Superboy-Prime is one of the most ruthless and evil villains in the DC Universe. He killed the original Golden Age Superman, he massacred the Teen Titans, he was the worst thing to happen to the Green Lantern's since Parallax possessed Hal Jordan, and he plotted to destroy the entire Universe.
Emperor Palpatine it WOULD have made TONS of sense if the Superman that Superboy Prime beat to death actually was the original one that made his 1938 debut...he was the right age, all the references to him, and ultra-respectful things said and thought about him match up - he SHOUD have, by all those accounts, been the original Kal-el of the Golden/Silver Age....BUT it's unmistakeable that the name of the Superman that was killed was Kal-L, NOT Kal-el. I know, I know, that MUST have been a screw-up by the writer(s) because EVERYTHING else fits....but the original 1938 version was the one named Kal-el from Earth 1 - the one Kal-L (from Earth 2) knocked out (along with another character) and then told Superboy to take them to safety while he finished Antimonotor. WHAT the HELL were the writers thinking by naming the old Superman Kal-L and stating he was from Earth 2??? It made no sense....NONE! To further prove he was not our 1938 Superman, the writers also depicted a scene where the reporter, Clark Kent, stood outside a building called the Daily GLOBE, not the Daily Planet...making that world DEFINITELY not ours.This little twist by the writers ruined any sensical understanding of who the Superman characters really were. For instance, Kal-L fit the bill for SA/GA Superman to the T, except his name and the other two details I mentioned - that left the younger Kal-el, from Earth 1, to be our 1938 Superman (Superboy had not known, at this point, that his name was going to be revealed to be Kal-el someday).....only real problem there was that his and his Lois's ages didn't gel with their 1938 origins - both would be in their late 60's here. That's why Kal-L SHOULD have been the original Superman....but he wasn't. That begs the question that if Kal-L wasn't him, and Kal-el's age doesn't gel in order to be him...then where the HELL was he in this story? I gotta chalk this one up to writer error.....but then, since when did comics absolutely HAVE to make sense?
The whole time I just felt sorry for Prime... He seems like he was a good guy until he went insane... Because seriously, who wouldn't go insane if they found out their earth was destroyed... I probably wouldn't go to the phantom paradise universe though, but would try to cope in Earth 1... Or whatever the Pre-52 Universe was...
Indeed. He's just an unstable kid with godlike power in a world where everything gets taken from him, causing him to lash out and destroy everything around him. All in all, he just wanted to grow up and be Superman on his own world.
Amazing video Faust. I like how took a complicated character and made it seem so easy and simple to explain. I was always confused on Superboy Prime, but now I get him. Thank!
Back in the 80's, Earth-Prime was supposed to be the Earth that we live in, where all super heroes are just in comic books. So according to DC Comics, we no longer exist.
You should have mentioned that Superboy prime was based from the silver age superman not post crisis, hence he's much stronger than superman powerwise. Good synopsis, subbed.
I clicked through your channel [for hours] a few days ago... my brain still vibrates 'cause of so much information x) great history videos, you're awesome!
I noticed a little flaw in your description about Superboy being thrown into the speed force by the Flash's. Not really a flaw, but a slight lack of information. Jay Garrick had to stop running because he was too slow to keep up with the other Flash's. This led to Wally West taking on too much stress from running so fast, which flung him through reality, and into the past, present, and future, all at different times, leaving Bart as the only Flash pushing Superboy Prime. And When Superboy was about to kill Bart, because he was too weak to push him into the speed force alone, Barry Allen came out of the speed force, with Johnny Quick, and Max Mercury, and helped Bart push SBP into the speed force. This left Jay Garrick as the only remaining speedster, as this also caused the speed force to collapse, destroying it entirely, and leaving Jay Garrick only able to run at the speed of sound. Then, after he came back in his anti-monitor inspired armor, he flew away after killing Connor Kent, intent on flying through Oa at the speed of light, to cause a new big bang. After being barely slowed down by flying through a 300 mile thick wall of green lantern will power, he was slammed through Rao, the red sun of Krypton, by Kal-L(the elderly Superman of Earth 2), and Kal-El(Superman of Earth 1), and they landed far away, on the Planet Green Lantern, Mogo. SBP proceeded to beat Kal-L to death, and was then imprisoned by the Green Lanterns, after being KO'd by Kal-El, because they had all lost their powers from the red sun radiation. And also, during the whole Blackest night fiasco, you probably just didn't mention it, but Alexander Luthor Jr. was actually a Black Lantern, which is why he was alive at all, after the Joker killed him at the end of Infinite Crisis. And Prime only put on the black lantern ring because he hoped it would give him the ability to kill all the other black lanterns that ALJ brought with him, saying, "If I can't beat you- I'll join you!", not knowing that you DIE when you put on a black lantern ring. He then somehow overpowered the Anti-monitor powered black lantern rings, and managed to somehow sever all the other connections with extreme emotion. Very good video though. And I would love to see more of SBP in the future, so if he does show up, I hope you make a video of it, so I'll know.
