Summary
The news that Timothy Drake, Gotham’s cryptid millionaire, has shot the Joker dead during a public live-stream hits the world like a freight train—and that is just the opening salvo of his bugfuck plan.
Maybe there exists, in the multiverse, a configuration of Jason Todd who will weather this with decorum, dignity and self-respect. This version of Jason Todd decides that the life of an academic is not, really, all that rewarding.

Frankenstein made his monster using the parts of stolen corpses. Lex Luthor made his with the stolen blood of Superman. Superboy, despite being very new to existence, isn’t sure that’s any better, even if Superman rescued him only a few weeks after his creation.
Except Kon’s rescue wasn’t a coincidence, and neither were the other spontaneous events changing the lives of superheroes all over the world. Kon might care more about growing up than the fate of the world, but fate will latch itself onto him whether he likes it or not.
