He was created, as I recall, during the Death of Superman arc. He only recently found out that the human half of his DNA comes from Luthor, and hasn't, as far as I've read, told Clark.
Jayne: There's times I think you don't take me seriously. I think that ought to change. Mal: Do you think it's likely to?

(You know, there are articles on user behavior I could be memorizing instead of frickin' Superman canon! I worry myself.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sure, but leaving aside the whole "making a living" thing, why on earth would you want to do that?

I love when this thread is busy.
I'm going to attempt to hook Jilli. Pete should live in fear.

Exactly!

The Outsiders used to be a group of misfits run by Batman, which ran concurrently with The New Teen Titans.
Art by Alan Davis (who did the original Marvelman/Miracleman) - you can see it on the site upthread that I linked with Paul Smith's art.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Aside from Metamorpho, are any of the original Outsiders still around?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Black Lightning as appeared frequently, most recently in Outsiders and Green Arrow. Katanna appeared recently in "Batman/Superman" (No slash jokes, please. Too easy.)

How is Katana doing? How's her sword?

Y'know, I've read that in this thread. Several times in fact. I must've suppressed the memory.

User experience research is interesting, goddammit! I have spent good hours on the "why do people click on 'home' on the home page" question!
Also, Harvey Birdman did a great, great riff on how Black Lightning* originally just wanted to be called Vulcan, but he ended up being tokenized by The Man. Eventually he became part of a new superhero group called the Multicultural Pals, including The Faygeleh and The Reverend Jesse Jackson, among others. God, I love Birdman.