That information is shown at 4:50, it's just not spoken. You can see Jay talk about how he's not fast enough. You could say there's a slight lack of information about pretty much everything he says. He can't be too detailed about every little thing or the video would be hours long...
Fun fact - in Prime Origins it was specifically stated that Red Sun DOES NOT affect him in this Universe....But then the author realised that he is practically invincible and wrote the "flying through Red Sun by 2 Supermans affecting him" scene, hoping people didn't remember that Prime shouldn't have been affected at all...
A combination of confusing, and awesome :) With a story like that, I can see why DC felt the need to reboot. In any case it's very cool, thanks for doing a video on all of this.
ItsSuperEffective I thought Superman-prime was from that elseworld title (or whatever it wasn't main continuity) where Superman is like God and spend like 10, 000 years in the sun or something and he was completely different then SB-Prime
ItsSuperEffective I thought Superman-prime was from that elseworld title (or whatever it wasn't main continuity) where Superman is like God and spend like 10, 000 years in the sun or something and he was completely different then SB-Prime
You're thinking of Superman One Million, a different character. He did go by Superman Prime, but I was answering the question in terms of main universe continuity. I don't cover Elseworld stuff on this channel, so if you see me answer a question and not bring up irrelevant esleworld information, please don't be surprised.
First video I've seen of yours. Thanks. I've been wanting to know more about Superboy Prime for a while. My only thing is, you didn't really emphasize on how strong he was. Did he actually put up a good fight against the justice league by himself? I thought he was stronger than superman. I'm a bit confused in regards to how strong he is. But anyway. I subscribed. Great idea for a channel.
I think he is an awesome character. It's just too bad the writing has been so inconsistent. At one point he's beating the entire DC universe then he's beaten by the Titans. What? As to your point about Monarch being stronger than him, that is incorrect. I have the comic book. Prime rips him apart. I'd say that establishes Prime to be the stronger of the two. One of the reasons he was so strong then was he absorbed oan energy. They never really go into how he absorbs energy other than solar radiation.
I have been waiting for you to do this one. Now I just need to wait till I have some moments to concentrate so I can give the video the attention I want to give it.
I genuinely enjoy your videos. I enjoy hearing your perspective then comparing them to my ideals on certain comics and story lines. I also love what you represent in comic fan basis. I love that your appearance contradicts the genuine perceptions as comics for the old socially awkward people.
I found this by mistake but if by far one of the best videos I have ever watched. Thank you so much for sharing the story of one of my favourites characters ever. :)
I like your recap on the history of Superboy Prime. I was curious about him as a fan of the Superman lore. Thanks for edifying on who is Superboy Prime.
Hi my name is Mohamed I love your work I love your news I love everything that you tell us but I was wondering if you can tell us about the history of wonder girl please I wanted to know her past and her future with the teen Titans and with her sister Wonderwoman
I read your "About" page of your UA-cam channel, would you at-least take suggestions for highest upvoted request for "History of XX character"? BTW thanks to your "History of ..." playlist, I was able to catch up to what is happening on DC, which I had to leave long back due to erratic supply of comics here. So thank you!
Hello, I am interesting about the history of superboy prime but I don't find the comics in the stores, do you have a link? I want to see how was that famous "punch of the reality" I don't understanh, he just puncho to the space? Please if you have some link sahre ir e.e Here is very diffficuld to find some comics at stores.
I feel really sorry for superboy prime, he honestly only wanted to get to him home universe, but when he did, nobody loved him anymore, includeing his own parents
Super Boy Prime vs Entire Green Lantern Corps vs Entire Yellow Lantern Corps vs Every Hero On Earth 1 (12,000+ super-powered local and galatic superhumans/aliens) = EPIC WIN! ItsSuperEffective, I love how SERIOUS you are in this video. This is your best video yet! You should just change your channel and your entire LIFE and dedicate everything you do to Super Boy Prime :-D (Even though you said at the end you hate him lol xD)
in the green lantern vs new gods arc black hand release all the creatures in the source wall but this is in the new 52 so i don't know maybe they use that
Faust , ive been following your videos for a while and I love how informative your videos are. I've been trying to catch up with the new 52 but I really want to get into the crisis series. where do you suggest I start ? I want to know everything about superboy prime, the anti monitor, monitors, everything.
