idk how to quote tags on mobile where is the conner kent essay i NEED it
ALRIGHT OKAY! hereβs 5k+ words plus panels & screenshots of me comparing and contrasting the two drastically different versions of Superboy (comics vs young justice cartoon) and going over what makes them such distinctly separate characters. someday iβll refine this a bit more its kinda just a word dump thatβs been living in my brain that i wanted to actually articulate after i read through Reign of the Supermen but here we go:
--
Pretty frequently I see the question βWhy is Superboy so different in the Young Justice cartoon?β float around in DC circles. I think there are two main approaches to answering this:
Why did the writers of the cartoon decide to create a very different version of Superboy?
What factors make this Superboy so different from the comic version?
For the first approach the answer is relatively straight-forward, from the start Young Justice as a cartoon was never meant to be a direct adaptation of the comics. They just used the title and a few elements so they could create their own approach to the DC universe with a focus on younger heroes. For example, Artemis Crock in their show is also COMPLETELY different from her comic counterpart, Zatanna is aged way down to be a member of the teen team, and Kaldurβahm was created for this show (and integrated into the comics as Jackson Hyde). They were always trying to do different things than the main comics universe, so them making a different version of Conner also makes sense. Their approach to him is also very clearly influenced more by how he appeared in the Teen Titans comic run that was still coming out as Young Justice started airing (his design, and some other elements weβll discuss along the way), as opposed to his original version from the 90β²s/the Young Justice comic.
So the basic βwhyβ is that from the start they wanted to create something unique to their universe, which they definitely did accomplish.
The much more interesting subject to dive into, though, is looking at the differences in Superboyβs story that contribute to him becoming such a different person.Β
The drastic changes made to the following factors are what I view as the main source of his differences in personality/outlook/characterization:
The conditions and history of the world at the time he is introduced
The circumstances around him being introduced/leaving Cadmus
The reaction Clark has to him and how their relationship starts
The people he first interacted with & became close to, and how he interacts with the world
The timing of him finding out about his connection to Luthor
The State of the Worlds
In the comics, Superboy is first introduced in Adventures of Superman #500 by iconically saying βDonβt ever call me Superboy!βΒ
during a 1993 event called βReign of the Supermenβ, a follow up to the 1992 event βThe Death of Supermanβ. Based on the title of the 1992 event, I think you can, uh, guess what one major difference in the setting here was vs. the state of the world at the time he was introduced in the cartoon. Obviously Clark didnβt stay dead forever, but Superboy first comes onto the scene as a young clone of Superman who insists he is the new Superman (one of the four characters trying to do so during the event).
This is in the main DC universe in the early 90βs, which means that heroes in general, including teen heroes, arenβt a new thing! Not only has the Justice League been around for a while but so has the Teen Titans. Once Clark is alive again, Superboy goes off on his own to establish himself as an individual teen hero.Β
So how is that different in the cartoon?
In the cartoon, Superboy is first introduced in the pilot episodes βIndependence Dayβ and βFireworksβΒ
on the 4th of July in (what most people consider to be) 2010. This was supposed to be the day that Robin (Dick Grayson), Speedy (Roy Harper), Kid Flash (Wally West), and Aqualad (Kaldurβahm) would get to see the true Justice League HQ at the Hall of Justice, which... doesnβt go exactly as planned.Β
In this world, superheroes are a newer thing, this is something that the creators have talked about before. At this point, while there is an established Justice League, there are no known teams of teen superheroes. Just the fact that as of season one Dick Grayson is still Robin is a pretty good indicator that this world is early in itβs time with a Batman. Now, the sidekicks arenβt aΒ secret, as they appear very publicly in this first episode, but they are almost always seen acting with their mentors at this point. Again, there is no Teen Titans in this setting, and there never has been.Β
So when they do form the first teen hero team? It is kept covert-ops. They do not publicize that they act as a superhero team, and the members who werenβt already publicly known heroes (mainly Miss Martian and Superboy) end up being prettyβ¦ unknown to a lot of the world outside the hero/villain community! Again their existence is not strictly kept a secret, but they keep the fact that thereβs a team of minors who are heroes going on independent missions VERY under the radar on purpose. Thus, those who arenβt going around doing super public hero activities just donβt have nearly as much of a presence.
