Superboy Prime vs 2 Supermen & 30 Green Lanterns (Infinite Crisis Conclusion)

[@comics_explained]

To the people complaining about how I mispronounced Jamie Reyes name: I will now mispronounce it intentionally at every possible opportunity.

[@adwinjones]

ComicsExplained the idea here is to mispronounce his name in its entirety. the fact remains that jamie reyes is the best thing coming out of DC Rebirth right now and its amazing.

[@ragnar97]

Then don't be surprised when people get pissed off. I'm guessing you wouldn't say the same if it was a Chinese name or an Indian name so fuck you.

[@adwinjones]

RagnarTheRed I could be wrong...but I think you may have missed it...in its entirety...but that fact remains that my comment is the best thing coming out of youtube right now

[@ragnar97]

+adwinjones I should've been clearer, my comment was meant to be for ComicsExplained, not you. Edit:However, it's one thing to pronounce the name wrong and say, "sry for butchering it but that's how I know it and how I've always pronounced it" and saying "I pronounce it this way, I don't understand why anybody else would not and to the people complaining fuck you".

[@minatodroger7890]

Marcus Lanier and he actually did too the original one at that

[@marclanier2280]

Minato D Roger dude he could kill Darksied then too.

[@inutetsaiga1]

It was so refreshing because no one had singlehandedly fought off the whole roster like that with raw power, Darkseid and Doomsday can both be defeated by Supes alone. I also liked the 'what if Supes didnt hold back and control himself' question coming to life. I remember it wasnt nearly as popular amongst the avid readers online cuz he came off as an overpowered whiny kid who can kick anyone's ass for no reason. But I thoroughly enjoyed having someone who kept that SIlver Age strength to push planets and thrash ppl around like insects without the whole 'villain controlling the universe' threat attached.

[@DJKennedy90]

Actually, the story behind Conner Kent Superboy & Nightwing are a bit more nuanced than that. You were correct, but didn't get the whole story. Geoff Johns LOVED Superboy. Superboy was his favorite character, you could even see his old letters to the editor in Superboy's book from the 90's. In fact, Geoff had several years of stories planned with the Teen Titans that had Superboy in it. The reason, the real reason that Superboy died, was because of real world litigation. The families and estates of Siegel & Shuster started a suit regarding the Superboy trademark. Originally, the Superman that DC owns outright debuted as an adult, with Siegel later creating the "Superman as a boy in Smallville" Superboy concept later that was argued to not fall under the deal where Superman was bought by DC (especially since Siegel made the pitch, it got denied, but then DC made Superboy anyway). So, their lawsuit presented the real threat that DC could lose the right to use the name Superboy in ANY capacity, so Conner Kent was killed, Prime was renamed (in-universe as an ego trip) as Superman-Prime, and the revised history of Superman where he WAS Superboy (thus bringing back the continuity of the original Legion of Superheroes where Superboy regularly went to the future) had to be hinted at until years later when Johns wrote Superman: Secret Origin. Because his favorite Titan was killed, Johns eventually left that book and it arguably never recovered, even past into the New 52. However, the lawsuit was resolved that DC could later use the Superboy name for OTHER characters (even recently, even for young Clark Kent again outright), so Conner was brought back and Prime went back to Superboy-Prime for his last few appearances, and now the son of Clark Kent is the new Superboy, name and all. With Nightwing, that was a sole editorial fiat from Dan Didio himself. At the time, he didn't see the point in Dick Grayson since he wasn't Batman's sidekick anymore, and that he'd never be Batman (ha!), so he wanted to remove what he considered chaff in the Batfamily. The thing was that almost literally EVERYBODY ELSE at DC fought for Dick to live, Johns at the forefront (who I believed threatened to quit if he was forced to do so). It's similar to the fiat that Quesada has against the Peter Parker/Mary Jane marriage, except in this case, Didio backed down and admitted he was dumb and Quesada still hates the Spider-Marriage (sorry Spidey fans).

[@supersaiyanindian]

Oh wow this is super interesting! (no sarcasm intended) Huge Superboy fan myself, would've loved to have seen what plans Geoff Johns would've had for him.

