We should excuse , since the assumption outline above is going to throw a LOT of fans ofSuperboyandYoung Justicefor a loop . Especially since Conner Kent – the real , leather jacket wearing Superboy – has been missing for old age . Fans now know that he ’s been awake and well on another world , where he set up a liveliness , met a married woman , and sire a child . So it ’s only veracious that he should name her after the only family he ever knew on Earth … and the closest thing he ever had to amother .
Superboy’s Wife, Lophi
It was enough of a surprisal for Bart Allen to identify Conner Kent alive and well on Gemworld , having aged to the point of farm a scruffy beard ( and having clearly re - meet his first superhero costume as ' The Metropolis Kid ' upon his escape into the world ) . But the woman who appear , baby cling to in her munition , ask if Conner was alright after run into a hyperactive speedster ?

And all things consider , Conner ’s adopted female parent , too ( even if he had far few years with them than Clark enjoyed ) . It ’s a instant that might be missed , but as it becomes open that Conner will have to get by with the invaders on his and Lophi ’s property by effect , Lophi run in spite of appearance to safety while calling baby " Martha " by name .
It ’s a beautiful touch by writer Brian Michael Bendis , and Patrick Gleason ’s artwork bring home the bacon in creating a child interpretation of Martha Kent that more than last up to the legacy . We ca n’t say for certain if Conner will leave his house behind in Gemworld to return to Earth , or if they will accompany him back to foregather Superman and the remainder of the family .
