Thanks for posting -- this was a fun stroll down memory lane.
I picked up Superboy #60 following The Kingdom when I was a kid because I thought that Hypertime seemed like a cool concept and thought that DC would be using it a lot in the future. Swing and a miss on both fronts!
... well, that was delightfully low-level bonkers.
Like that there's a SuperRobin. Guessing on that Earth the minute Bruce learned there was a teenaged clone of Superman running around he swooped right in. "He's mine! MINE! NONE OF YOU CAN TOUCH HIM!" "Uh, you mind letting go of me?" "(mine...)"
This storyline is how Kon-El learned Superman was Clark Kent, via the "Silver Age" Superboy. I think the same one from ZERO HOUR. "Wait, you're Clark Kent?!" "Wait, you aren't?"
"The public refused to accept me, in spite of my awesomely radical thigh belt. People had started calling clones Genetix. It was the '90s, and putting unnecessary Xs in words was all the rage. I tried to make things better by creating some horrifying human-animal hybrids, but somehow that didn't reassure people."
I miss sterling and knockout being in superboy's life ever since he joined the teen titans many years ago. Knockout in particular has been handled like garbage ever since her appearances in this series.