So to summarize:
In the comics, Superboy is immediately put in a spotlight (he befriends a reporter and is all over tv and literallyΒ trademarks the name Superman) becoming known to the world and establishes himself as a solo acting hero YEARS before joining any teams.
In the cartoon, Superboy is kept relatively out of the spotlight, immediately becomes part of a covert-ops team and doesnβt act solo very often. The well known teen heroes in this setting are sidekicks working under a mentor, and Superboy does not actually act as a sidekick.
What does this mean for Superboy?
Superboy in the comics gets to, right away, act on his own and get a taste of what being Superman is like. In the cartoon, heβs brought into the world at a time where there already is a Superman. I think back to this bit from the therapy episode, where he says:
βSee, from the moment I first opened my eyes in that Cadmus pod, thereβs been one thing Iβve wanted, and feared. To know what it is to be Superman.β
Comics Superboy started out getting to do that! He immediately got a shot at filling that role, and he then makes the choice to relinquish it back to the original once heβs alive again. He (begrudgingly at first) understood that it wasnβt yet his time to be Superman, and knows heβll someday fill those shoes for real- but in the meantime being Superboy is gonna be his own thing and heβll embrace it and make it work.
Cartoon Superboy is left in a shadow, not ever truly knowing what itβs like to fill those shoes (except in a doomsday scenario training exercise gone awry that he then just feels intense guilt over). This leaves him a lot more frustrated and lost, and I think is a major contributor to how angry this version of Superboy is compared to his much moreΒ βchill go with the flowβ attitude in the comics.
Cadmus
In the comics, in that same issue heβs introduced, we find out that Superboy broke out of his cloning tube prematurely and left Cadmus with the assistance of the second Newsboy Legion, who also gave him his first leather jacket, before the programming that would allow Cadmus to control him was implemented.
He quickly gets up to speed with the situation, that Clark is dead. So he comes on the scene starting to save people and saying he is Superman, or at least the clone of the original one. A major thing that does influence his character here is the fact thatβ¦ this is the 90βs. He is designed around the idea of what is βcoolβ back in 1993. (look, even his original character design sheets call him cool)
So right off the bat heβs got a stereotypical βcool teen guy in that eraβ personality, which is often played for comedy to add a little lightness to some of the dark things happening during this event.Β
Anyways, he has left Cadmus, heβs acting on his own, and he starts realizing that his powers arenβt exactly the same as Supermanβs over the course of the Reign of the Supermen story.
After the main conflict is settled and Clark is fully alive and acting as Superman again, the two of them end up going back to Cadmus to find out what the exact deal is with him. Iβll go into this more in a later point, but they find out heβs not exactly a clone of Superman (or Lex- him being actually involved as a DNA donor is a retcon that happened a decade later). They agree to let someone from Cadmus (Dubbilex- the grey guy with the horns in this pic) leave Metropolis with him, as he sets out on a press tour to establish himself as Superboy now that he relinquished the trademark on the Superman name back to Clark.Β
Letβs pause and look at how this is different in the cartoon.
In the cartoon, when the trio of Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad decide to prove themselves to their mentors they run off on their own to attend to a fire at Project Cadmus when the Justice League got called off to do something else. Upon arriving, they accidentally uncover some weird things about Cadmus, like the crazy amount of sublevels, the creatures roaming around, and the fact that itβs not on the main power grids. They eventually find Superboy, still in his cloning tube. They break him out, but then get captured themselves.
When they are then put into tubes by Cadmus personnel, they manage to convince Superboy to help free them by promising him things like getting to meet Superman, and see the moon.Β The group of four now working together manages to escape from the building and it topples down, where they are then greeted by the Justice League who are Not Happy.
Superman flies away shortly after, and the group of kids explain to their remaining mentors that sure, they disobeyed orders, but they accomplished something good here, and they are going to keep doing it, whether the League likes it or not. The compromise is theΒ formation of The Team, to be covert-ops while the Justice League acts publicly, and the boys are joined by Miss Martian.
So to summarize:
In the comics, Superboy leaves Cadmus pretty independently (with some assistance) to go act on his own as a hero immediately. He returns to Cadmus later for more information, and they reveal truths to him about his existence. After he knows his truth, he goes off to continue establishing himself as a solo hero but lets Cadmus still supervise what heβs doing through Dubbilex.
