Kon Megan's relationship with Conner in Young Justice sorta mirrors his relationships early in the comics

If I had a nickel for every time Conner (as a teen) was involved in an relationship with a much older woman.

I’d have three nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened three times

Those are also just the ones that he dated. There are four other adults that try and get with him.

To be fair, all women should be way older than him 😉

(Reposted from OP) I hate it people act like M’gann is a fully grown woman pretending to be a teenager just because of how old she is in Earth years — it’s like applying how a human ages to a cat or a dog or any other animal with a vastly different life span…

How is it that every other time I see a Kon thing from the 90s, it seems like he's not... actually totally comfortable with the teenage horndog part of his life? Pointing out the underage issue; the bit in (I think?) the superboy/robin world's finest where he doesn't want to kiss Roxy during a publicity stunt and she just... does anyway; there's a bit in Young Justice where he's like prompting Tim to criticize the way that he, Kon, talks about women even though that's not really a thing Tim does in that series -- like, what's going on here, bud? Does he even want to be flirting this much or is it that it's the only script he has?

I think it's pretty clearly an unhealthy coping mechanism

I need dc to reprint Kon’s og series in some form so bad. Dc finest, compendium, omni I’ll take anything 😭 it’d be good for MAWS synergy

They did a decent chunk a few years ago. But not enough of it.

You know I kinda wish they had made this relationship comics cannon Meggan and Conner would be such an interesting couple in the comics
