none of you will ever understand the parasocial attachment i have to kon-el superboy experiment 13 conner drake-wayne luthor kent supernova man of tomorrow
arrogant teen celebrity superhero whos got much more depth than you expect and is in way over his head. died. got better. has been written out of existence at least twice. has ISSUES issues. did the whole 'depressive spiral' arc before it was cool. cringefail loser when its least convenient. so desperately aggressively performatively straight that he circles back around to being a bi-kon or possibly the deepest closeted gay man in existence. cloned from the DNA of the most evil billionaire on the planet and superman himself. just wants the ability to live as himself. has actual style but keeps giving it up to fit into a mold. has never, not once, had a healthy successful relationship but we keep rooting for him anyway (dated 2 adult predators as a young teen and at least one lesbian (jury's still out on cassie sandsmark). at this point he's clearly given up on love, his last relationship was a literal fake dating scenario and he still didnt catch feelings while helping her RAISE HER CHILD. even in AUs he keeps getting paired with people who clearly do not have his best interests at heart. conner babycakes. who keeps deciding this and where can i find them). has issues about being a clone. has issues about having a chip implanted in his head that made him almost kill all of his friends. has issues about wanting to be normal. has issues about not really wanting to be normal. didnt receive a name until he was a year old. :( was stuck at 16 for like an extra 6 months before aging normally but for some reason every AU seems to think he was permanently stuck at 16. his age math is the worst because he was created at 15 got stuck at 16 for a year and 6 months. died for like a year. came back. got erased from existence when the universe was reset. came back... somehow. all of this is in the span of like 5 years. is he 5. is he 3. is he 15. is he 16. is he 18. we dont know. has issues about being clark's not-son-not-brother-not-nephew-not-cousin. loves ma kent with all his heart. loves his friends with all his heart. his friends all forgot about him for a really long time due to the universe reset. in an au he once died for all his friends again. in the main universe, the reason the timeline broke is because a mirror universe variation of clark kent but who calls himself superboy decided to destroy the entire universe. conner died fighting him. less than 3 months prior conner went into a depressive spiral because the whole 'i almost killed all my friends' thing happened due to a chip in his brain. he woke up revived in the far future. nothing was ever the same after he died.
i love him and his stupid leather jacket.
