I'd want to see what happened if hefound out that his girlfriend from Earth Prime got folded into continuity after all.

Think he'd go ape#### and take down some Lanterns? How about Kyle, who's currently going all "Dark Phoenix" on us right now.?

I think SBP was played out perfectly.

See, I could almost agree with you. And, for a few minutes after IC was all over and done I did agree with you. And when I say agree, I mean totally-- those being my reasonings, too.

BUT--

Then I remembered Superboy and Alexander Luthor were both geniouses. Beyond genious would be a better description. This is the Pre-Crisis SBP where he made all the Superboy robots and put Reed Richards to shame [yeah, different Universe, but you know what I mean].

Both of their intelligences should have rendered them immune to silly adolescent angst.

They both went mad is obvious. But, my contention is that at the end of CoIE Alex took he, SBP, E2 Supes and E2 Lois to a better place where they could continue to live. How is basically living in a bubble a better place?!?

I always knew they survived and have been awaiting their return since 1985. But, where they spent their time doesn't make any sense. By the way Luthor mentioned it at the end of CoIE I kind of assumed they were going to "Heaven" or some such similar place that Alex either found or created.

Hmmmm... I got nothin'

Superboy-Prime wasn't even introduced until DC Comics Presents #87 in 1985.

You can't relive all of your 'Silver Age years' with him, since the guy wasn't even around in the Silver Age (generally regarded as late 1950s to early 1970s).

Wait a minute. I distinctly remember reading Superboy's exploits with the LoSH during the late-1970's. I read the comics right off the spinny rack at the local drug store across town where I grew up.

According to Infinite Crisis writer Geoff Johns ,"[Superboy-Prime]'s really frustrated with what his life has turned into and, unfortunately, that frustration is going to be taken out on the world." He also said earlier in Wizard #170 that "He's been wanting to show the world what he can do, because he barely had a chance to be Superboy. He was Superboy a little bit before Crisis on Infinite Earths and then—BOOM!—his world was wiped out and that was it."

When asked how Superboy-Prime's battle with the Teen Titans got out of control so quickly, editor Dan Didio said, "Superboy is a teenager raised in isolation, with raging hormones, a huge chip on his shoulder and the powers of a god. He never learned how to keep his powers or emotions in check, so when confronted, the situation escalated and he had no idea on how to defuse it. Think of a situation where you, as a teenager, lost your temper. Now imagine you have the power to crush a planet. Do you think that situation would have ended differently? This is the moment where Superboy-Prime crosses the point of no return and becomes the greatest threat the universe will ever know."

After the fifth issue was released, Johns said at the "Wizard World LA" con, "That took me a long time to break, because I thought Superboy Prime needed to view the world so narrow. You can see how his world view is so narrow and so black and white and realistically that is not going to work anymore." Originally Superboy Prime started out coming into crisis as corrupted and evil, but the take on the character didn’t work for Johns. "I said to Dan I think Prime does it by accident and is horrified. That panel where’s he’s looking at his hands and goes ‘I didn’t mean to do it,’ that for me is the entire story for Superboy Prime. He didn’t mean to do this stuff. What’s worse making a mistake and fessing up to it or doing something bad and saying ‘You made me do it?’ Superboy Prime is a very simplistic character who has become very complex."
