I have just found out about this character and he sounded cool but it turns out he is dead. We all know that a Comic Book deaths rarely permanent so will DC ever bring him back? What should they do with him if they did? am I right in thinking he has come back from the dead before?
Powerboy
Character » Powerboy appears in 31 issues.
A member of the Teen Titans during the year after the Infinite Crisis. He has some ties to Apokolips. He was also Supergirl's boyfriend for a while, but... that didn't end so well.
Will He Be Back?
" I hope not. He was a dick. "What she said. A great Supergirl boyfriend my ass. Another person might take his mantle however.

aw that sucks, I thought he would have been cool but he is clearly some kind of douch. does any one know of any other non superboy teenage superman like characters?
Hey its not Power Boy's folt. They had an unexplained argument and battle. Kara (who was secretly kryptonite poisoned & being manipulated by Dark Angel) ended their relationship. Besides why pick on Power Boy for alot of super heroes done lot of bad things. Like Hank pym beating his wife Janet, Batman having a affere with Orion's wife Bekka. Oh and Jesse Quick also having a affere with her mom's fiance, not to mention Hal Jordan killing the Green Lantern Corps under the control of Parallax.
Alright here is some more heroes doing bad things besides Hank Pym, Batman, Hal Jordan and Jesse Quick. Sentry, Mimic (Both), Wonder Man, Nor-Varr, Wolverine, Mr Fantastic (Ultimate), Hawkeye, Hecules (DC). Well you get the idea so give Power Boy a Brake.
He was one of the best written characters to arrive after Infinite Crisis. He was incredibly complicated -- a total egomaniac (that costume alone), abusive, but yet he had a charming side that was strong enough to win over (or at least confuse) Kara. I was bummed when they killed him off as I'm always a fan when DC faults their heroes to give them dimension -- something that happens way more in the Marvel writing rooms, IMO. A writer who likes complex and multifaceted characters would be smart to bring him back.
