Now , Suicide Squad 2021 yearly # 1from Robbie Thompson , Eduardo Pansica , Julio Ferreira , and Dexter Soy go out the original Superboy putting the piece together , despite the Squad Superboy ’s determination that he is the true article . Unfortunately , without his"medicine,“Waller ’s Conner Kent starts to deteriorate and his true ego is revealed : rather than being a brand new Superboy ringer , this Conner Kent is actually an one-time clone who eventually took on the name Match , being aBizarro - esque copyof Conner created by the evil organization fuck as the Agenda ( who was also a part of Deathstroke ’s version of Titans East ) .
While Match is still in denial , the truth is confirmed when they come upon that Waller has sent the Squad to a black site filled with Superboy knockoff created by the Agenda . It seems as though Waller was in control of this black situation , and the medicinal drug she wanted Match to take was a serum that made him bet and vocalize more like the original Conner Kent . Not only is this a major reveal that brings back a preceding DC type who has n’t been seen for class , but it ’s also yet more test copy that Amanda Waller is just as direful as any villain , misrepresent Match and masking his true nature as acorrupted copy of Superboy .
While this will massively change Match ’s dynamic with the Suicide Squad and Waller , it ’s a fill-in for many fans to see that the real Conner Kent is free to live his sprightliness and have novel adventure aspart of Superman ’s family , rather than being immediately torn from his fresh status quo . Match clearly does n’t deserve what ’s pass to him , but the opening of him becoming Earth-3 ’s Superman has now take on new context , given this would really be a fresh start ( rather than plainly an unwilling transplantation , as it would have been for the actual Conner . ) The truth about theSuicide Squadand itsSuperboyhas finally been revealed , and it ’s going to be fantastically interesting to see what happens next now that Match ’s unfeigned self has come to lightness .
