Damien Wayne and Jonathan Kent have meet their catch inAdventures of the Super Sons # 1with in dry pint - sized versions of some of the DC Universe ’s most severe villains . In the newest miniseries about Robin and Superboy , the young hoagie are being hunted by the like of Joker Jr. , Kid Deadshot , Brainiac 6 and , weird of all , Rex Luthor .
As Robin and Superboy , Damien and Jon are the second generation of their top-notch don , Batman and Superman . Yet these newest villains have no ( biologic ) relationship to their more grown - up counterparts . Even so , the new " cutesy " baddies might take out the super Logos before their new adventure has even really start .

dangerous undertaking of the Super Sons # 1starts off innocently enough . It ’s coiffure a little scrap before the current continuity of the DC Universe . Damien and Jon are getting quick to spend their summer vacation aside from The West - Reeve School in Metropolis by superhero - ing together . As per common , Superboy is far more excited for their adventure than Robin . While Jon calls it " The Summer of Super , " Damien offers to yield Jon literally 1000000000000 of buck to stop call up it that .
It turns out Robin ’s usual sourness is justified . Jon and Damien ’s superhero adventures total to a crashing halt due to the fresh supervillain group , know as The Gang . After defeating ( a statue of ) Superman , Damien and Jon number face to face with The Gang , discovering they have been spy on the pair from outer space . Oh , and they ’re also de - aged doppelgangers of some of their fathers ' greatest enemy .
Rex Luthor , Joker Jr , Briainiac 6 and Kid Deadshot have all been cite , but The Gang also consists of Shaggy Boy ( a take - off on an obscure villain Shaggy Man ) and Ice Princess ( a female Captain Cold ) . Rex is the loss leader of The Gang , of course , just asLex Luthor is to the Legion of Doom .
Rex Luthor explains that The Gang is from " low-cal - years away " and they ’re just admirers of the super residential district , heroes and villain alike . They ’ve come to Prime Earth on a hunting trip for Robin and Superboy . It ’s more probable that The Gang is from an alternate universe rather than outer infinite , as Rex implies , but the basic gist is clear : The Gang is not the young Legion of Doom as much as they might appear and represent like them .
After " unmask " to Robin and Superboy , Rex pulls out his braggy weapon system : a clod of gold kryptonite . One of the lesser known forms of kryptonite , atomic number 79 kyrptonite can strip Superman of his powers -permanently . Without much admonition , Rex uses the kyptonite on Jonathan , with the proceeds terminate on nothing but Superboy ’s screams . patently the upshot wo n’t be fatal , since Jon still has his power since inBrian Michael Bendis’Supermanseries , which takes place afterAdventures of the Super Sons . But it would sure enough spice up this story if Robin and Superboy were put on an equal performing champaign , power - wise , while facing The Gang .
A infant Legion of Doom is a terrifically weird idea , and fitsAdventures of the Super Sons ' overall goofy note , but it ’s outlandish enough to turn even some lighthearted readers off . Although … more about Rex Luthor ’s backstory , and how he became a denudate and violent egomaniac before puberty might be welcome .
