I really like the titans west and it's weird that we never had other variations of that concept.
(solo #7)
For example there is this junior justice league that I don't think ever appears again (to be fair this is a post-crisis book so it doesn't really work but these are all earth-1 characters).
Here's a list of sidekicks that were all active during the fab five original tenure.
Kara Zor-El - supergirl
Diana Dare - queen arrow
Linda Reed - girl archer
Johnny Kirk - superman, Jr
T'omm J'onzz (idk maybe he is like ghost or something)
Arisia Rrab - green lantern
Harold Jordan - airwave
Jimmy Olsen - chose any name honestly, I like to think of him as having in internship with Elongated man and being elastic lad
yeah; literally the only superman kids that Clark has actually TOLD his identity to, is Chris & Jon iirc. Everyone else either figures out or is in the dark
Thoughts on Superman's first son Tommy (from Superman (1939) #57) and also Johny Kirk?
sorry this took me liek 3 years to answer
Tommy: tommy is such a selfless kid like he would rather be sent back to the orphanage than be supermans son…AND his plan to use the money he & superman earned to hire a bodyguard for him so superman wouldn't' have to take care of him all the time… that's initiative… must be that orphan/foster kid guilt... the concept of a kid being the primary responsibility of the superhero and that 'gets in the way of the superheroing' is different... Tommy's story is like a child's power fantasy what if gone wrong and that's interesting.... I think i prefer kirk tho
johnny kirk: (action comics 1938 #232)
His origin is interesting… being the invert version of superman's origin (like being sent from a rocket to go to another supposedly doomed planet, except earth never exploded…. i feel like there could have been better guardians then a young superboy tho…. like did mr kirk not have any relatives?)
the fact that superman decided to make ANOTHER SECRET IDENTITY is ridiculous like bro just tell him youre clark kent atp. Superman thinking that johnny kirk could be his replacement is interesting, and the part where superman was also grieving for his lost powers… Johnny is p tricky for scheming the part where he gives superman back his power tho… like was that him being selfless or was that him not liking the job being superman entails? also why did superman leave johnny to be an orphan again just because he didn't have any powers??? like bro you promised the mr kirk's shitty will…
also I hate his orange pants ..
overrall, i think superman is lucky he hasn't had a selfish kid yet...
