Im not sure if im alone or not but i liked superboy prime as a villain. yea he might be to over pwered but i still liked him and i thought he had a good story behind him. Butthe ending of Crisis of # worlds to me Sucked! Yea he might have finally gotten what he wanted but at what cost to us? We lost a great villain, him being sent home wouldnt have been totally bad but seriously. It comes up with alot of questions.
Who showed his parents those comics?
Why did he lose his powers?
if he gets his powers back will he be a good guy since he now has his own world to protect?
Why did Earth Prime come back while another multi-verse earth got destroyed?
Does anyone else think they couldnt have ended the story in a more worse way?
I liked the idea of him being the only super hero on his planet but after that ending where his family reads about him in the comics, and he is just sitting at his comp writing on DCcomics.com forum board about him self, its just puthetic, its like they even got tired of holding the story up so they just threw the crappiest ending possible at it just inspite of the reader being impatient
Superboy Prime
Character » Superboy Prime appears in 156 issues.
Once a young high spirited youth in the real world with the powers of Superman, intense trauma had twisted his sense of justice and morals, exacerbated by the corrupted and ineffective heroes of post-Crisis Earth as well as his loss of his destiny as the "Universe's Greatest Protector".
Superboy-Prime Gone for good? Spoilers*****
" to me superboy prime was always a little bitch I hope he is gone for good if not no big deal to me "true that
that's horrible. thought he'ld have been killed in some way. i mean after all that he's done to the dc universe he's just let go like that?
"The true lessonEvery single comic reader is secretly just like Prime"
Yup, we b!tch about how characters are not being used, over-used, badly used, just plain drop this book because there's no significance. That kind of stuff.
" Who showed his parents those comics? "Lori...or, they bought the comics themselves. It's because they're comic fans they named their adoptive son Clark, remember? ;P

They named him Clark after his mother's maiden name - revealed during th Sinestro Corps spotlight on him
he didn't lose his powers - his eyes are seen glowing red at the end of the book
he's already done something bad to Lori and has now enslaved his parents
apparently earth-prime came back as one of the 52 earths
"Will we see Superboy Prime? Geoff says we'll see him back in Adventure Comics 4 and 5."
Straight from Geoff's mouth
" "Will we see Superboy Prime? Geoff says we'll see him back in Adventure Comics 4 and 5." Straight from Geoff's mouth "
Seriously? Righteous, I wonder if this means he will come back to the DCU just in time to kill all of the people he originally murdered that have been turned into Black Lanterns.

I remember his eyes glowing but i thought that might of been a mistake
I thought lori ran away, and his parents grounded him, they were fine upstairs making him lunch.
I remember them saying that about his earth now, was that during this most recent crisis with darkseid trying to rule the world? Now there is a Legion of Super heroes to his earths future as well?
RIght when you think DC couldnt have gone more wrong with a story.... They come back and toatlly redeem them selves.
Sorry that is one of the only parts i like from dumb and dumber

no idea what happened to Lori but from what Prime said I'm guessing that he did somethig to her and we don't know how much of his powers he has either...but since it was just revealed that he was going to be showing up in Adventure Comics I'm guessing that they depowered him down to Conner's level
yes there is a Legion in his universe...which I still don't understand...because stop me if I'm wrong isn't Earth Prime supposed to be our world
"no idea what happened to Lori but from what Prime said I'm guessing that he did somethig to her and we don't know how much of his powers he has either...but since it was just revealed that he was going to be showing up in Adventure Comics I'm guessing that they depowered him down to Conner's levelyes there is a Legion in his universe...which I still don't understand...because stop me if I'm wrong isn't Earth Prime supposed to be our world "
yeah i was getting that feeling too...Earth-Prime is our world

I don't think Legion-Prime was originally intended to be from the Earth-Prime universe, it was probably Geoff Johns's idea...>.>

But technically super boy prime shouldnt exist there either. or he should at least lose his powers.
What a whiny, useless little punk, even in defeat. "They'll never get rid of me!!!! I always survive!!!! WHAAAAAA!!!!!" Followed closely in sheer stupidity by "MOOOOOM!!! GIMME MY LUNCH!!!" At least they finally given that prat a place in life that suits him. I hope someone perforates him with a nail gun and feeds his corpse to the pigs.

lol hahaha very creative
is this significant to anyone, i dont remember seeing these numbers and i dont know the importance of them can someone help please?
" The only downside is the last few pages showing what happens to Superboy Prime. The number 247 is used repeatedly which long time fans will recognize as significant..Adventure Comics #247 was the first appearance of the Legion (I think), and I think the post-Zero Hour Legion's home reality was named Earth-247.

"@Alexander Anderson: now that is what I call for a perfect ending"
seriously?
k, according to this review (not saying he is right or wrong) superboy-prime has lost his powers is just a regular person like anyone else, I know he had red eyes at the end of the last page type on the comp but that could just depict that he is still evil.
as far as him coming back in other comics, he could still come back with or with out his powers, i will be picking those issues up to find out how they bring him back
I don't care what you idiots say Superboy-Prime saved the Multiverse! During the Crisis he stayed behind and helped deliver the killing blow to the Anti-moniter! As far as his downfall those fucking idiots (titans) attacked with what appeared to be the intent to kill the poor guy the same thing could happen to you if had that kind of power and acidentilly killed someone and were attacked by 500 fruitloops in costumes(some of whom were villians). Think about it he's a teenager. Of course he got emotional when all of earth-1 attacked him!!!!
You would all cry as well!