In the cartoon, Superboy is rescued from Cadmus by Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad, without knowing pretty much anything about himself besides the fact that he is a clone of Superman, and is immediately put on the covert ops team.Β
What it means for Superboy:
Comic Superboy goes to act on his own, even after he admits heβs not the real Superman anymore. Yes heβs not 100% alone in terms ofΒ βheβs got people (Rex, Roxy, Dubbilex, Tana) around himβ, but as a hero heβs a solo act and ends up taking residence in Hawaii. In the cartoon, by joining a team right away, heβs taking on a very different style of being a hero, especially because the team itself is covert-ops. Rather than regularly saving the day all on his own much like Superman, which can help comic Superboy feel like heβs still living up to the name more, cartoon Superboy is working under the radar in a group setting, while still wanting to desperately fill those Superman shoes.Β
He is overconfident in his abilities and wants to be the hero he was created to be, so him being put into this very different type of superhero situation is another major contributor to the frustration/anger. Even later on when comics Superboy is part of forming the Young Justice team, they wereΒ never a secret covert-ops team, they were always publicly known. (hell, a reporter is the one who gave them the team name Young Justice because heβd misheard Bart)
Superboy & Superman
In the comics, as we have established, Clark was dead at the time Superboy first came on the hero scene. Clark comes back to life, during a little bit of a lull in the middle of the huge conflict. He immediately accepts that Superboy is one of four who came forward to try to replace him, and one of the only two (Superboy & Steel) who genuinely only had good intentions in doing so. Clark, Steel, Supergirl, Hal Jordan, and Superboy then all work together in the big battle against the Cyborg Superman.
Once things are settled, Clark is curious about him, and where he came from and his origin, so they end up going to Cadmus together with Guardian and learning more about him, as I previously mentioned.Β Once it is established that Superboy is in fact a metahuman clone who was created to mimic Superman, but is not actually a clone of him, Superman still accepts him and thinks heβs earned his right to continue using the βSβ shield and have the name of Superboy.Β
They part ways so Superboy can go on his press tour, but in general they have pretty positive interactions where they mutually respect each other! Not too much later in the comics even (I forget exaaactly when this happens but itβs definitely before the 1998 Young justice comic), Superman is the first one to give Superboy a real name, βKon-Elβ, something he is so happy about he literally cries.
How is this different in the cartoon?Β
When the boys first escaped, and Superboy first meets the Justice League, Clark is standoffish. Other members of the league need to nudge him over to go actually talk to Superboy, and itβs not much of a conversation before he flies off and away, leaving Superboy frustrated and alone.
Thisβ¦ turns into the standard for almost the entire first season. Other characters constantly telling Clark that he needs to reach out and be support for the boy (like in this iconic diner scene with Bruce and Clark), but Clark consistently being too freaked out by the fact that someone made a clone of him without his knowledge to properly accept Conner. While this does over time get better, this being the immediate reaction when Superboy is brand new in the world definitelyβ¦ has an impact!Β
He is rejected by the person he idolizes, and feels neglected and abandoned, and definitely kinda overcompensates with ego to try to make up for it.Β
So:
In the comics, Superman and Superboy work together from the start, not falling into a hero/sidekick situation but rather acknowledging each other as individual heroes with respect for one another. They grow to see each other as family much faster, and little tension between them. A crucial difference in situations, though, is that at the time these versions first meet Superboy is not actually a clone of Superman.
In the cartoon, Superman at first avoids Superboy, and does not offer guidance or mentorship or anything the boy needs. It is clear that he wants to work with Superman and be like him, since it was what he was created to do. It takes a lot of time for Clark to accept Conner in this setting, and there is a lot of tension for the first several months Conner exists. (they seem to settle this towards the end of season 1/during the gap between season 2, but it still has itβs impact on who Conner is early in his life)
What does this mean?
I feel like this is another major factor that contributes to Conner being so angry all the time in the cartoon,Β he feels immediately rejected by the person heβs supposed to be someday, rather than accepted by him. Again, very different from how comics Superboy got a chance to be Superman, and a chance to then work with the real deal as equals.Β
Friendships, Relationships and Identity
When Superboy is freed by the second Newsboy Legion, itβs primarily out of a βweβre clones who are stuck here, but you need to be out there, youβre what Metropolis needs right now!β kind of idea. The first person he actually becomes close to is a reporter named Tana Moon.
