But he hasn't hit that point yet, so then it comes down to two options:

Dude faced down Superboy-Prime and saved the world. More than that, he faced his own fears of being evil and not-good-enough and got back on the horse and did what he had to do. Even more than that, recently in the comics, he was the ONLY person that got saddled with a black ring that got rid of it through ingenuity and sheer force of will. Even Diana needed the help of a violet ring.

And supers are all about hope. No matter how bad it gets, they try to inspire it and they try to believe it. Kon's a fighter, and part of being a fighter is being an idealist even when the going gets rough and even when he's being a snarky pragmatist sometimes. Can't keep a good clone down.

He thinks he's gonna be Superman someday. As corny as all the stuff Kal spouts about hope and justice and the good in people is, Kon believes.

So one or the other. Will or hope. That's what the supers are all about.
