Quite apart from the fact that making Kon a half-clone of Kal is itself a
recent retcon of a long established fact (that Kon was originally NOT a
clone of Kal but of Westfield, manufactured to mimic Kryptonian traits),
even if Kon is a clone of Superman, that would not make him the legitimate
"Last Son of Krypton".  Kon would be behaving in a misleading and less than
honest manner if he accepts the adulation of the 30th century folks as the
"Last Son of Krypton" without much protest.  I simply do not see Kon
behaving in this manner.  Coupled with the fact that some Legionnaires
(those who were stuck in the 20th century for a while) have met both Kon and
Kal, I simply do not understand why Cosmic Boy would be so disappointed in
Kon when he knows Kon is NOT Kal.