PRgal101 DC just confuses me so much to begin with because it's been around for so many years and has so many events that drastically change things. The most important takeaway is that Superboy Prime is from another dimension and really hates superman.
What are some reading recommendations for anyone interested in finding out more about Superboy Prime? He's my favorite terrible character from DC, and I can't help but hear Linkara's impersonation and crack up whenever I'm reading his dialogue. I've already read Crisis on Infinite Earths, Infinite Crisis, Sinestro Corps War, and Blackest Night.
ItsSuperEffective Exactly, you even said Super Boy Prime hasn't appeared yet in the New 52 and that you didn't know if he was going to be because he's still stuck on the Source Wall.
ItsSuperEffective Nice presentation!I'm glad theres someone else such as yourself that still reads the comics or still likes the comics,it feels sometimes like i'm the only one that still likes DC comics or marvel comics,sometimes I feel like most people are moving to mangas or Japanese comics or animes.
Can you do an original (non 52) history of the Conner Kent Superboy? It's long and confusing to me and no one really talks about it. And then, of course, I think a Superboy Jon history is necessary soon considering Rebirth and all that.
You should be called The "Source" for I loved how you explained what had happened to Superboy Prime... I got almost all of the past issues except for beyond him carving the S symbol into his chest...
In the new 52 Black Hand touched the source wall and brought everything in it back as black lanterns, however after the large fight which ended with new genesis being destroyed the beings that became black lanterns returned to life rather then to the source wall. Don't know if Prime came back as well. I hope he did though
have you ever thought about what happened in the event known as Convergence when the heroes in the end traveled back in time the the events of crises on infinite earths and prevented the universe from collapsing that means that superboy prime never became a villian in the first place.
+cheshire katt He hasn't shown up yet.Last we saw of him, pre-Flashpoint, he was stuck on the Source Wall, which may or may not have been affected by the reset.If it wasn't, and he was still stuck there after the New 52 started, he may have been able to get out when Black Hand did he "the dead shall rise" shtick on the wall and released a bunch of shit during Light's Out, a Green Lantern event by Vendetti.Otherwise he's still there on a different part, or got wiped away with Flashpoint.
Thank you so much I really wanted to know about superboy prime really helpful video (I have a question not about the vid can u tell me the difference between variant comics abd the normal ones?)
I hated Super Emo Boy Prime. Started out good, but became a villain and 4th wall breaking troll. Well if you really want to put an end to character guess what stick him/her in the source wall of the DC universe.
Good news.. he is back! He got freed from the destruction of the source wall but somehow ended into some kind of a magical prison. It doesn't make sense since he is not affected by magic. He is going after Shazam at present.
O my gosh. It's you again. I liked the first videos you made man. Some how you became weirder looking since the last time I saw you. Haha. Have a nice day.
superboy prime is basically Thanos in marvel. He completely toyed with the cosmics destroyed universes , even created them , Broke the fourth wall , Kills Everyone and he didn't even need the IG , like thanos did.
Superboy-Prime no matter what he did was hated by all the other character in DC but he was awesome and nobody liked that about him and in his origin story in DC comics presents #87 it was revealed the he was not from smallville but in fact it stated that he was from New England. The irony for me in this fact is very delicious because there is someone alive today that has been given the same treatment by everyone outside of New England that Superboy-prime as been given in the comics. Just like Superboy-prime killed the original Superman in infinite crisis the real Superman Prime of this reality destroyed all the world records of the hero he grew up watching as a child. Have you figured out who I'm talking about? Well as the saying goes "don't spit in the wind", Don't tug on Superman's cape and "Don't mess with Tom Brady! WOW
Superboy-Prime is one of the most ruthless and evil villains in the DC Universe. He killed the original Golden Age Superman, he massacred the Teen Titans, he was the worst thing to happen to the Green Lantern's since Parallax possessed Hal Jordan, and he plotted to destroy the entire Universe.
If someone brings him back, he/she better make him like he was supposed to be.

I probably wouldn't go to the phantom paradise universe though, but would try to cope in Earth 1... Or whatever the Pre-52 Universe was...