Tana and Superboyβs relationship isβ¦ bad once it actually becomes romantic due to their huge age difference (sheβs around 23, he is for all intents and purposes 16), but during the Reign of the Supermen where theyβre still just friends for the most part, itβs not as bad. Tana becomes the GBS correspondent who focuses on everything Superboy (at this time still insisting he is the new Superman) is doing as a hero, and they become close friends.
GBS then also brings in Rex Leech (and his daughter Roxy) to be his agent, to promote Superboy and manage things for him. Rex is exploitative as hell, but Roxy does become another really important person to Superboy. These characters along with Dubbilex are his main supporting cast at the start of his solo comic when heβs in Hawaii.
In this whole era, Superboy is pretty much a celebrity. Heβs cool, heβs a superhero, and I think itβs very notable he does not have a secret Identity. For a decent chunk of time, he is alwaysΒ just βSuperboyβ (until, as I mentioned earlier, Clark gives him the name Kon-El. Even so, he doesnβt adopt a regular secret identity [Conner Kent, although he actually used a different one, Carl Grummett, before that!] until he begins living with the Kents in the early 2000s). By the time he joins any teams, Kon is pretty damn confident in who he is as a hero and has a relatively good grasp on who he is in general, if anything heβs a little too confident.
Young Justice was created in the aftermath of World Without Grown Ups when the trio of Superboy, Robin (Tim Drake) and Impulse (Bart Allen) had teamed up. After they saved the day they realized they worked well together and formed their team, utilizing the old Justice League base in Mount Justice. They were eventually joined by more members, especially relevant here is Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark) who Kon later dates for a portion of the Teen Titans run that these four are in after Young Justice ends.Β
The four of them become close, and when Kon dies during Infinite Crisis it rips a hole in everything they had established growing up together over the past several years (Cassie joins a cult dedicated to bringing him back, Tim tries to clone a new Kon, Bart got aged up and took on the mantle of the Flash, etc) and Bartβs death that followed similarly shook the remaining Cassie and Tim. This group eventually does get to reunite, with Kon and Bart coming back during Final Crisis, solidifying how even things like death donβt keep them apart for long. Itβs hard to look at the comic book versions of these four characters and imagine how they would be without their connections to each other... until you look at the YJ cartoon and see a world where theyβre not even all part of the same generation, let alone a friend group.
Now in the cartoonβ¦
The first people Conner primarily interacts with are Dick, Wally, Kaldur, and Mβgann, along with the League members who interact with The Team pretty regularly, Red Tornado, Batman, and Black Canary. Heβs shown to be friends with the other memebers of the team and get along with them relatively well, but in general heβs not much of a social person.Β
Much like in the comics, Superboy is considered very attractive, and immediately upon their meeting, Mβgann is interested in him. Very, very interested in him.
At first it definitely does seem more just like an innocent crush, but itβs later revealed to be a little moreβ¦ concerning than that. As in βMegan subtlety influencing Superboy to become her dream boyfriend based on a TV show she likesβ concerning. Likeβ¦ she literally gives him the name βConnerβ after the TV show character that was the boyfriend of the character she bases her human self and entire identity on. The two date and once that becomes a thing, a lot of their plot lines in the following seasons revolve around the ups and downs of their relationship.
In general in this show, Superboy doesnβt really get much of a chance to establish himself on his own terms. Within months of him leaving his cloning pod, he and Mβgann start going to high school with secret identities, so heβs already having to hide who he truly is to blend in with other people, before he even knows who he truly is.Β
So to compare:
In the comics, Superboy gets to figure out who he is as Supermanβs Clone/Superboy very publicly, has multiple love interests and a celebrity status, and over time becomes part of a tight-knit group of friends. He doesnβt use a regular secret identity for the first several years heβs active.
