For all your Conner Kent fic writing needs!

He was never created to be SuperBOY. He was just let out of his clone tube early. Chronologically, his development stopped at about age 16. He's a year older than Bart Allen, and two years older than Tim Drake.

The Kid spent his first year as a superhero in Hawaii. He was also mostly a publicity stunt.

He is tiny, compared to Clark. In fact, he's only an inch taller than Tim (but about 25 pounds heavier)

One of his aliases for his secret identity is Carl Grummet (based on the writer and artist for his original comic)

His signature leather jacket has been replaced dozens of times because it gets destroyed in most of his fights.

Kyle Rayner taught him how to draw, and he sculpted the statues of the Young Justice members that stand in their display room.

His powers sometimes get away from him and act out his subconscious desires- they once destroyed every handgun in the city when he was upset, and while getting frustrated trying to give a baby a bottle, it blew up.

He sleeps with a teddy bear.

Fellow DNAlien Dubbilex was his tutor, and Kon considered him his dad. He also considered his agent's daughter Roxy to be his big sister.

He. Is. A. Geek. He is a rabid Wendy The Werewolf Stalker fanboy, quotes Star Trek from memory, and collects rare Magic the Gathering cards.

He briefly had a crush on Cassandra Cain and was even her first kiss, but they both realised that what they both wanted was to be friends.

The piercing in his left ear is actually from the Project 13 identity tag that he had in his clone tube.

After Project Cadmus shut down, he was homeless and living in the bathtub at Young Justice HQ. Because he doesn't have a firm grasp on how the world works, when he tried to get an apartment of his own, he tried to pay his rent with a bag of toys and snacks. Eventually he ended up as a superintendent at a slum building.

Before he was adopted by the Kents, he used to visit them from time to time, hoping to get affection from Ma Kent.

The Justice League once strapped his ass to a nuke and blasted him into the multiverse. There, he met dozens of other versions of himself. One of those versions was a Robin who took the role after that world's Tim was killed.

And of course, for your shipping needs:

He can pinpoint Tim's voice out of everyone in Gotham, as well as track him across the globe.

He knows that Tim tried to clone him after he died.

After their first mission together, he thinks that he and Tim are going to end up as Bart's parents.

Tim's 'Robin voice' seems to turn him on.

He has dreams about Bart as a Playboy Bunny version of the White Rabbit.

Or water fountains, public washrooms, outdoors tables, etc, etc

Image: comic page, conversation between Bruce and Alfred: Bruce: Former mayor Armand Krol is dead. Alfred: After escaping the threat of the Apocalypse Virus? Bruce: He didn’t quite escape it. The symptoms of the clench recurred in him. But this attack was was more virulent. It killed him within hours. Alfred: But Master Tim was afflicted– Bruce: I know, Alfred. I know.

Tim’s voice from off-page: You won’t believe who I met tonight, guys–

Final panel is Tim in front of Jason Todd’s memorial case, alarmed. Tim: What is it? Why’re you looking at me like that?

Found it! On the subject of Jason’s memorial case as narrative device, noted in tags that the case is also used visually to indicate that Tim is in danger: no matter how improbable with the layout of the cave, they show it behind him when it turns out the Clench can be recurring.

Wanted to find it for reference. It’s the end page of Robin 1993 issue 31, the one where Tim & Ariana go to a car show and meet Ted Grant (Wildcat).

…oh huh skimmed through the issue looking for this and found this panel

Image: comic panel of part of a conversation between Wildcat and Tim: Wildcat: Call the cops? I thought you and the Bat jumped in where angels feared to tread and all that. Tim: Only when there’s no alternative. I got the job for my sense of caution…

They’re chasing car thieves who made off with a Waynetech prototype. After this Tim winds up jumping into danger anyway ‘cause Wildcat took the lead, but it’s interesting that Tim gets this line when the issue is going to end with a reminder of Jason’s death, and the virus Tim was exposed to while on the job as Robin.

Today in absolutely bonkers decisions Bruce Wayne has made: Send Jean-Paul Valley as Azrael to Alaska to protect Tim during the Contagion arc. Without giving Tim or Alfred a heads up.

You know. Jean-Paul. The guy whose deeply-ingrained programming lead to him spiraling into excessive violence while standing in for Batman and strangling Tim in an attempt to kill him. But hey! He snapped out of it and is very sorry!

Bruce. Bruce, no.
