So who...Oooh a supernaturally hard body, want one!<br /><br />So who tooks Sunburst's continuity spot if he took Superboy's? I say none of these issues happened. The idea that Sunburst had all Superboy's adventures is ludicrous, sometimes DC tried too hard -if you're going to dump the continuity, dump the continuity. If Sunburst >was< Superboy, why the need for the Time Trapper to create a Pocket Universe, the LSH would've been looking for Takeo to mind****, not Clark.<br /><br />Oh, and wouldn't the sun bursts have make Superboy stronger?<br /><br />And speaking of Superboy, what an arse, super-hypnotising Sunburst without asking first - I expect his parents were dead within minutes of Clark leaving to tell his US friends about Sushi.<br />Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-27020981872004533282014-09-29T08:00:09.161-03:002014-09-29T08:00:09.161-03:00Very much so.

It should be noted that Sunburst' s death in CRISIS has been retconned into being what caused the heroic Dr. Light to change her personality, rather than Supergirl' s.American Hawkmannoreply@blogger.com
