Superboy (Conner Kent)

Background

A clone of Superman and Lex Luther, made after Superman's death. He briefly served as Superman before moving to Hawaii. While his powers were originally solely derived from his TTK, he currently has some kryptonian powers as well.

Powers & Abilities

• Cloned Kryptonian Physiology: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Superboy possesses the potential of powers an average Kryptonian. Though his Kryptonian abilities haven't perfectly developed, probably due to his young age. These include:
  • Solar Radiation Absorption: Under optimal conditions, this is the main source of Superboy's powers as they are contingent upon exposure to solar radiation from a yellow sun star system. His Kryptonian body is constantly absorbing and storing energy from Earth's yellow sun, which in turn grants him incredible powers.
  • Superhuman Strength: Superboy displayed strength enough to bench press a couple tons, he is strong enough to lift a semi-truck car over his head while flying, He also has showcased enough physical might to lift the city of Kandor into space without his psychic powers. His upper limit has fluctuated over time however.
  • Superhuman Speed: Superboy is able to move at incredible speed by sheer force of will. This extends to his perceptions and allows for feats such as catching bullets in mid flight as well as covering vast distances in little or no time. He was able to travel for more than three miles and back so fast that people didn't even noticed he left. While not as fast as Impulse and other Flashes on the ground, Superboy can still fly at speeds faster than speed of sound and keep up with his speed.
    • Superhuman Agility: Superboy is significantly faster and more agile than a normal human being, and can easily dodge bullets and avoid physical combat strikes.
    • Superhuman Reflexes:
    • Molecular Acceleration:
  • Superhuman Durability: Even without his tactile telekinesis field, Superboy is tough enough to resist the touch of lava.
  • Enhanced Vision: Superboy's vision processes the entire electromagnetic spectrum as well as allowing vast control over selective perception and focus.
    • X-Ray Vision: Superboy possesses the ability to see through solid objects.
    • Telescopic Vision: Superboy can see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics. Though limited, the exact extent of the ability is undetermined. In function, it is similar to the zoom lens on a camera.
    • Microscopic Vision: This is the ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the atomic level.
    • Infrared Vision: Superboy can see with better acuity in darkness, and to a degree in total darkness.
  • Heat Vision: Superboy can, as a conscious act, fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it. He can vary the heat and area affected.
  • Superhuman Hearing: Superboy hearing is sensitive enough to hear any sound at any volume or pitch. With skill and concentration, he can block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source or frequency.
  • Super-Breath: Superboy is able to create hurricane force winds by exhaling air from his lungs.
  • Superhuman Stamina: Superboy can exert himself at peak capacity for several days.
  • Flight: Superboy can fly without using his tactile telekinesis. He was able to fly incredibly fast from Smallville to the middle of a desert.
  • Self-Sustenance: Superboy can live and speak in the vacuum of space just fine even though he had difficulties breathing in space when he was in it for the first time.
  • Accelerated Healing: Superboy has the ability to heal himself (from the wounds or diseases of others or themselves).
  • Longevity: Superboy can live longer than regular humans, remaining at his prime as long as he was under the exposure of the "yellow" sun.
• Telekinesis: Superboy has full telekinetic powers; he's used it to levitate, manipulate and repel objects and people, create force fields, disassemble people and things and shoot telekinetic blasts.
  • Tactile Telekinesis: Superboy's body is completely surrounded by an invisible field of telekinetic energy, protecting him from harm and enhancing his physical abilities. This can also be used to manipulate objects that are on the same surface as the user (such as the ground) or to fly by pushing his own body through the air (this usually requires effort though).
    • Simulated Invulnerability: Superboy uses his telekinetic ability to create an invisible force field around his own body.
    • Simulated Superhuman Strength: Superboy uses a telekinetic field to lift heavy objects. Superboy's strength is so great with his telekinesis he easily defeated Martian Manhunter in a few blows.
    • Telekinetic Senses: Conner can similarly expand and extend his sensory output beyond the limited range of his immediate surroundings. Sharpening both his touch to feeling everything around him, from picking up the subtle vibrations on the air or in the ground in order to simulate a sonar tracking effect. To amplifying his audible/decibel range of happenstances well out of listening range.
    • Telekinetic Hyper-Acceleration: Kon-El can focus his telekiesis inward to accelerate his molecular motion in order to move at ultrahigh velocities.
    • Telekinetic Force-Field: By creating a field around his body Conner was able to resist or reduce injury from non-energy based attacks by causing the object to be deflected from his personal force field. Bullets and shrapnel were easily deflected. This field did not repel gases or energy based attacks as well, though his skill in deflecting energy attacks improved.
    • Telekinetic Force Blasts: Superboy also learned that he could shoot energy blasts from his hands from Knockout. The blasts he can shoot are more powerful than supermans heat vision.
    • Telekinetic Super Hearing: Superboy's TK allows him to hear sounds from far away and through glass.
  • Simulated Heat Vision: By vibrating molecules within his line of sight, Superboy can set things ablaze through the application of extreme heat.
  • Telekinetic Blasts: Superboy is able to project bursts of raw energy bolts of concussive force. He mostly projected the energy from his hands, but his TK field permeated from his entire body. The blasts he emitted had concussive force equivalent to 5,000 pounds of TNT.
  • Flight: Superboy uses his telekinetic ability to emulate the practice of flying.
• Telepathy: Superboy possesses telepathic powers, enabling him to sense, broadcast and detect the thought patterns of sentient beings. He also seemingly has a very potent telepathic resistance, that enables him to defend against psychic manipulators.
• Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced): Conner was trained by Guardian during his time at Cadmus. Not to mention being trained by Project Cadmus, during his time being powerless. While in the future with the Legion of Super-Heroes. Connor spent his time training with the Karate Kid. Conner was also trained by the Teen Titans. Conner has successful defeated 100 warrior slaves without the use of his powers. Kon-el even managed to stalemate Orion (Servants of Darkness). Who had all of his warrior skills similar to the original Orion, but was more savage.
• Genius Level Intellect: Superboy has shown to possess superior intellect to what humans could ever have. His mind works with incredible speeds, and combined with his tactile telekinesis, it might be one of his greatest assets.
• Multilingualism: Due to his unique psionic powers, Superboy can learn new languages by simply touching a person. He is shown to know and speak English and Kryptonian perfectly.
• Farming:

Weaknesses

• Kryptonian Physiology: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Superboy possesses the same potential weaknesses as an average Kryptonian. These include:
  • Vulnerability to Kryptonite:
  • Vulnerability to Magic:
• Vulnerability to Red Sun Radiation: The damage from the Red Sun seems to be less effective on him than the full Kryptonians.
• Yellow Sun Processing: Because Superboy absorbed less solar energy than Superman as an adult, Superboy was unable to process as much yellow sun energy as Superman could; as a result, overexerting his powers could spell his death, as his body would literally begin to feed on itself, unable to absorb solar energy fast enough to restore itself.
• Arrogance: Conner has always had always had a bit of a hubris when it came to himself, due to half his DNA coming from Lex Luthor. This issue had got him into disquiet situations multiple times during the early parts of his superhero career. Conner has learned to be more humble and embrace humility more often, due to the death of his first girlfriend Tana Moon, nearly losing Guardian and almost killing the Teen Titans thanks to Lex Luthor. But Conner's ego still has resurfaced a few times, that has inconvenience him in stressful situations. Which has allowed someone like General Zod to get the better of him in combat.
• Power Limitation: Thirteen Gen-Actives appear to be able to resist Superboy's telekinesis.
• Power Instability: Due to his genealogy, Conner Kent could lose his powers at any moment. This genetic defect seems to have been corrected thanks to Blackfire's medical technology.
• Solar Energy Dependency:
