I hope to see him still in the t-shirt and jeans. First of all, I find it sad that the word "yet" was used in your sentence. Not that you were wrong to do so, but that death has become such a joke in the Marvel and DC universes that it is not a matter of "if" a character will come back more as "when". As for "when" Superboy will return; no, he isn't back yet. In Teen Titans, Robin was attempting to clone Connor and failed, and he and Wonder Girl seemed to come to terms with his demise. Personally, I think he should stay dead. All characters should stay dead. Make death mean something again and whenever a writer is thinking of killing someone off, make it a huge deal rather than the revolving door it has become.

No thanks. I like Kon and want him back. Close the door once he gets back.