In the cartoon, Superboy has one love interest with a very large impact on him, not nearly as much focus is given to his other friendships, and he immediately adopts a secret identity meaning he needs to hide who he is from the start.Β
What it means:
These factors play a big difference in his attitude, particularly highlighting how extroverted his comic version is and how introverted his cartoon version is. Comic Superboy never really needed to hide who he was until years into his career, vs being told to do so early on in his life. When you get used to needing to hide things so early, that can definitely lead to being more private/disconnected from others. Also somewhat related- in the comics, when Kon is given knowledge in his cloning tube, more pop culture got included. He mentions knowing Star Wars without having seen it, and references a ton of TV and Movies, vs the cartoon version of him that seems to have been given a lot of history of the world but not the current fun stuff. Itβs the difference between knowing whatβs going on in the world and whatβs popular, vs only knowing the past and whatβs fundamental. Not knowing pop culture like this can also really contribute to feeling alienated and lead to introversion. (I just... I think about how in the comics Konβs favorite TV show is Wendy The Werewolf Stalker, in the cartoon Conner just... watches white noise static)
Also, having a completely different set of friends with different personalities has a big effect, people are always gonna be influenced by the people theyβre close to to some extent. Bumping Conner up to Dickβs generation of heroes instead of Timβs not only gives him completely different friends, but it also puts him in this position of being one of the βOriginal Team Membersβ. By this I mean, a member of the first iteration of the only teen team, one of the people that younger heroes coming onto the scene and joining the team in later seasons see as an experienced and older team member to look up to (despite the fact that cartoon Conner is permanently 16- they never fixed that for him like in the comics). That just creates a different dynamic entirely, because in the comics even when the Tim/Kon/Cassie/Bart group are more experienced on their team late in the Teen Titans run, they are still always going to have heroes like Dick Grayson, Donna Troy, Wally West etc as the older generation of βoriginal teen heroesβ who came before them.
Also, while I am talking mostly about in-universe reasoning here, I do wanna bring up one slightly more meta reason that might also have contributed to them choosing to go for a moreΒ βintroverted brooding heroβ characterization with him: the fact that their version of Wally already filled theΒ βflirty jokeyβ archetype original Comics Kon fits into. Having two characters like that in the show from the start would definitely get... overwhelming. And at the time this show was first airing, in the comics, he was relatively devoted to Cassie and not nearly as flirty anymore anyways.
Lex Luthor / Details of Cloning
In the comics, as I have already mentioned and will now actually explain, when Superboy was first introduced he was not the clone of Superman and Lex Luthor as we know him to be today. Kon was a metahuman clone, made with the DNA of Paul Westfield who worked at Cadmus, that they genetically altered to look like Superman, and gave powers based on the energy aura they discovered to exist around Clarkβs dead body. This telekinetic field gave Kon the distinct powers he had for his first decade of existence: His Tactile Telekinesis (often referred to by him as TTK)
Lex Luthor was originally not directly involved in his creation, but he was aware that it was going on as is revealed during the Reign of the Supermen arc. Konβs TTK allowed him to mimic Supermanβs flight and strength, but not all of his powers. TTK also gave him powers Superman DOESNβT have, such as his ability to dismantle machinery or mold materials he is touching into different shapes. (The reason this is called Tactile Telekinesis is because there needs to be a tactile element, he needs to be touching the things)Β
It is not until 2003, a decade after Superboy was created, that writer Geoff Johns in his Teen Titans run decided to alter Superboyβs origin. He established that Lex Luthor hadΒ been the real human DNA donor and that Supermanβs Kryptonian DNA was actually used in the cloning process. Around this time, Conner also begins to exhibit more of the typical Kryptonian powers, like Clark did around this age.Β
This information is at first only known by Conner and Tim, because the email had actually been sent to Tim directly. The two keep it a secret as Conner was not ready to tell the rest of the team, because he fears the implications it has, and is afraid of becoming evil or being rejected. This revelation about Lex being one of his βparentsβ DNA-wise coming years into his hero career changes a lot of things for Conner, and makes him begin to question who he is. Unfortunately, Lex does at one point take control of Conner and force him to break Timβs arm and attack Cassie directly (as well as the rest of the team, but these two specifically are what Conner expresses the most guilt over after the fact). This era of Conner in the comics is where heβs definitely closest to his cartoon counterpart, because heβs very troubled and dealing with a lot of heavy stuff regarding himself as a person. Yet thereβs still traces of who he has always been in there. I mean, if youβre only familiar with cartoon Conner, can you really imagine his final words as heβs dying after saving the world beingΒ βIsnβt it cool?β
Now, looking at the cartoonβ¦
Conner finds out about his connection to Lex in November, only a few months after having existed outside of a cloning tube. He finds it out on his own, from Lex speaking to him directly, after Conner went back to investigate the remains of Cadmus and ended up having a fight with Match (another clone who is able to pass for Connerβs duplicate who theyβ¦ their version of Match is another thing they drastically changed from the comic version but as weβve established thatβs something they like to do so Iβm not gonna dwell on it).
