    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".

    Will he be coming back?

    Most likely yes, after Blackest Night, yes, maybe even in Brightest Day.

    I used to want him back, (my screen name was made when I was obsessed with the ridiculous thought of "redeeming" him.) Now I'd hope he didn't come back, but if he did, I wouldn't hate it...

    I dunno...I mean my obsession with him just kinda faded out into the "neutral zone" for him. I don't like him, but I don't hate him.

    that would be F^&*ing awesome, get two of the most bad-ass characters from the Super and Bat family for a team up and hopefully redeam them

    I would like to see him come back as the next host of the spectre. 
     
    Being the host of the spectre can make regular humans one of the most powerful beings in the marvel universe, just imagen how powerful superboy prime would be as the host of the spectre.

    ugh! that would be just terrible writing.
     
    If he comes back, writers should keep him on as a major villain. that's where what potential he has is. He's lost all credibility to be a hero after all the people he's murdered.

    I think you mean DC, anyway coming back as the specter would be a step closer to redeaming him, but since hes back on earth prime it would be a redundant story as it was insinuated that he has realised his mistakes, and the only way to bring him permantly in to the main universe would be to destroy his earth again

    Pretty sure I saw an announcement on an upcoming Superboy Prime series in the works from DC. It was in the SDCC coverage somewhere.

    I would still like to see him as the next host of the spectre it would make him even more powerfull by a huge amount and it would give him a excuse to kill of bad guys and it might help him be redeemed.

    @alexander121793:  no, it would stain the Spectre, Super-Boy prime is unworthy of being the host of the Spectre. If anything, if things were written properly. the second these two met, Spectre would give him old testament justice and smack him to kingdom come.

    Spectre is not a goody goody either your talking about the thing that kills anything that does a bad thing no madder how minor with out remorse. Adding Superboy Prime wouldn't be a problem for spectre in fact he would simply have a host that is more willing to kill the bad guys.

    @alexander121793: Spectre isn't someone who goes around killing people because he can't stomach the real world because he's a psychotic man-child like Super-boy prime. If you compare Spectre to super-boy you don't understand either of the characters. Spectre is a cosmic agent of justice and vengeance, when he kills someone it's because his god appointed duty demanded it
     
    Super-boy prime is just a twisted solipsistic cry-baby mass murderer. By the very nature of what Spectre is, he would judge him and punish him if they met, otherwise completely bad writing.

    I hope so. To have a guy die off panel seems rather weak, I am sure their is a meta-rule about it (seen and not told rule or something). I want to go out a in a bang, like Hal did when the sun went out, but with a bit of Kittan twist to it. Like this
     
        

      
     
      That's a why to go, yelling and exploding like a hero in the face of evil and death.

    That would be awesome. A redeemed and apologetic Prime coming in to save the other Supermen from Doomsday would be epic.

    @FadeToBlackBolt:  But still, I think he should go out in a noble hero's death in a way... everything has been taken from him. His home, his family and friends, his life, his innocence... I think he can only find true peace in the world beyond...
