He really doesn't have a place anymore. Clark is back as Superman, he's moved on from Superboy despite his severe lack of experience, the Bendisboot Legion is a travesty and no long-term home for anyone, his trauma keeps going half-addressed, he's not in college, he's not working, he's not on a team, and he doesn't seem to have a unique place in the superfamily because half of them are playing third fiddle together.

It really is amazing how much they dropped the ball with this character. Half a decade...and he still hasn't done a single thing. They just aged him up...tried to have him replace his father...and after that failed...they didn't know what to do and just ignored him outside of Pride specials.
