So as I mentioned before, Young Justice was interrupted by a whole “Sins of Youth” event where everyone’s ages were screwed up.
Time for a highlight reel. So we’ll start with Superboy
So due to Superboy’s whole… thing, he doesn’t grow up with the rest of Young Justice. It actually came up in a camping story from earlier and it was pretty sad
Remember when we used to say that?
Anyhow it appears that whatever technology and magic he was hit with tried really really hard to grow him up to uh… results. Bad results.
So he has to go back to the science facility he usually stays at where things are… weird. I don’t fully get it, but I probably should because this evil organization called The Agenda sort of recruited Klarion the Witch Boy to do this whole “make the people hate Young Justice and by extension all the other known heroes.”
Or rather, a woman who worked in The Agenda called Contessa is orchestrating this whole thing. It’s weird.
Anyhow, this scientific facility that might be the Agenda that seemed to used to be related to Project Cadmus. If you’re a DC fan you already know what Cadmus is and if you’re not, don’t worry about it, it’s not that important right now. Just know that they’re another shady government organization.
I keep getting distracted, anyhow, this facility, that also seems to be a major cloning facility but is also, like, Superboy’s house, is able to fix him thank goodness so he can finally live his dream and become Superman.
So as someone who hasn’t read a single Superboy comic yet, I am introduced to an interesting cast of characters. For example, despite is constant raging hormones Superboy does, in fact, have a love interest. An honest to goodness girlfriend named Tana Moon.
Such a good girlfriend that she figured out this was Match instantaneously, unlike the pupil of “The World’s Greatest Detective”™️ who basically needed a whole day to figure it out when it was basically all but revealed.
This is also when have met his biggest hater other than Match, and her name is Amanda Spence. Why does she hate him so much? I don’t know. But you know how much she hates him?
Freakin’ fridges Tana Moon.
Let’s just say, he was ready to commit a murder.
I am introduced to Superboy’s evil clone, girlfriend, arch enemy, and watch his girlfriend die, all over the course of, like, 2 issues of comics.
Also this was clearly before the “Half Lex Luthor” retcon.
So that was pretty freaking tragic for our normally jovial and excitable Kon El.
Like, what a way to kick off Superboy’s segment of the event! And we don’t get more of his part until later when he teams up with Superman.
So we just gotta sit with this into the next segment… The Titans.
