#Arguably Kon was sort of not in comics between the end of Bendis YJ and then YJDC... But he did have appearances.

I do think the wildest part of the Skyrocket/Connie concept is that Visaggio seemed to legitimately believe that Kon-El is like... a D-List superhero. Which is just like, a wild thing to believe considering the Comic Kon won in a fan poll hadn't even finished coming out at the time she pitched her idea.

#dc comics #dccomics #superboy #kon el #Like if she was maybe 15 years younger I'd get it? Because that'd be growing up on 2010s comics where Kon didn't have a book for most of it #But like Kon was in books during the 90s. He was in books during the 2000s. He was in books until like 2014? #And then he came back in 2019 and got a book again. #Kon's at worst a lower c-tier character but probably more like upper C-tier? #Constantly in adaptations pretty consistently in or has a comic. #The big periods where Kon hasn't been in comics is like 'Kon was killed because of stuff happening in editorial or on a corporate level' #Like it's from 2006 to 2009 (dead) and then 2014-2019 (Dead + weird N52 stuff). #Arguably Kon was sort of not in comics between the end of Bendis YJ and then YJDC... But he did have appearances. #Also there were like 8 events during that time and frankly Suicide Squad was using Match which I'll count. #Kon doesn't always have a solo book but he tends to have one more often than lots of other characters. #Even when not in a solo he still tends to be in team or Superman books. #Will add that I don't oppose Kon being trans conceptually and I've given my thoughts on that specific outline for a story before. #I just think in future check that a character is a D-list character before deciding to do a massive reinvention
