Wait, what? Kon's a villain now?

WHY?!

Well, unless things changed considerably in today's issue, he's not a villain YET.


Well, unless things changed considerably in today's issue, he's not a villain YET.

They just...took him, erased his memories and put him back in a tank. He doesn't consciously remember anything about who he is, and is being marketed by the writer as having no sense of right or wrong. They were testing him in a VR simulation and he just walked by a woman in a burning house, chatting about how he thought VR!Rose, now a bitch working for a secret organization, was a nice girl. It was written to be ambiguous about whether he did it because he knew it was VR, or because he just doesn't understand right and wrong anymore, but it was enough to make me rage.

The guy writing him is working on both Superboy and Teen Titans, and it's been confirmed that Kon is going to be the Titans' first main adversary (the head of said secret organization is going to use him to get rid of the Titans, as I understand it). I think it's also implied he'll eventually be a good guy, but right now it's all "he doesn't understand right and wrong. He's a glorious weapon! CLONES HAVE NO SOULS!!!!"

It's all insanely stupid. I know it's a relaunch and all, but this is the character who was a ridiculous dork in the 90s when everyone ELSE was being dark and violent, and coming on the tails of (what I thought was) an extremely touching storyline when he realized that, no, the fact that he was born in a test tube in no way impacts who he gets to be as a person. Reintroducing the character to the world does not mean we had to redo that in a dark, violent way instead of a cheesy checklist.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING FUCK IS THIS BULLSHITTERY. SO. MUCH. RAGE.


jfc, why the hell couldn't I be into Marvel? *weeps* DC just cannot stop themsevles from fucking my favorite character of all time with a lead pipe.

But...I didn't even mention the fact that the reason he knew it was VR is because each one of his cells now apparently has its own individual consciousness!

DC took lead pipes to pretty much everyone's favorite characters this time around, I think.

Rather than copying and pasting this post under my own name, I'm just going to say "THIS"!
