Superboy-Prime

Background

Real Name: Kal-El (Birth Name) / Clark Kent (Legal Name)

Powers & Abilities

• Kryptonian Physiology: Superboy's cellular structure was more dense, resilient and biologically more effective than human tissue. Strangely enough, he did not seem to possess superhuman strength levels despite his enhanced cellular ability without constant exposure to yellow solar energy. Without such charging, his strength was on par with humans. As an alien, he possessed several organs whose functions were not understood, but believed to be part of the source of his biomatrix force field and reclamation aura. Superboy's body also stored energy actively within his bio-cellular matrix as an energy pattern that was linked to his body's electromagnetic field. This energy powered most of Prime's electromagnetic capabilities such as flight and heat vision. It also supplemented his physical strength many times over.
  • Energy Absorption: Superboy-Prime could absorb yellow sun energy to give himself superhuman powers. This power differed from that of other Kryptonians. Prime's absorption was far more efficient, giving him much greater power, but he burned through it at a proportionately faster rate. Superboy's body was also not limited to processing only solar energy, as he was able to absorb the green light of willpower with similar effects. Though he may be able to absorb other energy types, only yellow sunlight and willpower energy have been confirmed to boost his power.
  • Superhuman Strength: Superboy's strength is augmented by yellow solar radiation interacting with the greater than human density, resilience and biological efficiency of his musculature. Fully charged, Superboy had repeatedly shown himself to be able to move entire planets out of their orbits at will and had defeated many of the most powerful beings in the Multiverse. He was even strong enough to fight on par with the Darkest Knight, dealing significant damage to him.
    • Dimensional Travel: Superboy has transported himself back to Earth-Prime multiple times, as a side effect of using his strength to shatter reality.
    • Reality Alteration: Superboy has displayed on multiple occasions the power to alter reality through sheer strength.
    • Shock Wave Projection: Superboy is strong enough to create powerful sonic booms with just the clap of his hands. He can even do this through his voice, to generate sonic screams.
  • Superhuman Stamina: Superboy had the ability to maintain continuous strenuous physical action for an undefined period. His enhanced nourishment was produced from the solar energy his cells processed, however, his base physical structure still needed to process food stuffs as well as has the psychological need to eat and drink just as Earth humans did, despite the fact that his superhuman powers where mainly solar reliant.
  • Superhuman Speed: Superboy was able to move at incredible speed by sheer force of will. This extended to his perceptions and allowed him to catch bullets and cover vast distances in little time. While not nearly as fast as Impulse, he was able to exceed light speed and break the time barrier.^{[citation needed]} Superboy was also fast enough to easily speed blitz the entire Shazam Family, aside from Billy Batson. His flight speed combined with his strength allowed him to plow through a 300 mile thick wall construct created by the entire Green Lantern corps. Superboy stated that if he flew through Oa at light-speed, he would create a new Big Bang, restarting the universe.
    • Vortex Creations: Superboy can use his speed to manipulate airflow for various purposes. On one occasion he used his flight speed to create a large vortex around Shazam and Black Adam.
  • Superhuman Agility: Superboy's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to superhuman levels. This allows him to easily make sharp turns and easily maneuver while flying and moving at superhuman speed.
  • Superhuman Reflexes: Superboy possesses reflexes far greater than any normal human being. This allows him to easily react to danger and events, and perceive the world in slow motion.
  • Superhuman Senses: All of Superboy's senses are enhanced to immense superhuman levels, allowing him to perceive the world in far greater detail than the senses the average human possesses.
    • Super-Hearing: Superboy's hearing was sensitive enough to hear sounds from almost any distance. He could even hear sound through the vacuum of space.
    • Enhanced Vision: Prime's vision processed the entire electromagnetic spectrum as well as allowing vast control over selective perception and focus. Including:
      • Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision: Prime could see and identify radio and television signals as well as all other broadcast or transmitted frequencies, which allowed him to dodge radar signals to avoid detection. This also allowed him to see the auras generated by living things.
      • Telescopic Vision: Superboy could see objects from at least several hundred miles away. This ability operated independently of his normal vision and could be used at will.
      • X-Ray Vision: Prime could see through various objects at will. He could not see through objects like lead that repel X-rays.
      • Microscopic Vision: The ability to see extremely small objects and images down to an atomic level.
      • Infrared Vision: Prime could perceive infrared rays, letting him see in darkness and detect heat signatures as if he had night-vision goggles. He could even use this power in total darkness, but it was less effective.
  • Accelerated Healing: Like all Kryptonians, Superboy possessed healing powers that enabled him to heal from severe injuries. When he was beaten by a horde of superheroes on Earth, he recovered instantaneously from his wounds upon coming in contact with yellow sunlight.
  • Flight: Superboy was capable of independent flight at speeds faster than light. He traveled light-years in the blink of an eye and flown throughout the universe. He could travel through time by using speed alone.
    • Interstellar Travel: Superboy is immune to the nature of space and is not inhibited by its lack of gravity. He can travel the reaches of space where no human body could possibly survive without the aid of technology or protection.
  • Invulnerability: Superboy was extremely durable under a yellow sun. He had blocked attacks from most heroes, flown through a red star while it was draining his powers without injury, fought two Supermen at once, and even survived attacks from the Anti-Monitor with only moderate injuries.
    • Kryptonite Immunity: Earth-Prime's Krypton was swallowed up by its sun so there was no known Kryptonite that could affect Prime. Prime, as well as Superman of Earth-Two, was immune to the Kryptonite of the New Earth. There were no known variants of Kryptonite that could effect Prime. An artificial variant was created by Element Lad which did have an effect on Prime.
    • Magic Resistance: Unlike most Kryptonians, Superboy was mostly unaffected by magic. He claimed a blast from Black Adam only "tickled" him. The same happened when he was attacked by Mordru. However, Despite his resistance to magic, he can still be hurt by more powerful and focused magic attacks.
    • Power Mimicry Immunity: Prime possessed an ability to nullify the effects of others trying to duplicate his powers. This was shown when fighting Amazo replying, "trying to copy my powers.....wrong!!!!"
  • Super-Breath: Superboy could generate a concentrated gust of wind from his mouth capable of freezing matter within a limited range. He froze several Green Lanterns to death in the vacuum of space, and even froze Red Star after he had powered up.
  • Heat Vision: Prime could generate beams of intensified heat from both of his eyes. His heat vision was strong enough to melt through titanium and even more durable metals. His heat vision also generated a concussive force which was strong enough to kill even a shielded Green Lantern with ease.
• Magic Empowerment: When Superboy was accidentally imbued with magical energy by Shazam on Prime Earth, he used this new power through his punches, to negate the magical transformations of the Shazam Family. Each of his punches allowed him to instantly transform the Shazam family back to their regular forms.
• Escapology: Superboy was able to find a way out of the Speed Force.
• Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced):
• Intimidation:
• Mechanical Engineering: Superboy was able to design his Solar Armor, which collects yellow sunlight and feeds it to him.

