Will the real Superboy-Prime please stand up?

Superboy-Prime

Okay, so SPOILERS for LEGION of THREE WORLDS #5.  You have been WARNED!!

For those of you who saw the end of Legion of Three Worlds (seriously, last time I’m warning you.  Spoilers Ahead), you know that Superboy-Prime is now trapped on Earth-Prime, with the rest of us.  And according to the issue, he is now venting his own personal brand of frustration on the DC Message Boards.

But there seems to be some confusion.  Currently, there are at least three separate posters claiming to be the real Clark Kent of our universe.  They’re going around bitching at each other and insulting everyone else in hilarious fashion.

But I can’t help but feel bad for the real Superboy-Prime, on the off chance we really does now exist in our world via some “Grant Morrison-y” summoning spell.

He traveled the Multiverse in an attempt to find a world where he was the only Superman.  At last, now he has, and what does he find but more people trying to steal his thunder and claim his rightful identity.

No wonder he’s always in such a bad mood.  The universe really is out to get him.  Not that he doesn’t deserve it.

It’s such a brilliant final punishment that it’s almost worthy of a Greek tragedy.
