This is what the backup of Action Comics 1057 was supposed to be setting up

yikes
You know what? Yeah, I'd rather have this them aged up Jon.
How about this, you get kid Jon back but he is now an icon for the protect trans kids movement and he starts transitioning.
Ew
>Conner to Connie
I'm sold.
Justice for Connie Kent
Yeah, sure, why not.
Capeshit writers are truly batshit insane.
But in a good way.
Yeah, better to give manga even more promotion.
They are writing for themselves not an audience.
Reason the Ninja Turtles run Post 100 is shit.
I, the audience, have been trying to get Female Conner Kent for years so maybe shut your mouth before you try to speak for me.
Calm the frick down Ashley
Nobody cares what troons like you want.
You've got Three other Supergirls to choose from. One is practically Conner already. Stop running characters trying to foist them into being a plaything.
Why stop at three supergirls when I can have four?
I agree.
Cir-El is right there.
Cir-El isn't how Konni-el would act thou.
There’s been three reboots since Cir-El was last seen.
You can easily make her that way.
And we can make Kon-El trans too while we're at it.
Kon-El is still being used and hasn’t fallen into obscurity
No, but he definitely has a bit of "redundancy" to him.
I don't want her to be trans
Huh?
You’re a Cir-El fan? An actual fan?
Why do you not want this character to change?
She’s already not used in the Superman comics, was retconned away both in universe and in the meta sense, and has been overwritten by the returned Kara.
>>Why do you not want this character to change?
>why don't you want this character to be ruined?
Unlike Superboy Conner Kent, Cir-El ain’t never coming back and used by DC.
So you might as will do that to her.
Nobody wants her to be trans
Nobody wants her period
I do homosexual
Technically Mags barely does capeshit
What are the odds this will be canonized in a few years because now Twitter morons have the idea in their head?
Not sure why this work for hire writer thought they could get away with this.
Superboy is already a IP in the franchise and has appeared in multimedia like Death of Superman, HBO Max Titans, and Young Justice cartoon.
You’re not going to be able to walk in and change a character significantly like that be making them trans.
Making Someone low key like Harper Row’s brother in the Gotham Knights show as trans…..sure. Maybe even Harper Row herself, but definitely not Conner Kent.
What kind of a pipe dream are they going for??
This also feeds into the vileness of Cinemaphile ‘a dead and more proof that they are right that LGBTQ writers are trying to change the already existing characters into rep for themselves rather than just being a LGBTQ writer who is writing for the already existing character without an agenda.
This is crazy
Yeah, that sounds as crazy as making Iceman gay.
Gay Iceman still visibly looks like Iceman.
You don’t even have to mention his love life in media adaptations, since the most known thing about it is that Bobby was a starting point for Polaris until she left him for Havok.
no one turned him gay bigot.
Jean brain melted him gay
Hell, revealing that an relatively obscure Superman franchise character like Cir-El is trans would be way easier, plausible and editorial most likely would have gone for it.
Now you’ve got a resurgence of an obscure character and you have your trans representation.
Just what the hell was Visaggio thinking.
>Just what the hell was Visaggio thinking.
He was thinking "what can I do to rile up people today for 2 minutes in between begging for rent money even though I was the most sought after writer 2 years ago and even had a show on scifi"
^feeds into the vileness of Cinemaphile and their fears that
as an alt version from another universe? Yeah that can happen
>Reading capeshit in current year
When will you losers ever learn
Nothing wrong with that if they decided to kill off New52 Kon-El that was a clone of an alternate reality infant Jon Kent that Superman mistakenly assumed died as an infant when infant Jon Kent in reality was just taking a nap. Female Connie Kent can be the clone that replaces him.
That’s not what she wanted. She wanted to troon out the existing superboy. Put him on hormones and shit.
>put him on hormones and shit
how does that work with his part alien biology?
ITS BECAUSE MAGS IS A BABY BRAINED DEGENERATE WHO COULDNT WRITE HIMSELF OUT OF A WET PAPER BAG
Kryptonian science.
Actually, the transition would be done through bullshit Kryptonian technology.