I believe it was called new earth (earth 1)
*''I'LL KILL YOU TO DEATH!!!''*
He's a great character though regardless. Would make an epic movie if they focused on him.
Robin MXZ people die if they’re killed
It could be worse, he could plan on killing you to life.
He also had some of the most epic fights ever, destroying the green lanterns and Ion Sodam Yat, most of the DC verse in general.
His fight with Sodam was one of the best fights in comics ever.
Harnam Chana You sir, are correct! :)
TheAstrius
Can you please elaborate ?
Am I the only guy who likes Superboy Prime? Like a lot. For some reason, I just find him so intriguing.
he's story is so sad
I like him too!
Indeed. He's just an unstable kid with godlike power in a world where everything gets taken from him, causing him to lash out and destroy everything around him. All in all, he just wanted to grow up and be Superman on his own world.
me too
I always thought he should have had a redemption story arc.
I hope this channel becomes one of the greats on UA-cam. Good luck!
Amazing video Faust. I like how took a complicated character and made it seem so easy and simple to explain. I was always confused on Superboy Prime, but now I get him. Thank!
I like how they managed to make the S symbol look like the most evil looking symbol on Superboy Prime yet it looks so heroic on the other Kryptonians.
WOW dude, the amount of detail and back story you put in your videos is always above and beyond.
Back in the 80's, Earth-Prime was supposed to be the Earth that we live in, where all super heroes are just in comic books. So according to DC Comics, we no longer exist.
been waiting for you to do this one! great as usual!
I love your history of superheroes! Do more soon! :)
I do one a week. I can't afford to do more than that at this moment in time.

Please read the FAQ on my channels "about" page.

what is the difference between superboy prime and superman prime?
They're the same person, for some time there was a legal issue with the name Superboy, so DC avoided using it where they could.
k thanks

good job sir! thanks for this
Superboy prime decided to become a basement dwelling otaku?
I already like him.
I think he is an awesome character. It's just too bad the writing has been so inconsistent. At one point he's beating the entire DC universe then he's beaten by the Titans. What? As to your point about Monarch being stronger than him, that is incorrect. I have the comic book. Prime rips him apart. I'd say that establishes Prime to be the stronger of the two.

Please if you have some link sahre ir e.e Here is very diffficuld to find some comics at stores.
Thank u your cool for doing these vids for people like me keep it up
SBP is badass
so if i'm right superboy prime starts in dc comics presents vol 1 87 and then his story goes straight into infinite crisis?
I appreciate your passion for the characters. Thanks to you, Batwoman is now one of my favorites.

I've been waiting for this one for so long ;-; the wait was worth it haha thanks Faust! And keep up the great work! =D

Thank you so much for the history of Superboy Prime. He's a very fascinating & disturbing comic book character.
Did anyone else see that the girl had a black lantern ring at 11:38 bottom right corner.
Faust , ive been following your videos for a while and I love how informative your videos are. I've been trying to catch up with the new 52 but I really want to get into the crisis series. where do you suggest I start ? I want to know everything about superboy prime, the anti monitor, monitors, everything.
Anybody else even more confused after watching this?
PRgal101 DC just confuses me so much to begin with because it's been around for so many years and has so many events that drastically change things. The most important takeaway is that Superboy Prime is from another dimension and really hates superman.
Benjamin Wambeke Agreed. You got Crisis on Infinite Earth, Superboy Prime, the Golden Age, the Silver Age. It's too much to keep up sometimes.
What are some reading recommendations for anyone interested in finding out more about Superboy Prime? He's my favorite terrible character from DC, and I can't help but hear Linkara's impersonation and crack up whenever I'm reading his dialogue. I've already read Crisis on Infinite Earths, Infinite Crisis, Sinestro Corps War, and Blackest Night.
You forgot to tell how he just punched his way out of the phantom zone.
Super by prime has been in the teen titans New 52 comics...
That wasn't Superboy Prime, that was John-Lane Kent, a totally different character.
ItsSuperEffective Exactly, you even said Super Boy Prime hasn't appeared yet in the New 52 and that you didn't know if he was going to be because he's still stuck on the Source Wall.
ItsSuperEffective Nice presentation!I'm glad theres someone else such as yourself that still reads the comics or still likes the comics,it feels sometimes like i'm the only one that still likes DC comics or marvel comics,sometimes I feel like most people are moving to mangas or Japanese comics or animes.