Equipment

• Solar Armor: Super-charging armor that kept his power levels at their maximum even inside of non-yellow sun solar systems. While imprisoned by the Flashes on an alternate Earth, Superboy-Prime built a power suit modeled after the Anti-Monitor's, which collected and fed him yellow solar energy, to maintain his power levels even when exposed to a red sun. Although he claimed to have made it himself, Bart Allen remembered him stealing it following his escape. It was destroyed when the two Supermen flew Superboy-Prime through Krypton's red sun. After his escape from Oa, Superboy-Prime was given a new power suit built by the Sinestro Corps. The suit was destroyed by various heroes during the Sinestro Corps' invasion of Earth.

Weaknesses

• Solar Energy Dependency: Superboy's powers all result from his ability to store, process and convert compatible energy sources in his body. His primary and most accessible energy source is yellow solar energy. In order to function at peak capacity using solar energy, Superboy must remain within the accessible area of such yellow solar radiation or his powers fade to greatly reduced levels; some disappearing entirely if his solar reserves are empty. Red solar energy also can drains his powers.
• Lead: Superboy's vision was ineffective against lead or lead-based material.
• Obsession: Superboy was utterly single-minded in his pursuit of creating what he believed to be the "Perfect Earth". As such, his judgment was severely impaired when it came to dealing with others in achieving this goal. His mania and arrested emotional maturity level led to countless deaths across the Multiverse; both intentional, and from his rampaging carelessness. He had an inability to take responsibility for his actions, although this was also reflected in the ease with which he showed fear when faced with something he could not overcome, such as the consequences of him killing a Guardian, obliterating Earth-51, attacking the Time Trapper and possibly killing the only person he loved from Earth-Prime, Laurie. In addition to his obsession of re-creating Earth-Prime, he had many phobias including; achluophobia (afraid of the dark), athazagoraphobia (fear of being forgotten), cleithrophobia (fear of being trapped), all while displaying a grandiose delusion of success once able to temporarily overcome a specific phobia. In addition he displayed signs of self-inflicted harm to himself by unintentionally scarring his chest with an "S" while in the company of mini red Sun-Eater that had prevented the wound from healing properly which has resulted in the scar permanently remaining on his chest. His stupidity lead to his own defeat when he attempted to kill his future self, the Time Trapper.