[@DJKennedy90]

It probably would've covered some of the territory that Johns wrote when he brought back Adventure Comics and it highlighted Superboy. Despite the truth that Luthor was one of Superboy's genetic parents coming out before Infinite Crisis started, Conner was benched for awhile at the Kent Farm. And, had the litigation not happened, he probably would have survived his fight against Prime in the Anti-Monitor Obelisk, probably having gotten some catharsis that despite he was half Luthor, he was also half Superman. Then, it probably would have dealt more with Superboy's acceptance and interactions with Luthor's family. And I'm sure the Brainiac/Luthor clone would have been introduced much earlier and actually had done something.

[@supersaiyanindian]

Man that would've been cool to see! Maybe one day these ideas could be done somehow in the future.

[@ryanschram7266]

I hope they never get rid of Dick Grayson/NightWing.

[@DavidbarZeus1]

Yeah, pretty much EVERYONE knew Geoff was doing an homage to that cover there

[@bobcarn]

That was a really nice look back at Infinite Crisis (one of my favorite special events). If I could be so bold though, I think you misunderstood the meta-commentary when Alexander Luthor said "everything comes from Superman." I think you read too much into it. It's meta-commentary, but it's even bolder than what you described (the multiverse as an explanation of how Superman changed over the years). Simply, everything you see in the comics comes from Superman. Literally. "Superman" was the birth of the entire genre. He was the first. Whether discussing DC stories or Marvel or even stories from other publishers, Superman was the first comic book superhero, and the entire genre began with him. THAT is the commentary they were making. It all comes from Superman.

[@uberbusdubs5962]

Lol "The Super Society of Secret Villains". I love hearing when you messaged up Rob, it makes it all the more charming.

[@kurtwagner1915]

I think it was the speed force that added the red sun weakness, and maybe not conciosully, but Prime knew the longer he was in the speed force, which transends, the more he'd be "caught up to speed" and the more weakness of today's superman, magic, kryponite, etc, would start to affect because the speed force was somehow making him more prone to it. But that's just a fan theory.

Wow! Thank you for posting these vids, this has really gotten me interested in reading comics again...well this and a few fb groups. DC has such good stories. I'm currently reading the New 52 Swamp Thing but apparently I need to backtrack and get to some of these older comics to catch me up

[@taylorpechter5422]

Rob, I think you you are confused on the difference between the Secret Society and the Secret Six. The Secret Society is the team of villains brought together by Lex Luthor (Alexander Luthor in disguise) to fight off the heroes. The Secret Six are a team of villains that denounced membership into the Society and formed their own team. The Six are enemies of the Society. It is all covered in Villain's United.

[@inutetsaiga1]

Thanks for these 2 videos. Superboy Prime was pretty much my favorite character from pre New 52, and I loved every story he was in except for the finale Teen Titan arc where they sealed him, cuz that made absolutely no sense that they could trash him. However, the storyline was always a bit difficult to keep up with because I wasnt aware of some of the motivations of the authors in wanting to clean up the universe and tie up loose ends of certain characters. Certain things never made sense to me, especially since I try to make the comic make more sense story wise than even the authors intend to, which means I end up with alot of non-explanations for why certain events take place, or how Superboy was so inconsistent throughout his entire run. I really loved Superboy vs. the guardians and the DC roster where he almost died on the bridge but stuck his hand into the sun and just blitzed everyone. Such an enjoyable read. I hope you continue to cover the rest of his storyline into Legion of 3 Worlds. I'd appreciate it so much

[@ldnincstudios2441]

You give me something to look forward to everyday thanks rob I love these videos

[@TheSithLibraryArchivesGalactic]

The most appropriate statement concerning Superboy Prime I feel is, "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." And He has had a very long life as a O.P. Superpowered teenager. He's lost his freakin marbles and went Joker level kill crazy. I guess spending decades as a massively powerful teenager living in the shadow of the main hero that you realize you will NEVER take that mantle for yourself would drive anyone nuts eventually.

[@sasukekuniski1959]

11:34 - One of my single most favorite panels from any comic ever is that single frame of E1 Superman saying "a perfect earth doesn't NEED a superman".

[@usethename9487]

the J makes an H sound in spanish thats why jamie is pronounced hamie (or however its spelled)

[@ragnar97]

I was about to say the same. Essentially it's pronounced Hi-meh. Considering his last name is Reyes (spanish for kings) I'd say the correct one would be the spanish one. However the US is no stranger to taking foreign names and pronouncing them however they want. Texas and mexico should be Tehas and Mehico since in old spanish the X was a J (h in english). Same goes for Xavier in the x-men, it's pronounced Havier. My own uncle had that name, spelt with an x and no one doubted it was Havier, not Savier.

[@nathanplunkett1633]

You know why you're wrong? Because both pronunciations are correct. One is English and one is Spanish and it doesn't matter which way you want to pronounce it- both are right. It's okay to be white and it's okay to speak like you are white. Never apologize for how you were born.

[@usethename9487]

true both pronunciations are correct but if he is a Mexican it would be pronounced like an h because that is his name. go call a man named that Jamie with the j pronunciation see how they like that

The dark nature of some heroes is cyclical. It reminds me of wrestling.

[@CornBreadtm1]

There are a lot of studies that pose that "some" (don't SJW me bro) women seek mates based on the possible offspring and less about the being together forever aspect. Like Lois is with Superman because Jonathon their son will have Superman's life span and abilities making him stronger and more likely to survive than a child born from two human mates. Lots of animals think the same way instinctively.

[@TheEnigmaticBM39]

It's wanting to make them more grounded to a human audience plus both Thor and superman have already intergrated and assimilated into society with their alter egos.

[@SamaritanPrime]

I actually don't like the MCU Odin because, for all the wisdom he lost an eye to obtain, Odin is a terrible parent. Example: Loki.

[@qarcon3247]

Writers do that because they think it will better humanize the characters. However in almost all Thor scenarios he's with sif in the end. Personally i always thought Superman/WonderWoman was a better match. It's asinine that Lois could even have sex with superman without dying or giving birth to a kryptonian and not getting torn to shreds in the process.

[@crozecamp]

Qarcon Superman and Wonderwoman have no chemistry. And why do people go in detail about how their sex life would be like? It's fiction for gods sake. Though if you want a "logical" explanation, then just have Red Sun light surrounding their bedroom so they can have "safe" sex.

been watching a ton of your videos bro i just thought it would be a good idea. I know for a fact you'll get views for it. especially considering your current fanbase. PS happy Easter Rob & everybody

[@kennethmartin8715]

Rob corps RULES!!

[@coffeyvideoproductions7767]

4:01 The look at least, is from The Phantom.

[@kevinhayden2260]

O.k I smell hypocrisy here, didn't the old school super heroes kill. i mean sups let a man die because he found out his secret identity, right?

[@TheEnigmaticBM39]

kevin hayden and threw a wife beater into a wall and left a man to die

[@badabingbing474]

kevin hayden DC tries too forget its old shit

[@KenBeeKJV]

@@badabingbing474 you guys are clearly missing the part where SPB being a jerk killing people is a commentary that the past isn't always as great as you remember it.

[@jiggyjay6675]

@comicsexplained. First & foremost, I am a BIG FAN of your channel. 2nd, I noticed that you are almost at 1 millions subs. So congrats in advance. Now for my Question. Are you ever going to bring back Walking Dead?

[@sirawesome2906]

video published a minute ago. comments 20 hours ago . What the hell KZbin

[@adomcbado]

Sir AWESOME lol Rob posts some of his videos on twitter a day before sometimes

[@w1lDstYLe]

I think it's made available early for patreon people and all that jazz.

[@GothamEddy]

It was unlisted for a while.

[@tavuchnuche]

I love it when you talk too fast your awesome thanks for all your videos ☝💗

[@jalenlivingston2287]

Why can't superboy prime be in Injustice?

[@nerdsforever4852]

because he would kill everyone. it took two versions of superman flinging him into a sun to weaken him and even then he still beat 40s superman to death

[@thelasso9478]

Jalen Livingston there wouldn't have even been an injustice game the injustice comics would have stopped at day 3 instead of year 5 with everybody dead and superboy prime destroying planets while blaming Obamacare for making him evil.

