That's almost too much to be true (the shredded cape is the tip-off that it's got to be a joke); but I wouldn't be surprised, either.

Where did you find the link?

I saw the same image on the DC website. Someone remarked that this costume has elements of the Anti-Monitor's armor, perhaps a tip-off of who the real bad guy is in Infinite Crisis. Who knows?

You're right, they look very similar:

:cry:   This picture tends to confirm my worst fears ever since I learned that Superboy-Prime had returned -- DC turned him into an Anakin Skywalker.   :evil:

I really LIKED that enthusiastic kid with an oddball sense of humor back in 1985.  After seeing what's in store for Superboy-Prime in Infinite Crisis, I can't look at DC Comics Presents #87 the same way again.   :(

Thank Rao for Kurt Busiek's "Superman: Secret Identity" -- at least there's at least ONE "Superboy-Prime" that has (so far) escaped the corruption that has blackened the ENTIRE DC Universe.  (Even CAPTAIN CARROT wasn't immune according to a recent Teen Titans story -- is NOTHING "pure and innocent" anymore?  Or are they all crammed in that infamous refrigerator somewhere?)   :cry:

I just saw this image elsewhere and have to say "yuck".

Something else I've seen recently is that they've turned JAck Kirby's classic OMAC characterm beloved by millions, into a robot with KNIVES INSTEAD OF HANDS!!!!

Crisis is awesome!

I completely agree with dto.
I hope Superboy Prime doesn't turn evil... I love that character. Oh, and that new costume is so ugly.

You're kidding, right?  It's an abomination.

(I'm assuming the t1000 is the Omac robot.)

This would mean then that Superboy Prime escapes from the Speed Force?

I don't understand. Why is the shredd cape a tip off that it's a joke? (I don't remember a lot of the details for Superboy Prime. That was just a Halloween costume or something, wasn't it?)

Quote from: "sikkbones"
i don't think the cape and the S logo will be there in the final version.
I had seen that on the DC Direct site, but didn't notice until reading your post that the "S" doesn't look like it was actually a part of the figure. It does look like it was added to the pic. That's odd.
