Superboy Comic Series Gets Dragon Ball-Inspired Fight
As stated earlier, DC Comics has managed to hype up the fans by showing off what they can pull off in recent times. The fight between Conner Kent and Cyber Superboy, who was Travv instead, a member of the rebel cell, has shown readers what the writers are capable of depicting in their comics.
Reading the issue, many would realize how the writers have attempted to keep the fight short and brief despite the big build-up that led to the fight. It featured both of the characters using their ultimate powers to their extreme, creating something that looked like a clash between the iconic Goku’s Kamehameha and Vegeta’s Gallick Gun.
The face-off ends with our hero overpowering the blast and pushing it back toward the Cyborg Superboy, knocking him out and giving the Green Lantern Corps just enough time to arrive and take care of the situation.

More Similarities Between Superboy And Dragon Ball
While the last issue showcasing the final fight was a blatant inspiration from the Dragon Ball series, there are more hints as to how Superboy might be inspired more by the iconic anime and manga series by Akira Toriyama.
To begin with, our main protagonist manages to fight from sheer determination, adding to which it is easy to observe how he can win majorly because of the motivation he gets from his family and friends, something which is a principal theme of not only Dragon Ball but nearly every shōnen style anime.
DC Comics might have just struck on a goldmine as its inspiration from Dragon Ball in their recent comic series has managed to get a lot of positive feedback, and one can expect the writers might try again to repeat the same in the future.