[@nerdsforever4852]

honestly world brecker hulk is not that impressive I mean sentry ( not the viod) is superman level and they double Koed each other

[@cheeseburgerfreddy6350]

Nerds Forever world breaker is impressive and Sentry is above superman depending on his mental state.

[@cheeseburgerfreddy6350]

@Wilfri Castillo This comment was over a year ago bud get with the times Lols

[@comicculture5410]

great video rob always wanted to read this comic, keep up the good work

[@spoonshue]

after all this I can only assume comic stories are pointless O_o heroes die then come back alive, they are reset over and over, they gain and lose powers non stop, nothing matters nothing sticks. comics need to be more like movies, books or games. give a story then end it. this whole there is 1 universe now there is a multiverse now just 1 again now many again over and over...who cares if lois lane dies? she will be back it don't matter if superman kills flash some day he will be back powers being taken earth being blown up whole time lines erased? nah don't matter all will be reset next time a new guy takes over the pen. just kind of stupid

[@ohnokylewhy2841]

Ice Kirby Many people agree with you, but keep in mind, there are WAY more great comics out there that aren't part of the superhero genre. I'm largely unimpressed by superhero stories and in constant awe of many of the other books out there.

[@spoonshue]

that's a good point

[@himurakenshiro2126]

and we have the fanboys to thank for that .

[@thelasso9478]

If comics went the way you wanted there would only be the golden age of comics. Personally I don't read comics for the ending because for the most part, thank God, there is no end just resets. I read the comics to see the journey. Being able to watch dozens of different Bruce Wayne's tackle the same challenge. Will he do it alone, with teammates, with family, with friends(if he has any at the time), with past enemies, future enemies, lovers, who knows but it will be interesting no matter which is chosen but I like the choice. That's why I read them. Like right now I want to see new 52 and pre 52 Nightwing meet because that'd be an incredibly interesting match up or fight whichever way it goes why they are going to meet/fight is interesting of course but I just really want to see them interact.

[@Nsinger998]

10:22 Your semi-heroes, Your Quasi-heroes, Your the Diet Coke of Heroes(Only one calorie! but not heroic enough!)

[@ItsaVibe22]

Really enjoyed this.

[@MGSBigBoss77]

Excellent Infinite Crisis review!

[@MGSBigBoss77]

P.S. But please slow down when you talk, pace yourself and break the discussion points you've raised more in tune to an audience who is listening. Be a good aurator not a bad one who races to cross a finish line, way too quickly man? No offense but you sound like you drank '100 Red Bull' cans!

[@houseis]

You didnt mention that the whole green lantern Corp put up a wall of pure will power hundreds of kilometers thick to stop superboy prime and punched through it with one punch

[@Odinfang]

Hey man love you work, but I have a question. Could you do a comic theories segment? If there's anything comics have given us in length through history is that burning question of what if?

[@imperiajor]

12:53 (as the Joker said... "and here we go" :)

[@bigrocky1]

I absolutely love your videos.......thank you.

[@rosemarywilliams9969]

Your excitement is amazing =)

[@Anti-HyperLink]

The only thing I've read with Blue Beetle in it is Crisis on Infinite Earths where I assume he was that original version. He also talked to the scarab/beetle.

[@samael2]

Batsman forever, je, but really this was one of the BEST vids so far, Thank-you!!

[@dherna12]

How about that scene in Sinestro Corps War special when Superboy Prime breaks out of his cell, and the next page is a bunch of rings flying over everyone’s head in the Oa cafeteria.

[@NickelAntonius]

The reason Conner Kent was killed off was due to the Siegel family's lawsuit against DC Comics over ownership of the Superboy IP. That was also the reason that Superboy Prime was aged up and renamed Superman Prime after Infinite Crisis. Once the lawsuit was settled, DC was clear to bring back Conner.

[@ensabahnur7657]

This was great!

[@masjidrats2012]

battle of metropolis was the best large scale battle DC ever did, I hope one day we can get something similar to it

[@luis10589]

Great video As always. When you starting injustice 2 videos?
