How should Chris Kent die?

I don't know. I think a recent verdict was in the Siegels' favor, but I don't know if DC appealed it or whatever.

Other way around.

On July 27, 2007, the courts ruled in favor of Warner Bros' decision to appeal the previous ruling and dismissed some of the Siegel estate's claims about the Superboy character.

Oh. So it's still tied up in court, then. Not fully resolved either way, hence DC's continued avoidance of the Superboy name?
 
*shrug* Dunno. What's kinda funny is that way back in the immediately post-IC days, when the Siegels did legitimately have the upper hand in court, the name and character of Superboy was being thrown around a lot more than it is today, when apparently the judge was like "btch, plz" about some of their claims.

I guess DC just wants to look like the model citizen here, which would make sense.
 
I dont see anything wrong with Chris, makes more sense than damien. in a 10 years when hes grown up and in his teens, he'll make a sweet character.
 
IMO Chris has a helluva lot more character potential than Jason, just by being Zod's kid. And at whatever age he is now, he's already a novice to Earth life, so his childhood can easily be an interesting one (and in turn add some extra realistic spice to Clark and Lois' marriage, thus adding more semblance of relatability). Plus he's already demonstrated how assertive he can be in a testy situation by lipping off to his own (biological) dad (as many kids do), whereas Jason could only seem to toss a piano across a room as little more than a hyperactive reflex.
 
1. Copyright law is stupid.

Just so that's said.

2. Re: the topic, ideally I'd like to see Superboy fly in out of nowhere, grab Chris by his ankles, and use him to beat Superboy Prime to death. Then when people are all like "ZOMG YOU'RE DEAD!" he's like "I got better:up:" And then they never bring it up again.
 
If you could work a punch to Supergirl's face in there somewhere, that'd be the best resurrection story ever. :up:
 
4 birds? one stone? thats talent right there

They've hired regular nannies. Chris usually wears a red sun watch designed by Batman to negate his powers, so for all purposes they're babysitting a normal child. Except that Batman is apparently a ****** who forgot to calibrate the watch for a child instead of an adult, and now we've got shenanigans.

You have to admit that watch goes against canon in regards to how a kyrptonians powers operate.
 
Does it? I thought red sun radiation just shut down a Kryptonian's powers without draining their cells or whatever. That makes absolutely no sense, but that's how I recall it being explained. That seems to be what the watch does for Chris.

After Bryne - Superman became a Solar collecter that expended energy like a rechargeble battery.

Even under a red sun he had his powers WITHOUT RECHARGE and would slowly lose abilities over time.

Suddenly this year somehow the frequency of light can "block" his abilities?

Meh.

Lots of things changed after IC.

Yeah I noticed,... both supermen are able to drive "superboy Prime" thru a red star and Byrnes canon allows them to survive yet Bats can whip up a watch that negates a kryptonians powers?
