Conner Kent
Real Name: Conner Kent
Alias: Superboy, Boy of Steel, Kon-El, Project Kr, Experiment 13
Identity: Secret
Age: 11(biologically 16)
Species: Kryptonian/Human hybrid
Physical Appearance:
Conner is a young Caucasian male with a muscular body that stands at 5'9 ft and weighs 150 pounds. Despite the fact that only half of his DNA came from Superman, he was engineered to look like him with his appearance strongly resembling a young Clark Kent. He has short black hair, blue eyes and a strong chiseled jaw. In his civilian identity, Conner wears a pair of black glasses and typically wears a red flannel shirt, blue jeans and a pear of sneakers. As Superboy, Conner wears blue spandex that is tight enough to reveal his muscular figure. On his chest is a red pentagram with a red "S" in the middle and a yellow background. He wears a pair of red underwear over his spandex with it being held up by a yellow belt with an oval belt buckle. He also wears a pair of red boots and a cape on his shoulders.
Personality:
When Conner first escaped from Cadmus, he was a cocky, fun loving, easy going and immature attention seeker that loved the ladies. And like most teenagers, he was headstrong and impulsive. But despite these flaws, he was a good person at heart who was willing to lay his life on the line to protect people. After the death of Tana Moon, Conner matured a lot and was no longer the attention seeker he once was. He is still an easy going teen that likes to have fun, but he takes his duties as a superhero more seriously as he hopes to live up to the man that Superman once was. And while he is more level headed, he can still be impulsive and headstrong when he is emotionally compromised. Unfortunately, Conner's teenage hormones still have the tendency of getting the best of him as attractive members of the opposite sex can easily seduce him. Much like his primary counterpart, Conner fears becoming like one of his fathers. The only difference is the fact that Conner fears becoming a tyrant like Superman instead of becoming like Lex Luthor who is a good guy in the universe that he comes from.

-Invulnerability: Due to a combination of his dense molecular structure and bio-electrical acting as a force field, Conner is invulnerable to most forms of harm.

History:
As the clone was artificially aged in an incubation tube, he was educated through telepathic implants by telepathic creatures called G-Gnomes. The Gnomes themselves were one of many genetically engineered lifeforms made by Cadmus with the term Genomorphs being the general name for all of them. But before the clone mature enough for, a blackout occurred causing the clone to wake up before the backup generators kicked in. Having been empowered by solar radiation throughout his maturation process, the clone used his abilities to escape from the facility and into Metropolis. Calling himself Superman, the clone sought out to take the man of steel's mantel with his competition being Steel, the Eradicator and Cyborg Superman. Like Steel, he never claimed to be the original Superman and told people that he was his clone. The person who broke his story was a young reporter by the name of Tana Moon whom the young clone was very attracted to.As Superboy's reporter, she convinced the boy of steel to preform more heroic feats which in order to increase her own popularity as a news anchor. But much to his dismay, the boy was named Superboy by the press which irritated him. Through the use of an ultrasound frequency, Lex was able to get Superboy to come to him and explained to the boy that he owned Cadmus labs and that he wanted to help him become the best Superman he could be.
He offered to endorse the clone as Superman's true successor since an endorsement from Superman's best friend would add legitimacy to the claim. He would also handle his public image, provide resources when he needed it and advise him. Superboy accepted the offer unaware of the fact that a part of his DNA came from Lex. With Lex's help, Superboy became incredibly popular, especially among teenagers who loved the clone's confident and immature nature. Being rough around the edges as a hero, Superboy of course made mistakes with Lex Luthor using his resources to provide damage control when that happened. And much like a father, Lex scolded the young hero hoping that he won't make the same mistake again. Tara Moon still covered Superboy's heroic feats with the two becoming close as she pushed Superboy to become a better hero. When it was revealed that Cyborg Superman trying to turn the Earth into another Warworld, Superboy, Steel and the Eradicator attempted to stop him. And despite their best efforts, they were losing until a revived Superman showed up and defeated the evil cyborg. Superboy would then introduce himself to Superman as his clone which unnerved the kryptonian. Superboy was of course angry and disappointed by the fact that the man he viewed as a father rejected him and began to look for an excuse to get out of Metropolis.
When he learned that Tana Moon was moving to Hawaii to make her own fame, he found the perfect excuse and followed her there. With Lex Luthor's aid, he settled down in Hawaii and became the state's prominent superhero. And while Superboy was a big part of the reason why she moved, he became closer with Tana and began dating her despite the age difference. Eventually, Lex managed to get Superman and Superboy to meet in the same room where he explained to the two that Superboy was only half kryptonian with the other half being heavily modified human DNA to be as close to kryptonain as possible. A part of Superboy was relieved by the fact that he wasn't an exact clone as it meant that he could be his own person. When Superboy asked where his human DNA came from, Lex told the two that it was his own DNA commenting that a part of him always wanted to be Superman and that Superboy was the closest thing he would ever get to that. Lex also told Superboy that he didn't expect him to think of him as a father, but was willing to be there for him when he needed it. He would then get Superboy and Superman to reconcile with Superman accepting Superboy as family, but he would view the clone as a brother as he ready to be a father. Superman also gave Superboy the kryptonian name, Kon-El which made the clone tear up as he finally had a name.
