and that seems to work for most comics with female leads.

Wait Supergirl has two ****ing titles?:eek: :( :mad: :down

[TheCorpulent1]

No, Supergirl has one title and her name on another, much better title to boost sales.

[Darthphere]

Ah, I see. SUpergirl has two ****ing titles?!?!?!?:( :mad: :( :mad: :up: :down :eek:

[The Leaguer]

Yeah, she goes by both "b****" and "airhead."

[TheCorpulent1]

Those aren't titles, they're her middle names. Super ***** Airhead Girl. :o

[The Leaguer]

Seriously, though, Supergirl is one of the most well-developed and deepest characters we've seen in decades. I, for one, would like to see her co-star in pretty much every book DC publishes, and most of Marvel's.

[TheCorpulent1]

She should be DC's Wolverine. In fact, she should kill Wolverine and be both DC and Marvel's Wolverine.

[The Leaguer]

She's going to add Thor's hammer, Cap's shield and Iron Man's armor to her super-hero-paraphernalia-that-she-should-never-be-able-to-use collection.

[TheCorpulent1]

Naturally. After she breaks off Wolverine's claws with ease and puts them between her toes, just for variety.

[The Leaguer]

Uh oh, she'll be invading on X-23's space!

[TheCorpulent1]

No, X-23 will always suck just slightly more than Supergirl. Her title remains safe.

[Darthphere]

No, X-23 will always suck just slightly more than Supergirl. Her title remains safe.


Man, thats harsh, what about Arana?

[TheCorpulent1]

Arana will always suck slightly less than Supergirl. At least they kinda tried something new with her. Plus, her arm had the best starring role for an appendage ever.

[The Leaguer]

Still not as bad as X-23.

[TheCorpulent1]

I covered that, thanks. Next time, maybe bring a watch along, huh? :rolleyes:

[Darthphere]

Damn, are we having conversations over 3 different threads?

[The Leaguer]

No. What are you, insane?

[Darthphere]

Yes.

[The Leaguer]

This is the Hype, I forgot. Of course you are.

[TheCorpulent1]

Damn, are we having conversations over 3 different threads?
I think it's only two. :o

[The Leaguer]

Learn to count.

[Darthphere]

Ok then.

[TheCorpulent1]

Learn to count.
I learned from the best, *****.

[Eros]

can we get back on topic, okay superboy is dead for good. Now super-boy prime has taken his place as the "superboy" charatcer. Besides superman didn't seem to shaken up when Superboy died, hell i bet he would scream his lungs out if his super-girl had died.

[Darthphere]

How does any of that change the facts that Supergirl sucks, Superboy Prime is a douche, and Superboy was superior to both of them in every way? :confused:

[The Leaguer]

Yeah, this is the Hype. That s*** doesn't fly.

[Eros]

all of these you opnions, Dc comics apprently doesn't feel that way. besides super-girl is back, shes a classic silver-age character i have heard.

[Knives122]

I'm not really sure how accurate this is, but everytime I read something with Conner in it, he was getting his ass kicked.(excluding the part where he got controlled by Lex).

There was only a couple of instances where he was superior(strength wise), but other then that he was the superior character between emo-boy and insecure about her place in the world-girl.

*waits*

[The Leaguer]

all of these you opnions, Dc comics apprently doesn't feel that way. besides super-girl is back, shes a classic silver-age character i have heard.
Actually, it's fact.

[TheCorpulent1]

Uh... no, the pre-Crisis Supergirl was a classic Silver Age character. The new Supergirl is a new character entirely, and a crappy one at that. And I said "facts" for a reason. 'Cause they are. And stuff.

Conner: Bye everyone.....Clark tell Ma kent i do give a damn. Tell Lois i stole her bra, and tell krypto i love........

Wondergirl-NOOOOOOOO!

[TheCorpulent1]

You forgot that Nightwing said, "That should've been me. Thank you, Bruce Jones!"

[The Leaguer]

Until his first issue came out, and then he said, "A male model? F*** you, Bruce Jones!"

[Ben Urich]

Is Dick a model now? :confused: :(

[Knives122]

You can thank the girl he's now ****ing

[Darthphere]

Is Dick a model now? :confused: :(


Sadly yes.

[Johnny Blaze]

You can thank the girl he's now ****ing
Heh, so he's introduced Little Richard to someone new? :D

[Darthphere]

Damn.

[Stealth_Prime]

Go Dick Go!!!! Although a model? well, things that make you go....."hmmmm"

He was stronger that Supergirl ?!
