Do you like Superman having his Superboy past with Krypto and the Legion of Superheroes? Or is it better for him to become a superhero after reaching adulthood?
Some things you just have to do away with. It was fine when Byrne created Ultimate Superman in 1986.
>>155139073It depends solely on the type of universe you're makingA story of setting with that wackiness - time travel, silver age plots, space shit, Jimmy Olsen getting turned into a gorilla, lex luthor being bald and blaming superman - thats fine to make Superboy know the Legion. The setting is intrinsically like that. But if youre not going to include that - then now. However more grounded or realistic the story is, Clark is more then capable of being Superman on his own

>>155139097No
>>155139073Byrne deserves to be remember as a pedophileThats all

He has been from an alien planet since his 1st appearance
I've never liked the legion or krypto. So i'm fine without them.
>>155139239Are you disingenuous or retarded?
>>155139073I want to say I like Superboy and the legion in the history, but in practice I actually don't. I like it cleaner than that, which is unusual because I do love silver age nonsense.
>>155139279>Are you disingenuous or retarded?Retarded maybe? Superman has origins in space, so you can't just remove that stuff like you can with Batman
>>155139312Retard anon, I want you to imagine two different hypotheticalIn one superman story, superman is from space, but there isnt much emphasis placed on it. More emphasis is placed on clark growing up as human. No wacky shenanigans. No cousin. No space dog. In the second universe, Clark Kent becomes Superboy, he has a space dog, he travels to the future, he makes Lex Luthor bald - all before hes 18. Do you see the difference? Retard
>>155139186Cope
>>155139073>Do you like SupermanNo he's just a weaker boyscout Goku
>>155139369You are weak.
>>155139333I just found it weird you listed "space" as one of the over the top Silver Age nonsenseTbf some of the Superman and Superboy stories from the Silver age are a bit too wacky, even for me, so I kinda get your point.But I think Clark Kent being a superhero during his childhood is still in the acceptable category
>>155139073I dont remember, does he still have his superboy past today??
>>155139073Yes, it his mythos.
>>155139073Superboy and the Legion really elevates Superman's story to the level of myth/folklore. Superboy gives him this Peter Pan/Paul Bunyan quality, and him travelling to the future with the Legion is like Dorothy going to Oz.
