Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!
Rules:
-
Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.
-
Single panels are preferred.
-
Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.
-
Don't be a dick.
-
I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

That is the original Superboy in OP's comic, i.e. Kal-El as a teenager.

I don't blame you, it's unbelievably stupid. But I was into it as a kid, so I keep up with the storylines without reading the comics. Once they decided to reboot everything I lost a lot of interest.
Anyway, if it's Superboy and it looks like it's from before the 90s, it is definitely Kal-El because before then, Superboy was just Superman when he lived in Smallville.
Yeah, I was also confused at first, but the header for the issue clarifies it:
