Super Sons – When I Grow Up | Comics

Despite having very little in common among them, Robin and Superboy tries to stop Kid Amazo to take on entire Justice League!

On his way to school with his next-door neighbor Kathy Branden, Jon Kent took side of a bullied boy that led him into a quarrel with few bullies, who arranged a snowball fight to hurt his friends. As Jon was about to lose his cool, the timely intervention of Damian Wayne saved the day, who was disguised as their bus driver and a substitute teacher.

That night, when Batman was going out on patrol, he ditched an enthusiastic Damian behind for falling back on his homework. On Hamilton County, Superman flies off for a Justice League related emergency and Lois sends Jon to his bed afterwards.

Just as he hit the sack, Damian sneaks back on him to take Jon along with him to investigate a case of break-ins at LexCorp, Metropolis which freaked out the latter for a moment. Both Robin and Superboy were making their way onto the top of the tower when they find Lex Luthor floating behind them in his new "Superman" armor.

Since, Jon can't really fly, Robin throws Superboy down for Lex to rescue while he makes it to an unmarked level to look into but found Luthor back on his tail soon enough. These two make an escape but Robin manages to copy the security log before that.

Jon took a look at the log and is able to detect a boy walking inside for the android Amazo and then camera goes dead. The boy is then seen in multiple places at the same time and Robin identifies him as Reggie Meyer using Batman's facial recognition database.

There was an outbreak of the Amazo Virus which grant people power but all of them were cured then (Justice League – Injustice League). Reggie and his family were among the five percent who kept theirs and they formed the team "Super Duffies" to fight villains.

Tracking the last known location of Reggie's family, the Super Sons head to Providence, Rhode Island. Robin was going through some old newspaper articles when Superboy discovered the deceased bodies of Reggie's family and decides to call their dads.

Disagreement on the point led Jon to push Damian away and run into Reggie's younger sister Sara in the woods. Damian thought Jon has come back but it was the Man of Steel standing behind him and The Dark Knight ready to creep on Jon in the jungle.

The hostile attitude of the World's Finest against the Super Sons has proved that they were actually some android doppelgangers sent by Reggie AKA Kid Amazo. Sara being a technopath helps them take down many those robots and explains Reggie's plan of stealing the Amazo Armor from LexCorp next.

Using which he is creating "Amazo" duplicates that can replicate any power they came in contact with. As Robin is still reluctant about calling their dads or the Justice League, he and Jon are quickly surrounded by dozens of duplicates of themselves.

Super Sons – When I Grow Up

After having a few unofficial team-ups to fight crime under the cautious supervision of their over-protective fathers, Robin and Superboy finally have their very own monthly ongoing series titled Super Sons from DC Comics in 2017, which probably is one of the best gift we received from the DC Rebirth run so far.

The first storyline of their official team-up "When I Grow Up" collects issues #01-05 from the series. It is plotted by writer Peter Tomasi (Batman – Arkham Knight, Forever Evil – Arkham War) and he was assisted by artist Jorge Jiménez (Superman – The Final Days of Superman, Superman – Trials of the Super Sons) with his impressive drawing skills.

Super Sons Strike Out

The story focuses on a solo mission Damian Wayne begin on his own when his father left him behind from regular patrol duty but quickly realizing he needs someone to aid him on it and he then approached Jonathan Kent to pick him up as some extra-muscle from Hamilton County while both of their fathers was away.

Aside from Batman and Superman, Alfred Pennyworth and Lois Smith appearing in the story for their very important role of keeping the Super Sons in line. Following the core plot, there is a brawl in the Batcave between these two unsettling youngsters akin to the one seen in "Trials of the Super Sons", to set out their differences.

Justice League – Outbreak

The journey to 'Rebirth' continues in the second storyline of the Justice League monthly comics series. The story titled 'Outbreak' is comprised of issues #06-11 from the third monthly ongoing volume of the Justice League. Writer Bryan Hitch (Age of Ultron, The Ultimates) returns to deliver another Justice League book with assistance from artists Matthew Clark (Doom Patrol, Teen Titans), Tom Derenick, Neil Edwards and Jesus Merino.

Fear of Unknown

As Rebirth continues to bridge between past and future, it does follow up a step from The New 52. When the 'Justice League – Origin' was released, the next storyline, 'The Villain's Journey' was mostly a follow-up that focuses on the aftermath of what happened previously. DC Comics has implemented the same maneuver with 'Outbreak', staging the whole thing as a result of 'Kindred Invasion'.

Super Sons | Comics

Superboy and Robin, sons of Superman and Batman form a reluctant super-team to follow in their fathers’ footsteps.

Being the son of Batman and Talia al Ghul, Damian Wayne grew up to be a crime-fighter and served as the fifth Robin. Although his grandfather and one of his greatest enemies of his father, Ra's al Ghul intended for him to be world’s deadliest assassin, the boy eventually chose to become a hero just like his father and constantly struggles to stay on path despite his extremely arrogant nature.

Jonathan Kent on the other hand was born of World's greatest superhero, Superman and ace reporter Lois Lane at the time of "Convergence" and their family arrived at Prime Earth shortly before "The Final Days of Superman" of this world.

Being a Human/Kryptonian hybrid, Jon became a target for the entity known as Eradicator, who simply wanted to wipe out his "Human" half. He then fought back at him with superpowers inherited from his father. As sons of World's Finest superheroes; Batman and Superman, both Damian and Jon have a lot to live up to.

With completely opposite personalities of these two youngsters that very less often matches, it seems very unlikely for them to accomplish anything at all but they still manage to get their differences aside and accomplish great wonders.

Super Sons | Comics

Trials of the Super Sons
Believing Superboy to be a threat to humanity because of lack of control over his immense power inherited from his super-powered father, Robin deems him as a threat and sends assassin Maya Ducard aka Nobody to pick Jon up from school. She approaches Jon as a civilian before her cover is finally blown.

She still took the boy bearing a lot of trouble with some help from Damian's pet dragon bat Goliath. When Jon finally woke up in the Batcave, Batman came to release him followed by the Man of Steel. Before they could start a fight over him, Jon explained what really happened to stop both parties.

Leaving their fathers discussing Jon's power, Robin took Superboy to show his pets and his never-ending remarks towards the latter about accidentally incinerating his cat. This made Jon lose his temper and he got into a fight with Damian over this almost immediately by landing a punch to his gut.

When Alfred Pennyworth came to stop the boys, Robin ducked and Superboy accidentally froze the butler with his newly developed arctic breath. Because of their constant reckless behavior, both Damian and Jon are sent to Batman's boot camp.

The whole idea behind this boot camp was to discipline them and the plan was to make them go through a series of obstacles to teach them just that. However, the boys did get out of those challenges individually but not as a team, which disappoints The Dark Knight.

Upon finding their gear, Robin declares this is a game as Nobody sneak attacks on them from behind. After getting past Maya, Damian is faced by Goliath on a train while Jon rushes to his aid. Finally, the boys managed to work together and work things out seeing their fathers in trouble; not knowing of it was a ruse.

Kid Amazo
To recruit Superboy for an investigation he's been working on for some time, Damian shows up at Jon's school in the guise of bus driver and stuck around some more as his substitute teacher. That night, these two goes out looking for clues at Lexcorp but the sudden arrival of Lex Luthor complicates things for them.

By dropping Superboy off for Lex to catch as he cannot fly, Robin manages to identify one Reggie Meyer from copied security footage in the mean time, one of the very few who still retains his powers and was exposed to Amazo Virus.

With frequent use of his power, Reggie goes totally nuts and starts calling himself Kid Amazo. He even steals the Amazo Armor from Lexcorp and keeps replicating himself with a plan to take down the Justice League. Damian and Jon find his technopath sister Sara who confirms of her brother's irrational actions.

However, they were attacked by synthezoid versions of their fathers followed by dozens of doppelganger of themselves during her rescue. The Super Sons are overwhelmed by the duplicates and got captured but in the end, are both saved by Damian's back-up plans before being grounded by Alfred and Lois back at home.

Black Dawn
Batman and Robin paid a surprise visit to Kent Farm one night to inform Clark of their analysis on Superboy's DNA, which suggest that he should be at his peak as his molecular transformation is completed. The Dark Knight then visits the neighboring Cobb Family Dairy Farm to get a sample of their cow's milk but never returns back.

Robin, Superboy and Superman go looking for him next morning to no avail. When big blue goes away to continue his search, Damian is subdued with psychic powers by Jon's neighbor, Kathy Branden before she took Jon with her.

Turns out, an arch-nemesis of his father, Manchester Black has returned in town and he's been keeping Jon from accessing his full power. Kathy and her grandfather were survivors from an alien race that Black recruited earlier to do his bidding. Batman, Frankenstein, Frankenstein's Bride, Robin and many others were captured by them.

After emotionally manipulated by certain events Jon is controlled by the powerful telepath to fight his father using all of his powers. With a little help from his friend Kathy, Jon successfully defeated Black with the cost of his powers in a psychic feedback.

One of the best things happened following the post-DC Rebirth event is the brand-new team up of the Super Sons; Robin and Superboy, which has become official. Damian Wayne has been operating as Robin for quite some time even before Jonathan Kent and his parents came to Prime Earth of DC Universe.

On the other hand, the concept of Jonathan Kent was conceived by Dan Jurgens (Metamorpho – Year One, Superman/Doomsday – Hunter/Prey) and artist Lee Weeks (Hulk Smash Avengers, Superman – Lois & Clark) during "Convergence".

The World’s Smallest

Not only have these two boys had a lot to achieve yet, from the very beginning of DC Rebirth, writers has been suggesting that the new Superboy is going to become stronger than his father. When that happens, we are pretty sure that there will be consequences and a lot of potential for some great stories.

Jon also showing promises to be worthy of the title of Superboy, since Kon-El is not out there to claim the name. Besides, it is always fun to see the boys constantly bantering with each other and how their super-dads wonder if they will ever get along.
