Homer's Poochie aww flip you man, i loved the jacket and the shades! i read back in those days and one day i saw this dude with the back shirt and and jeans! lol, took me some time but i adjusted (more civilized look) Geez dial H, i don't know much about anything, but even EYE knew about Superboy (Kal-El) as they call him, BUT we could ASSUME that up to the point when Earth Prime (or universe) was destroyed, the 2 universes were identical and THEREFORE SB Prime had experienced the same events! making him as much like Kal El, as Superboy, then turning Evil. HOWEVER, you sure Superboy had anything to do with Siegel and Schuster? i thought DC came up with the Superboy idea and Schuster and Siegel didn't like it. Perhaps Mon-El will die in the 20th Century after all and Connor will be the ‘new’ Mon-El…

… here we go again! :)

Every time they've put a character named Superboy back on the map, people have asked what progress DC has made in the case. Dan and co have specifically said they have no comment. AFAIK, they've simply decided that these two characters are sufficiently different from the "young Clark Kent" who is at the core of the legal proceedings that they can use them after all. Add to that the fact that they own the trademark to the name, which is not (I don't think) under threat by the suit, and they decided they were legally safe to use them without queering the proceedings of the lawsuit. Taking them all off the table for a while was just a CYA maneuver. When (I really don't think "if" is in the cards) they win or settle the suit, we will finally see "The Adventures of Superman when he was a boy" officially enter the history of the character again, as opposed to the oblique references they've been forced to use for now. I'll warrant they're wanting to re-include it in Secret Origin, and are trying like mad to come to an agreement with the Siegel estate as we speak. If they'd gotten the full rights by now, they'd have crowed it from the rooftops. “the real world, DC had won a legal victory, regaining the right to use Superboy”

The t-shirt and jeans combo is so much better. The early 90′s Superboy with the jacket always reminds me of Poochie, Homer Simpson’s short-lived gimmick cartoon character.

This Superboy was supposed to reflect the childhood years of the Man of Steel, but the initial pitch was rejected by DC Comics. Only after the success of Robin did DC finally accept the idea, but at that time, Schuster executed the idea, as Siegel was overseas in World War II. This Superboy was pretty popular (getting his own series at that time was pretty rare), teaming up with the Legion of Superheroes and more." This is completely wrong. Superboy-Prime came from a pre-Crisis universe where the DC Comics Superman stories existed as fictional stories. Read the wikipedia entry for details. “The original Superboy — who is now known as Superboy-Prime — was a creation of Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster.
