The consensus is that Clark being Superboy before Superman fits if it's a universe where superheroes are an estabilished concept that have been a thing by years, so Clark isn't the first superhero and being called Superboy is acceptable because you can see it as a thing that can happen in world like this.But is it that simple?
>>150235150Ma and pa Kent would say no
It's that simple
>>150235206>Movieslop>Outdated movieslop too
Wouldnt people ask Clark if he ever meet Superboy when he was young?
>>150235768Maybe, but Clark could just say "I think I saw him flying overhead once or twice." because lets face it, Superboy would basically be treated like an IRL cryptid.Heck, it's a coin toss if a given citizen of the commonwealth wouldn't characterize Mothman as a Superhero. Or at least a good boy who's trying to warn people 'bout the poor bridge maintenance.
>>150236123It has come to my attention that Mothman is in West Virginia, not the Commonwealth of Virginia. Fuck me running.
>>150235150Sure but I don’t like Lex Luthor being from Smallville as well.In fact, I don’t like Clark meeting Lex before ever meeting Lois.But unfortunately, the show Smallville sealed that notion in generations to come.
>>150236123>>150236161Superboy has no problem telling his fellow classmates he exists, so I think he will more a young celebrity
>>150236201Lex and Clark meeting when young was a thing from way before Smallville.
>>150236201Read Birthright
>>150235231Is it?
>>150239480Very yes
He should be boy of steel
>>150235150>The consensus is that Clark being Superboy before Superman fits if it's a universe where superheroes are an estabilished conceptNot it isnt faggot. Clark is the first, Thats the consensus. Anything else is just suss.
>>150235150Him being with the legion makes sense in the modern era, he cuts his teeth as a hero in an era where his secret identity isn’t an issue and comes back with experience to debut as a hero in his own time
>>150236201I feel like the biggest issue here is how small IS Smallville? Seriously, like how populous should the town be?