The pitch pretty much boils down to
>Kon is having identity issues with living in the farm, being stuck as Superboy while there are other Supermen around, and just generally being in Clark's shadow
>His secret more Luthor-like brother, Leland, reveals they have mental decay or something like that, and only their secret creator from the future can fix them
>They go to the future where their creator is from
>This future has the Superman legacy be evil and tyrannical
>The whole reason Kon and his brother exist is because their creator wanted to add humanity to the Superman Dynasty
>This leads to a Superman event where the Super-Family all go into the future and beat the evil Supermen
>Conner becomes Superman-V, finally becoming Superman
>They beat the bad guys but Conner still feels bad because by becoming Superman he's just kinda following the path that was chosen for him
>And also because he's apparently forgotten in this future
>His brother stays to find out why Conner is forgotten
>Kon goes back to the past, moves out of the Kent farm, gets a new name and costume as "Skyrocket" and goes to find his own place in Dripping Springs, TX with Jinny Hex
>He becomes a car repairman, he joins a band, he graduates high school, but it still doesn't feel quite right
>He flies back to Honolulu, and finds his brother there, who fout out why the future forgot him, with a gift for him
>Kryptonian technology that expands into a chamber for Conner to get into
>"Just step in, and be yourself"
>Connie emerges
I'm paraphrasing, but that's pretty much the gist of it.
>Magical ranma sex change
You know what. I'm ok with that.
New 52 Kon doesn't exist anymore, same as New 52 Bar Torr, they got replaced by the regular Kon and Bart.
>this is as natural a move as Iceman coming out.
So not natural at all? Checks out.
Luthor dodged a bullet with his son unlike Lois's son.
Question, what are some other dumb rejected pitches like this?
Not stuff like Black Thrashers which was done as a joke
now can he frick Tim Drake?
If you make Superboy trans doesn't that just make her Supergirl according to these people?
No because Kon-El would be Supertransgirl.
>badass b***h
She'd be Skyrocket because there's already a Supergirl and being Superboy when Jon is younger than him and Superman is degrading
I feel like they're missing the obvious options of Ultraboy or Power Boy or Supernova or Nightwing of Krypton
But I guess jumping straight to trans girl is the best they can think of
Her name being Cir-El instead of Cir Kal-El implies they forgot the Kryptonian naming scheme with her
Same with Lara Kon-El. She would be Lara Kal-El if anything
That because Cir-El was never a true Kryptonian. She was a human girl and Brainiac (or the Futuresmiths) forced Kryptonian genetics onto her so she could be his sleeper agent.
Dont the gays/lesbians hate the trans and vice-versa?
No. That’s a generalization. That’s like saying all white people and black people hate each other.
>that jaw
>that hairline
kek even in fiction they can't pass
capeshit is truly fricked isn't it
At least it was rejected
>Trans Conner Kent
I’m assuming Ethan Van Scier and abounding Into Comics are already ranting about this.
Any links?
>I assume the only sane people in comics are bringing this to light
Most of use probably pulled it from Zack. Thats where I read it.
Bendis supported it.
At this point, Bendis is legit the worst writer in comic books. It is like he only exists to make trash.
Now that Conner is the default Hetrosexual Superboy, how long til DC Comics makes Jon Kent a transsexual?
>all this to differentiate him from the rest
Is it still too late to deage Jon? Please?
Sorry anon, Editorial didn’t approve that but they did approve John being sent in to the past to actually become Jor-El and deaging Conner to Damien’s age for a whole new SuperSons alongside Trinity. That’s basically what you wanted but better, right?
NTA, If DC Comics tried to push Conner and Damian as the new Super Sons, that would legit be hilarious and awful.
Trying to make Conner Kent a kid and into Damian’s best friend would just further make Jon even more obsolete and take away from Tim Drake.
Super-ma’am
Even some other tabs people are going WTF Visaggio!
What the frick
>auto-sage
Mods wtf
Mods are butthurt
Why?
Shouldn’t they be impartial?
Should? Yes. Are? No.
Can't have shit in FTM town
At least it was rejected.
Why isn’t this staying on page 1 the more we comment?
Mods put this thread and
on auto-sage it seems.
They're just falling down the catalog no matter how much we post, they can't be bumped.
What the frick mods?
They outright pruned a thread with this topic an hour ago or so.
God forbid we discuss Cinemaphile news.
>SKYROCKET_ Conner Kent Pitch-4.pdf
>4
>Four
What the frick is in the other 3 pitches?
Hopefully Selfclaimed bawd Superboy.
Conner returns to his roots as he goes around and has one night stands with Superheroines (and some super villainesses). Some younger and some older than him.
I’d read it!
If nothing else, this would've driven TimKon fans nuts.
>reading through the pitch
>one of the images is a comic page with a watermark to a piracy site
lmao
I thought you were joking, that's hilarious.
Oh geez. That pitch
Kek! Can’t even be bother to edit/cut the watermark out.
hatebump
Won’t work, anon. Mods put the thread on autosage.
Mods really don't want people talking shit about troonys, don't they?
Make Linda Danvers's and Pre-Crisis Earth-1 Superman's daughter a trans boy
Ariel was originally a male name so it fits
Stupid.
silly writer, they'd just push even further beyond and make them genderfluid
