    Instead of having him die at the hands of Superboy-Prime what would you have done with the original Superman?

    Personally I would have either placed him on Earth-2 or done something with him involving Iron Munro (who replaced him in the timeline after COIE)

    i think pretty much anything would have been better than killing him.

    I would've put him on New Earth. I mean, come on, he's the original Superman.

    Yup. Just like the PC days, only with Kal L on the same Earth as Kal El.

    How would that work though? Would Kal-L be Kal-El's ancestor or something?

    I think I would have had him killed off by the current Superman.

    As a new DC reader this confuses me.  Does everyone else know that's not the original Kal-L?  Or was some crisis able to implement his existence into the world

    @Closure: At one point Dc's continuity was too far gone to save so they had the first big Crisis(Crisis on infinite Earths) to clean it up, basically saying that the original Superman, Silver age Superman and Modern Superman and countless others existed in alternate universes like Earth Prime, Earth 1 Earth 2 and so on

    I would've had someone create a teenage clone of Kal-L, who's found by Power Girl. Have the clone assume the identity of Power Boy and, eventually, revealed that Kal-L's soul has been reincarnated in the body of the young clone (granting him some of Kal-L's memories, with the potential of all of Kal-L's memories re-emerging, as the clone grows older).

    I'd read that.

    That works too. TBH this sounds better that the current Superboy anyway.