In the cartoon, Connerβs powerset is, from the start, different from both Superman andΒ comic Superboy. Here he has heightened senses and strength and the ability to leap really far, but he lacks actual flight and some of the other standard Kryptonian powers, and has no TTK. The cartoon explains these gaps in his powers as being due to his half human DNA, and they introduce these patches that are able to suppress his human DNA and give him temporary access to full powers. Lex uses these patches as a way to manipulate him. Much like in the comics, Lex has a code word programmed into Conner that effects him, although it isnβt quite used for the same amount of βtotal mind controlβ, and he doesnβt get fully brainwashed and turn against the team or anything. Instead, the code word (hereΒ βRed Sunβ rather thanΒ βAut vincere, aut moriβ [Translated as βto conquer or die" / "victory or deathβ]) just leaves him stuck in a hypnotic trance.
So:
In the comics, Kon finds out after years of believing he was a metahuman clone who was given powers to mimic Superman, that he is actually a clone of Lex Luthor and Superman, which alters his entire perspective on himself! This causes him to become a lot more unsure and anxious about who he is, in stark contrast with how confident he was before. There are still traces of his old self within him, but this is a development in his character that influences him moving forward, making him a bit more serious but still at his core the same person he used to be.
In the cartoon, Conner finds out after months of thinking he was a clone of just Superman, that he has half human DNA and the donor was Lex Luthor. While he always had confidence in his abilities, he was still somewhat lost as a person in knowing who he really was outside of things other people have assigned to him (teammate, boyfriend, superhero, etc), and finding out this information about himself just adds to the uncertainty and frustration.
What it means:
Having this struggle be something Conner has to deal with so early in his existence is one of the most fundamentalΒ changes in my opinion. Finding out that Lex Luthor is one of your clone parents is something that will alter your entire perception of yourself and who you are! In the comics, Conner had already been confident in who he was so it shakes his world in a really big way, but in the cartoon he still didnβt know who he really was so it just adds to further confusion.Β
I think that even with the more serious characterization Kon starts getting in the 2003 Teen TItans run, his history and past as the fun cool 90β²s Metropolis Kid isnβt entirely forgotten, itβs still a part of who he is/was. Sure, maybe heβs sometimes even embarrassed by how he used to be, but itβs not treated as though it didnβt happen. All of his history comes together to create the character and who he is by the time he wears just a T shirt as a costume.
By skipping over the fun era of his life and jumping right into who he was when he started facing these huge changes, it creates such a completely different set of challenges for him and that contributes directly to how heβs characterized.Β
Putting it all together
The ultimate point I am trying to reach in all of this is that, beyond just βthey made a writing choice to make him differentβ the environment that Superboy was brought into and the events that took place right when he came into the world greatly influenced the type of character he would become. Every time an adaptation is made of something like comics, there are going to be changes and alterations to fit the world the creators want to make. Sometimes these changes are minor and donβt actually change who a character is (an example for the YJ cartoonβs universe itself: In the tie-in comics [issue 6] itβs established in this universe that the Flying Graysons werenβt just Dick and his parents, but other family members were active parts of it too. One was an uncle also named Richard, who actually survived the fall that killed the rest of his family but was left paralyzed and thus unable to care for him. This uncle already used the nicknameΒ βRickβ which is likely why Dick ended up usingΒ βDickβ as a name in a modern setting even though it has fallen out of popularity as a nickname because uh, connotations. This is something that is mostly unique to their world and helps to explain some things, but itβs not like tragically losing a few more family members changed their version of Dick and his backstory thatΒ drastically. At his core, he still has many similarities to his comic self) but theyβre still changes, and thatβs okay. Superboy, though, is such an extreme case where they made so many changes that at his core he really does become a completely separate character. Sure he has the name and design, but I was able to write five thousand words about differences here and am struggling to come up with more similarities beyond that.
I think there still could be specks of the original Superboy buried inside cartoon Conner, and that maybe he could have been more like his original version under other circumstances. Looking at these differences and where they come from is, I think, a cool way to begin to understand what elements contribute to who each version of Conner Kent really is. I think itβs clear from how I wrote this that I prefer the comic version, but there are definitely things that are fun to look at and think about with both.
