Superman, Superboy, and Supergirl will be in a crossover event called "H'el on Earth" in November!

H'el is first appearing in Superboy #14 which picks up events from Superman #13.



Then Supergirl #14, where it looks like he's sending Superboy's brain to loopy land.



The event will then end in Superman #14, which surprisingly does NOT have a cover of H'el abusing Superboy in some way! Though only because he's apparently already beaten him and Supergirl...

My reaction to these previews is that "H'El" (Goofy-ass name) is some sort of New52 take on Bizarro, and I seriously hope that I am wrong about that. Because Bizarro doesn't need to be realistic or grim or gritty, or even a serious villain. Then again, the backward S, the pallid color and name (H'El, like Kal-El is what I'm thinking) fills me with genuine worry. There's still a pretty good chance that I'm wrong, but if I'm right I will be pretty pissed.

I'm sure this is DCnU Bizarro, and the new name sort of makes sense, since we know that "Kon'El" means "Abomination of the House of El" (It was what Supergirl called Superboy when she found out his was a clone since DCnU Krypton has some pretty bad experiences with clones in their history it would seem).

And in fairness, Bizarro can be goofy, but the notion that an imperfect clone with all the powers of Superman (or in some cases reversed powers, like ice vision and flame breath) AND a reversed moral code where good = evil and vice versa, is a fairly disturbing one, and one that easily lends itself to a serious threat.

I think what Alan Moore did in Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow is kind of a "quid pro quo"/conversation ender for "Bizzaro as a serious villain" idea.

At least it's less worrying than my initial thought: Superboy Prime AGAIN?!?

Oh dear lord, it looks even WORSE than the 90's. But at least he doesn't have spikes?

Ahahahahha, poor Superboy. Though I kind of hope this starts a trend.

I have no idea why, but I cracked up laughing at Superboy's face in the first cover. There's just something off about it.

Huh, see, I see that guy and I don't think DCNU Bizarro, I think DCNU Match.

At least I'm not the only one. I mean they already ruined Supes/Tim/Cassie and removed Bart so why not destroy another part of young justice? Thank Lobo the cartoon is still pretty entertaining even if it isn't my young justice.

Ummm.... unless I'm wrong, didn't Match get Jokerised in Young Justice and later went crystallised Bizarro himself?

Yeah, that's why I thought Match. That and the fact he seems to be across from Superboy in most of these pictures.

Wow. Those are some pretty ridiculous faces there.

And uh is it just me or is the old guy in that last one checking out Kara's ass?

I dunno, I think that's more of an " Oh no, my taxi.. " look.

Now the young woman back there, who looks like she's trying to edge away from the scene but just can't tear her eyes off something, that's another story.

Great. Now all I can see is that guy and the woman behind him both looking mesmerized by Supergirl's ass...

The look on H'EL's face on the 3rd cover ... many options there

I like the art okay on the Supergirl cover.

but seriously, Bizarro should look WRONG, as in not physically possible. This guy just looks kinda ill.

We've seen cases of a slower descent into Bizarrohood as the cell structure breaks down and crystallises, that might be how this poor sod ends up.

Digging H'el's woobie face on the Supergirl cover.

His face... it's not woobie, it's just - the eyes. They're MOIST.

Is MOIST vision a power?

Not sure if want...

Seriously, I still get the Superboy title against my better judgement, but this just looks a little bit ridiculous. I think this H'El is supposed to be some sort of homage to Bizarro or whatever, but it's just not working for me (the outfit is kind of cool, but I'm not sure if he's supposed to look like a Bizarro, or a zombie, or just a random heavily-scarred Kryptonian dude with substantially lighter skin than you'd expect from someone powered by sunlight).

So, failed clone of Superman? Like a prototype of Superboy?

Failed clone alert.

Maybe I watched Young Justice too many times, but immediately thought of Match carving a backwards S into his chest... :/

H'el? No seriously?

a) Stupid and terrible "costume". What the hell, nu-Bizarro has a crotch-cape? WTF? But hey, Nu-52 is already known for its innovative approaches to character redesign, so who am I to argue with their genius and artistic vision.

b) "He'el" ??? For gods sakes. Bad fanfiction writers have more imagination than this. Tie-in writers for shoddy RPGs have more imagination than this.

brb, facepalming forever.

You see, Superboy (he seems more focused on Superboy than Superman) DOESN'T have a crotch-cape.
