I really loved his character on Young Justice and one of the most developed characters on the series

Definitely.... the only one possibly more developed might be Wally.

Senpai means older person or older classmates or someone that is a higher grade

@witecatj6007 3 года назад

@@jaevionfrost3049 Yes, that is true. It is just a major trope in anime/manga/hentai that someone wants their senpai to notice them for reasons.... Usually of a romantic/obsessive bent. If you look at Lex, he kinda has that level of obsession in regards to the creation of Super Boy.

Personally, I really dig the animated Young Justice. The storyline is complete with the origin of each members. Useful for non comic reader.. Like me

Please do an origin on Bart Allen. Impulse was one of my favorite things about the original yj comics

I read the entire Geoff Johns Teen Titans run then when Infinite Crisis came along I cried when Superboy died. He was one of my favorites.

Superboy (Kon-El/Conner Kent) is a great character. Without a doubt one of my favorite clone characters of all time.

@superby1 5 лет назад

THANK you for mentioning Westfield! Lots of people seem to forget that part in favor of Johns’ retcon of Luthor. I like Luthor retcon, but if you were reading Superboy back in the day, you knew what a gut punch that Westfield reveal was

I hate to be that guy, but, in the reign of the supermen storyline and his own title after that, Conner does not have the power of flight, he has what they called tactile telekinesis which he used to fly. I liked the way they did his character in Young Justice, it was a rendition of the different characteristics

@Solitaire001 5 лет назад

It's more than just allowing him to fly. Initially tactile telekinesis allowed him to simulate some of Superman's powers (basically flight, super strength, and invulnerability). Unfortunately, his invulnerability only worked against physical attacks but not against energy attacks (heat would hurt him, such as when was helping Steel land from orbit and the heat from Steel's outfit caused Superboy's gloves to catch on fire and he was in pain from the heat).

@Thedizzisin 5 лет назад

“That’s tactile telekinesis Kyle” Should be a line from Tenacious D.

@theflash7688 4 года назад

@Sarcastic Kitty what he saying is that flight wasn't originally one of his superpowers

@robertivey7644 4 года назад

Solitaire001 he also could obliterate tech by touching it. Basically he could take apart any machine with his tactile telekinesis.

Luiz Neto he’s done them for Nightwing, Arsenal, and Miss Martian so far. And if I remember right Wally was in the one he made for the Flash. He also did one about all of the Robins. He might’ve done others but these are the ones I know about.

@Zezinho819 4 года назад

@ClintOrWhatever 5 лет назад

I think an origin video of Halo, Forager, or Geo-Force is warranted since they're less known, but more relevant characters right now, and it seems they're taking a less comic-accurate direction with them compared to Superboy.

@kaliko5245 5 лет назад

Wasn't forager in JLU? Granted he looked more human back then...

@eladiocofresi5202 5 лет назад

The Young Justice comic book series was amazing. I love how Peter David made them feel like kids dealing with kid issues, while also dealing with serious matters. Among them were Arrowette’s mom trying to live vicariously through her daughter, the time Lobo went on a date with Empress, Secret’s origin, and of course, the death Arrowette’s school counselor, which resulted in Arrowette seeking the killer, persuaded not to, and while in trauma, saying she was a villain and would have to get cleavage,

@maglor2414 8 месяцев назад

Oh my God! I'll have to get a cleavage! *Cassie and Conner losing their shit laughing*

@thatbadmuthafucka2626 5 лет назад

Young Justice ......one of the best cartoons ever PERIOD.

@shadowbinder5211 5 лет назад

Young Justice: Outsiders doesn't feel the same as YJ Season 1 and Season 2 , the story is structured towards Darkseid which is the only redeeming quality of the 3rd season, but the Animation, Fights and Characters don't feel right and is lacking.

@andrewgarrett1356 5 лет назад

I love the Superboy from the nineties, but I honestly love the Young Justice cartoon version more. He's very relatable, and he does a lot of growing over the show's run. I also like how they kind of simplified his origin story by making it so Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad were the ones to find him and introduce him to Superman and the Justice League. I also thought it was cool how they made it so that Superboy doesn't have all of the powers of Superman, and they had him focus on becoming a better fighter who makes use of the powers he does have. All and all, Superboy rocks!

@grahck4391 5 лет назад

I would add to the must read comics Superboy 0 from the Zero Hour storyline where he goes to smallville and fights the teenage Clark Kent Superboy. it's a fav of mine, and bridges the two generations.

@dougtheheavy 4 года назад

This video should be the template for all videos going forward. No section bumpers AND verbal announcement of the next section (such as history, powers, and reading recommendations), no "I'm gonna talk about that later" or "you might wonder blank, and I'm gonna talk about that now". Just direct information with the occasional joke, and a little preferential discussion. Excellent.

@almightykayl8749 5 лет назад

I like how he couldn't fly like superman so he had to get the human supressent patches from Lex Luthor so he can temporarily have all the abilities of Superman. I think this is a good way to develop the character more and give a statement that sometimes you have to rely on the enemy to succeed.

@robertivey7644 4 года назад

The new 52 version was a Clone of Jonathan Lane Kent the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane from the future with Lex Luthor’s dna spliced in to keep him from dying from some meta disease. His Tactile Telekinesis was a field he generated around his body that could expand outward giving him a zone where he could manipulate everything inside also it expanded his sense of touch to include everything in it which was really freaking weird.
