I know I'm not Superman but that doesn't mean I'm not going to try.

You shouldn't try to be me, boy. Just yourself.

[handmedowngenes]

But I was created to be you. If something happens to you...I'm suppose to be able to take your place.

[alienfromkansas]

And you will be able to, of that I'm sure. One day.

But not by being me. You cannot save people or protect them if you are focused on being me. You must learn to do things your way, do you understand?

[handmedowngenes]

[Shakes his head.] Why not? You save so many people. If I focus on being like you, I'd be able to do the same.

[alienfromkansas]

I make mistakes as well. Mistakes I would not wish on you.

I am not perfect, Superboy.

[handmedowngenes]

[Is quiet for a long moment and he looks uncomfortable.]

Do you think you could ever do something to hurt a lot of people?

[alienfromkansas]

Not consciously. Ever.

Why do you ask?

[handmedowngenes]

I keep on having these images appear in my mind. Cadmus implanted them into my head. I see myself fighting you and knocking you into the ground because you're trying to hurt people or at least that's what it feels like.

[alienfromkansas]

Cadmus...

[He sighs] Cadmus was always afraid of me. Of the whole league, of course- but the fact that I had been brainwashed before makes them wary. They probably implanted those images inside of you to make sure you were ready.
