After we pulled the last example for being awful, someone added a new image despite a note saying not to unless there's an IP thread. Well, unlike the pulled example at least "Archnemesis" is demonstrated here... but "Dad" seems even less demonstrated.

Superboy and Les Luthor aren't listed under Comic Book examples. Even if they were, they're very... well, they don't look like a father and a son. Superboy looks too old, Lex too young, and if I weren't familiar with the work (and guess what, I'm not!) I'd think Superboy was Superman's son (or Superman as a kid).

At the very, very least someone needs to put in an entry for them.

Possible suggestion: [1]

Anyone had a word with Continent about it? As for the image suggestion, it's real busy at that size and I wonder how it'd shrink down.

I was thinking something along these lines.

... It's always the obvious solutions you miss, isn't it?

That's [tup]

^^ I do like that one. [tup]

And I've wiki-blocked Continent to bring him in for a chat about ignoring/removing commented out notes.

The suggestion is better than the current.

I like 3 as well, though I have no clue who that is :/

That's what makes it a great page image. I didn't know who it was, and it still worked to illustrate the trope.

So can we go with 3?

Sorry that I changed the image, I didn't know how to start a discussion like this, and I didn't want to bother anyone. I thought it was a great picture, and in a way, Lex is Superboy's dad, but yeah, the new pic fits better.

Alright, we've got enough consensus to run with 3; it's up, potholed, and tagged. The example needs to be added to the page, and a caption explaining the relationship would help.

I'd add an example, but I have no idea if it's a "surprise twist" or not.

The Series.Young Justice version is, and the comics version of Aqualad is based on him but I don't know for sure about whether or not it's a twist or not.

As for a caption, how about "You think your Thanksgiving's awkward? Try having your father be the Arch-Nemesis of the guy you're sidekicking for."

Old image:

Let's just say Superboy and Lex Luthor are on bad terms.

I'm going to go ahead and add the suggested caption but not tag the page to keep it in case someone comes up with something better. Locking up.