Love all your vids about superheroes and villians!! Would be awesome to see one about Harley Quinn from her own comic series :)
I love your videos! and your shirt >.
Talking about two years down the line today is the day before Rebirth comes out hmm
Your shirt 😂 I love it
Can you do an original (non 52) history of the Conner Kent Superboy? It's long and confusing to me and no one really talks about it. And then, of course, I think a Superboy Jon history is necessary soon considering Rebirth and all that.
Keep up the good work
me confused...??...?
me to :S
You should be called The "Source" for I loved how you explained what had happened to Superboy Prime... I got almost all of the past issues except for beyond him carving the S symbol into his chest...
Yeeessss I was waiting for this :D
In the new 52 Black Hand touched the source wall and brought everything in it back as black lanterns, however after the large fight which ended with new genesis being destroyed the beings that became black lanterns returned to life rather then to the source wall. Don't know if Prime came back as well. I hope he did though
Always wanted to know aboyt prime! Thanks for an awesome vid!
Is infinite crisis supposed to be like the ending story or something? I know I put that in a stupid way but you know what I mean
have you ever thought about what happened in the event known as Convergence when the heroes in the end traveled back in time the the events of crises on infinite earths and prevented the universe from collapsing that means that superboy prime never became a villian in the first place.
Do the history of Argent from the Teen Titan comics. I feel she's very underrated. Oh and great video, like always
well its been a few years. Has anything changed with him in the new 52?
+cheshire katt He hasn't shown up yet.Last we saw of him, pre-Flashpoint, he was stuck on the Source Wall, which may or may not have been affected by the reset.If it wasn't, and he was still stuck there after the New 52 started, he may have been able to get out when Black Hand did he "the dead shall rise" shtick on the wall and released a bunch of shit during Light's Out, a Green Lantern event by Vendetti.Otherwise he's still there on a different part, or got wiped away with Flashpoint.
what made you wanna do your hair like that? its cool
can you update your history playlist as it's not up to dated with your other history videos
Finally!
Please do one about the creator of dcuniverse or is is known as the "Voice" I am so confused about him...
Hey I have been wondering if you are ever going to do an episode on the amalgam comics series?
hay new poster, cool :)
i love your hair.....and your shirts. could you please tell me where you get the comic based ones???
Thank you so much I really wanted to know about superboy prime really helpful video
(I have a question not about the vid can u tell me the difference between variant comics abd the normal ones?)
Faust your cool at making histories of DC and Marvel. I was asking could do a history about Static Shock.
love your dc stuff
7:45, such a Badass panel
I hated Super Emo Boy Prime. Started out good, but became a villain and 4th wall breaking troll. Well if you really want to put an end to character guess what stick him/her in the source wall of the DC universe.
Didn't they already in Superman Doom? He punched Braniac into the multiverse where he saw pre-52 Supes.
In the new 52 the black lantern broke the source wall does that mean he'll be back.
I love you DUDE! YOu are the best!!!!
Good news.. he is back! He got freed from the destruction of the source wall but somehow ended into some kind of a magical prison. It doesn't make sense since he is not affected by magic. He is going after Shazam at present.
I like the new hair dye :)
O my gosh. It's you again. I liked the first videos you made man. Some how you became weirder looking since the last time I saw you. Haha. Have a nice day.
Also Jason Todd red hood being reborn using the waters of tax all gul makes more sense.
superboy prime is basically Thanos in marvel. He completely toyed with the cosmics destroyed universes , even created them , Broke the fourth wall , Kills Everyone and he didn't even need the IG , like thanos did.
What is the source wall?
Superboy-Prime no matter what he did was hated by all the other character in DC but he was awesome and nobody liked that about him and in his origin story in DC comics presents #87 it was revealed the he was not from smallville but in fact it stated that he was from New England. The irony for me in this fact is very delicious because there is someone alive today that has been given the same treatment by everyone outside of New England that Superboy-prime as been given in the comics. Just like Superboy-prime killed the original Superman in infinite crisis the real Superman Prime of this reality destroyed all the world records of the hero he grew up watching as a child. Have you figured out who I'm talking about? Well as the saying goes "don't spit in the wind", Don't tug on Superman's cape and "Don't mess with Tom Brady! WOW
📹🔬📽🎥💯👁👁
Why isn't the Phantom Zone used more often cause they could have just thrown Prime into the Zone: problem solved
I feel sorry for Prime
Is this a different Superboy Prime? Because i remember that Superboy Prime was killed not locked away.
