HEE!
Tom, that was running through my head.
Heh. Mine, too. As well as "Oh, my god! They killed Conner!" "You bastards!!!"
What a week to be too broke to buy my comics!
Me, I'm just wondering how Superboy Prime, who'd been shown to have the same essential upbringing and heroic outlook as the Earth-1 Superman prior to this series, turned into a psychotic, murderous, whiny five-year-old despite the influence of Earth-2's Superman and Lois over the past 21 years .
Matt, I suspect that Alex messed with Superboy-Prime's head (not literally; in a Yoko Factor headgames way) while Earth-2 Supes was preoccupied with Lois being ill and dying. In fact, that's the reason that Alex gave for the ease with which he and SPB were able to slip away from their fortress thingie, so I just extrapolated that he also used Supes' preoccupation as an opportunity to fuck with SPB's mental state.
My interpretation was the same as Steph's. Plus, I think his fight with the Titans in #4(?) completely unhinged him.
But there were signs of the weird regressive behavior before that fight, and of his jealous resentment/hostility toward Kon as well. I just guess I don't see someone raised by the Kents as cracking in the particular way he's been shown to .
Hmm, perhaps the fact that HIS Kents got whited out with Earth-Prime in the Crisis and he never got the chance to deal with that could be a factor.
Yup, I'm with Kalshane on the unhinging in #4.
