Superboy + Knockout = ???

I was just wondering if there was anybody out there that had read the old Superboy series from the 90's. There was a female villain named Knockout that crossed paths with Superboy several times, and developed a strange fixation on him. After it was revealed that she was a former member of the Female Furies, and Superboy helped her fight them off, she became his unofficial partner. They became very close and I can remember it being implied that the relationship between the two of them had become ALOT more than just crime fighting partners, even though Knockout was definitely older than Superboy. Anyway, it turns out she was just using him to her advantage and Superboy ultimately breaks away from her influence and she winds up in prison.

Fast forward a few years and we find Knockout with the Secret Six in a romantic relationship with Scandal Savage. There was no implications here, they were definitely together romantically. Now, my question is were Superboy and Knockout a romantic item or was she just teasing him in order to gain his compliance? I was kind of under the impression that Knockout was into guys and was very surprised to find her then with Scandal. I was just wondering if anyone could clear up exactly what her relationship with Superboy entailed.

  1. Hey, I guess I'll answer my own question. Knockout is definately bi-sexual, since she was shown sleping with Deadshot in the Secret Six mini.

    That still doesn't answer the question about if she and Superboy were ever together intimately, but it does explain her personanl sexual preferences.
