Can we accept YJ connor as like? another entity?
Like he’s his brother’s twin. Kon, Connor (The Kon with the spiked jackets not this aggressive toned down version of him.) but like the two are separate, twins.
And Well it would just be a really funny mental picture if Luthor did make twins and just kept one and named it connor as well because it’s a backup in case the other dies so why name it something different?
But the two couldn’t be more DIFFERENT, one is short, ‘clearly gay but we haven’t had the talk yet’ if anybody gets that little reference with a more slighty tuned down punk aesthetic. (i would call it punk.)
While the other has CLEARLY got no fashion sense, the same shirt twice in a month, no social skills, no charisma and is about as aggressive as a mistreated chihuahua.
So Luthor pulls a ‘i keep this one in the basement and this one by my side.’ move, with Kon, he places for the media, lets him charm his way all he wants while connor? He gets basement duty.
AKA being stuck in a star labs tube for an indefinite time until the temporarily formed group of robin (dick grayson) Kid flash and aqualad come and save him.
And now Luthor’s panicking like ‘oh no?! my basement son got out.’
He totally wipes Kon from all media and denies it so Connor can make his appearance and shoves Kon in the basement until Tim comes along with HIS YJ team and saves that clone or Kon just pulls the ultimate ‘i’m going to stay with dad!’ move.
And it’s chaos when everyone realises there’s twins.
Superman: What do you mean you had twins??
Luthor: Yeah it was such an exhausting process. (talking about funding the cloning for them, cloning them and getting the dna.)
Superman does not know this: Lex? Lex did you give birth??? (he’s stressing super hard by the way because imagine your arch nemesis or rival or like complete and utterly hated enemy gave birth and you didn’t know and it’s just so like?? I could have held your hand for you lex..)
And Luthor’s already like walked away.
