World's Finest Three: When Kon and Tim met for the first time

[sun_soraya]

mllesays asked for early interactions between Tim and Conner, so I'm posting a few pages from the World's Finest Three mini-series (1996), where they met for the first time.





What happened so far: Metallo got tired of destroying Metropolis and tries out Gotham for a change. Oh, and he stole a nuclear reactor. Unfortunately, Batman is out of town and Robin has to take care of a big, tank-like Metallo on his own, which - he fears - is a bit out of his league.







Poor Timmy... though Superboy is totally busy kissing "Miss Kryptonite"-contestants, he takes off to Gotham when he hears that Metallo is on the rampage there.
And as if all that isn't already trouble enough, Poison Ivy felt danger approaching the city, got sick, manipulated the meds taking care of her on their way to the hospital and is now running around freely.
In the meantime Tim tracked down Metallo...



(Ok, I admit that I only posted this scan because of the combination of metallic tentacles and a Robin. *cough*)
A~and Kon arrives!













Kon manages to destroy the currently blind Metallo, but brings the building down as well.













Time for Tim to pack out the kryptonite ring.

If there's interest, I could also post scans of the second part tomorrow.

If you're near enough to notice Poison Ivy, you're probably already inhaling lungfuls of her pheremones.

Especially considering Kon's invulnerability was directly tied to his tactile telekinesis back then. Unlike Superman, who's only affected by her pheromones when they're laced with Kryptonite, he's close enough to human that he's probably affected by them.

That, and he was kind of a horn dog.

(Wasn't this before his second Annual, when he got named Kon-El?)

I think it was quite some time before the naming.

IIRC this mini was before the naming. I'm just so used to writing "Kon" that I wrote it automatically.

I kinda liked him being a horn dog, btw.
