I understand why he's upset, and I actually cared in the beginning of Infinite Crisis, since I had just read CoIE and I sympathized with the character. I stopped caring when he became a whining death machine with no character development.

This.

@JediXMan:That's SCW and Countdown for you.

I have a theory: he is supposed to be a stand-in for the comic book fans and he is depicted as a whiny loser that complains about every change. I don't think many people like to be seen like that, specially when the writers think so "highly" of them.

This is actually correct.

Well actually past a certain point the brain doesn't really process death as far as numbers. Superboy Prime cared about everyone in his Universe? As much as say his parents or best friends? So its not just about personal loss, most of the people who are critical of Superboy Prime in this respect I have come across do so because of how he reacts to things and increasing the loss a person (or character) has experienced doesn't automatically increase the characters emotional reaction or sensitivity. Its even possible that because Superboy Prime has experienced such loss that he wouldn't fly off the handle at smaller things, so its probably his personality or psychology to just naturally be sensitive the loss of his Universe regardless.