Superboy would continue to be Hawaii's protector finding it odd that he wasn't aging only to learn from Lex that he wouldn't age as a result of the cloning process. This put strain on his relationship with Tana and the two would sometimes break things off when things got too heated. But the two would always end up back together. But things took a turn for the worst when the feral Superman clone known as Match escaped and made it's way to Hawaii destroying everything in it's path. Thinking that Match was Superboy, Tana Moon attempted to reason with clone only to be incinerated by his heat vision as Superboy hurried towards her to get her away. With anger and sadness fueling his actions, Superboy fought the clone and would have killed him if it wasn't for the fact that Superman did not take lives. With the death of Tana weighing heavily on him, Superman figured that Superboy could use some normalcy in his life and had him live with his parents back at Smallville under the name of Conner Kent. There Conner went to school like any other normal teenager with the Kents coming to love them like a second son. After some much needed time away, Conner went back to being Superboy and joined the Teen Titans in San Francisco.
There Conner met a fellow superhero by the name of Cassandra Sandsmark who's superhero alter ego was Wonder Girl. As the two worked together, the two gradually became close and became a couple. Everything seemed to be going well for Conner until he, Beastboy and Kid Flash took a trip to Metrpolis to get some meatball subs to bring back to Titans Towers. As the three raced to the sub shop, a nuke was detonated killing Kid Flash instantly as he had no time to react. Superboy attended to shield Beastboy's body with his own, but it was not enough to protect him and he died in his arms. After returning to Titans Towers to deliver the news, he learned that the Joker was responsible for the nuclear explosion and that Superman killed him. Conner was upset by the fact that the hero he wanted to be crossed the line by killing the Joker. He would then confront Superman at the Fortress of Solitude who was grieving the lost of his city, his wife and his unborn baby at the hands of the Joker. Having experienced grief before, Conner asked Superman why he did it and how could he wear the "S" on his chest now?
After Superman announced the world wide ceasefire at the funeral, Conner had a talk with the Kents with the two telling him that it wasn't in his place to judge Clark. But Conner said he couldn't forgive him and went to the Fortress of Solitude in an attempt to get the Phantom Zone Projector to trap Superman. The Titans followed him in case he did something stupid from his grief and as he searched for it, Superman arrived saying that he already took it as a precaution. Conner and the Titans battled Superman with Robin finding the Phantom Zone Projector only to discover that he couldn't lift it. Superman would then punch Conner so hard that his rib pierced his chest and was beginning to die from internal bleeding. Superman said that he could save Conner by sending him into the Phantom Zone, but would do so on the condition that all of the Titans went with him. The Titans agreed and they were sent into the Phantom Zone.
6 years later, Batman came to the Fortess of Solitude upon learning that the Titans were in the Phantom Zone. The cape crusader needed super powered being on his side to stop Ra's al Ghul from culling humanity to save the planet. One of the first Titans he released was Tim Drake, one of his Robins and as they had a heartfelt reunion he was killed by a blast of heat vision from General Zod who managed to escape the Phantom Zone through the opening that was created. Batman and the others fought the general which caught the attention of Ra's Al Ghul and sent Amazo in as he saw Zod as a threat to the planet. The android made it's way to the fight and killed Zod by tearing his head off before heading to Delhi to wipe out it's population. Since Superboy needed a heart transplant, he was given Zod's heart and as he learned about the situation in Dehli as he recovered. While he still wasn't at 100% yet, he felt that he needed to go but was stopped by the Kents who were living in the Fortress of Solitude in case someone tried to kidnap them again. The two would give Conner the suit Clark wore as Superboy saying that the world needed hope again and that the "S" needed to represent that once again. Conner would fly towards the fight in Dehli only to be suddenly transported into this world.
Weaknesses:
-Kryptonite: Conner's body is negatively affected from the radiation emitted by radioactive rocks from the planet Krypton. Green kryptonite puts him through a great deal of pain and weakens him, red releases all of his inhibitions and gold removes his powers temporarily. But with enough exposure to gold kryptonite, it could permanently remove his powers.
-Lead: Conner can't see through lead.
-Magic: Conner's body is vulnerable to magic though it should be noted that his body is somewhat resistant to it. So something like a magical fireball won't cause the same amount of damage as it would to an ordinary human.
-Red Solar Radiation: Conner's body can't absorb red solar radiation causing his powers to wane when exposed to it. When fired in a heavily concentrated burst, he can become powerless.
-High-Pitched Noises: Because of his super hearing, Conner is sensitive to high pitched sonic attacks.
-Telepathic Attacks: Conner's mind has no defense against telepathic attacks.
-Opposite Sex: While Conner has matured a lot over the years, his hormones can still get the best of him when being seduced by an attractive member of the opposite sex.
-Fear: Superboy fears becoming a dictator like the man he was created to replace.
Other Information:
-It should be noted that Conner's kryptonian abilities are still developing
-Conner's power set is based off the version from the Smallville Universe.
-Conner's body is stuck at the age of 16 because of the cloning process.
