Ironic, since he became an enemy during the New Krypton mega-arc and attempted to kill Kara in the Man of Steel prequel comic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-11313323900698150702017-11-28T12:53:38.261-05:002017-11-28T12:53:38.261-05:00Nope, that would be Stone Boy.

I hope the writer only got half-pay for this story considering how much of it was flashbacks. Still, it was not without merit, since it did show a previously villainous character reforming and not as a trick. Although it is hard to know how Dev-Em could be taught any lessons while in super-being mode. Usually such lessons are only learned when caught and super powers make escaping the consequences of your actions fairly easy. <br /><br />I have a question that this story kind of inspired. Did they ever do an imaginary story in which Jor-El actually did convince a substantial number of people of Krypton's impending doom and hundreds, if not thousands, of Kryptonians built rockets to escape to Earth?emsley wyatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08905667921221387365noreply@blogger.com
