Not the inane rhyming thread either.

In high school I had an unrequited sapphic crush on a classmate whose first name was Daisy, although she preferred to go by her middle name, Alejandra.

I don't think I've read a lot of the three lot more than once. Was he more of a jerk than previous versions?

Oh, we cover that alot in the Threeboot reread thread... Yeah he was literally the worst version of that character. Maybe ANY character.

He absolutely was, highlights include telling Saturn Girl she was "hot for a fat chick", racing to punch Cos at super speed after Cos calls him a jerkwit, getting together with Imra and making Garth really mad, punching Cham when Cham shapeshifts as Jo to apologize... and generally being an arrogant fratboy

He also starts losing his mojo and powers when Supergirl shows up, and Supergirl has to feign weakness so Jo gets back to normal and Jo gloats about it...

a lot of this doesn't sound THAT bad, but he could totally have knocked Cos' head off when using his powers... and I prefer my heroes to be, eh, more respectable. have dealt with enough awful fratboys in my life, I don't want to read about them being on my favorite super team tongue

All of that does sound that bad. You'd think they would have just ultra-punted him from the team. But in the world of comics where emotionally stunted psychos are considered to be cool, the writers probably thought he was great.

Exactly right.

I think where Waid was going here was "teenagers are emotional even without super powers. Let's see how they are when you add powers to the mix." I think the point with Jo was that he already had an attitude, superpowers that can do anything would amp that to 11, and to your point thoth, they wanted a "bad boy" on the team cause that was the style at the time. And all the characters were like that to a degree. The only thing that worked was the plotting and storytelling.

It was horrible to read then, and it still is 20 years later.

yup, there were few if any redeeming qualities to that version of Jo

The parallels with school bullies breaks down a bit when your class mate from Saturn can make him walk out into traffic or that exchange student can teleport him into the nearest mine.
