It could that, there's a spoon AND a needle, the only thing missing is a pipe and lighter.

As I recall, it was supposed to be heroin.

YAY I PASSED A MILESTONE

That sounds extremely painful.

Some good thoughts in there, but as a practical matter, Mon-El is just Kal-El with a different vulnerability. Yeah, vulnerability to lead is MUCH worse than kryptonite, but there’s workarounds for that.

That's fair. He's just so bland. I'll amend: how about Star-Man (Mikaal Tomas)?

Yeah, it would be.

Isn't there an Ultraboy, who has all the powers of Superboy, but only one at a time?

Yes! He's a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes.

They've made Mon-El more interesting at times.

Post-Crisis, he was Valor and they showed his (previously almost non-existent) 20th century adventures that were a prelude to him going into the Phantom Zone until the LSH era. So he was a cosmic hero, bopping around the DC Universe for a few years, and seeing ancestors of the threats the LSH would face, etc. It was decent.

During the 5 Years Later era, they used him to replace (at that point, written out of continuity) Superboy in past LSH stories, which also changed things, since the writers were no longer beholden to having the future Superman be in these stories.

And their replacement for Supergirl in these stories, Andromeda, Laurel Gand, a probable descendent of Mon-El, was even better, with more personality than Supergirl has almost ever shown. She was tough, no-nonsense and a mom. She was great.

Yes! He's a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes.

And comes from a criminal background. Much more interesting than Superboy again.
