Does Krypto have more Influence on Superboy if he's a "handsome collie"?

You can only have Influence. You can't have more influence that simply having it. It's a binary on/off thing. Or, put another way, all dogs are good dogs.
"I can't increase my Influence on him. So instead I will bump up my master's Superior because he will think himself so much more wonderful for having a handsome collie for his pet, and drop his Freak because everyone loves people who have handsome collies for pets."

@Bill - FYI, the secret behind the issue your third link points at.

Oooh, that's going to mark a few Conditions.
Clearly, sooner or later, we need to clash with another group of teen heroes. It's a Law of Thermodynamics or something.

Everyone you're fighting is roughly the same age as you, so far. :)
True. But my thought was around the teen hero group. Which begs the question, is there a teen hero group already in Halcyon (or in some other major metropolis), that would serve as a model to emulate (or to avoid emulating). Aside from the Six for Science, because they're a bunch of Eurotrash assholes, as we all know..

Yeah, there are is the Junior HHL and the Justice Kids of America. &nbsp;Both very big names that end up getting young superheroes, once they outgrow the teams, funneled into the various superhero teams, depending on how well you did. &nbsp;Which leads to some tough competition in there, as no one wants to get stuck in the "Legion of Losers" as one group is fondly called.
Minor league farm teams. I love it.

Other teen groups (and some adults) refer to the JHHL as the Jills. It is not intended to be a compliment.

Aside from the Six for Science, because they're a bunch of Eurotrash assholes, as we all know.. If you want a rivalry with another teen hero group, the seeds have been planted in the Social Media Reactions thread. Some other team thinks the Quill Foundation is trying to make Jason's new team look awesome, and paid Iconoclast and Troll to take a dive on live television. Then we'd look good, they'd look bad, and we can't have that now can we? <a href="https://youtu.be/IkXAWPrSsEg?t=3m53s" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/IkXAWPrSsEg?t=3m53s</a> Another possible reading from the hints dropped is that Tasha's program staged Iconoclast appearing, but that leads us more into adults-are-selfish territory. Equally applicable to teen heroes, just a different story. :)

It's a celebration of all things Batman, serious and goofy. Well worth it.
Rule #1: DON'T SPLIT UP THE TEAM!
Echoes B:TBatB praise. &nbsp;I say that as a guy who tends to take his super-hero fiction very seriously -- but one of the joys of the show is that it takes that 50s-60s Batman goofiness both seriously and with love, so that you laugh with it, not at it.

Brave and the Bold was a HARD sell for me when we first started watching it. I was coming off Young Justice as my introduction to DC animation, then Justice League and JL:Unlimited. Like I said, it was... jarring.&nbsp; But damned if it wasn't good. We rewatch that stuff as much any of the shows, except YJ.
At least Jason doesn't have this problem. Yet. (He's waded around in too many swamps to be comfortable wearing cargo shorts.)
