Superboy is in for not just one, but two "daddy" reunions in the upcoming issues of Action Comics and Young Justice.Brain Michael Bendis, the current writer of Action Comics, teased on Twitter that, aside from Conner meeting up with Superman, he may also come face-to-face with Lex Luthor. In the comics, Conner shares the DNA of both Luthor and Superman.
Readers can expect the reunion as early as April, when Action Comics #1022 and Young Justice #15 crossover. Brian Michael Bendis will write both issues, with John Romita Jr. and Klaus Janson providing the Action Comics art and John Timms providing it on Young Justice.
Superboy/Kon-El/Conner Kent first debuted in The Adventures of Superman #500 in 1993 and was created by Karl Kesel and Tom Grummett. Originally a clone of Superman created by Project Cadmus, the character was eventually retconned as a hybrid being formed from the DNA of Lex Luthor and Superman.
