After visiting Lex Luthor's childhood home in Smallville, Superman arrives and talks to Conner about his desire to understand his "other father. Conner remarks that the next time he sees Lex Luthor will be, "too soon. In his attempt to confront his shared legacy, he goes on a date with Wonder Girl. Conflicted between opening his heart to his girlfriend thus "Telling the truth" as Superman always did in his life , and deliberately lying to avoid touching delicate subjects with Cassie thus "Lying" as Luthor would do , ultimately Conner chooses to share with Cassie his fears and desires, and his desire to find himself by exploring both his legacies, but only to find his real self.
Cassie is touched, and despite her initial doubts, mostly out of fear that in his desire to be more like the Man of Steel eventually Conner could discard her as Clark Kent did with Lana Lang, feels compelled to admit her brief bond with Tim Drake. Conner quickly forgives her, arguing that, since he was dead and Cassie had no means to know about his future resurrection, her liaison with Robin can't be considered an affair.
Kryptyo almost cost Conner's secret identity by delivering him the unconscious Scavenger and King Shark. Later he tried to use Krypto to sniff out Lex's location but to no avail.
So he then decided to ask Tim's help. Red Robin was in Paris at the time searching for clues to locate Bruce. Meanwhile the recently escaped Luthor learned of Superboy's comeback and decided to "get his property back" and headed to Smallville. On his way back from France, Conner encounters a girl named Lori, whom he and Kyrpto earlier saved, in the middle of vandalising a local Doctor's clinic.
He takes her home only to learn that she is Lex's niece when he shows up in her house, incapacitating him with Kryptonite. Conner challenges Luthor to cure his sister Lena, Lori's mother.
Luthor agrees, but demands his help, threatening Lori's life. Conner collects the ingredients needed and a cure was made that restored Lena to full health. Unfortunately, Lex then undoes his cure, vowing that it will stay with him until Superman is dead.
In a rage, Conner attacks Luthor, but is staved off by Brainiac and escapes. Conner realizes that there is no good in Luthor after all and decides to not be like Luthor or Clark but pursues his own path in life, burning his checklist in a fire. Clutching his fist, Conner begins to blame himself for not being there for Jonathan but Ma consoles him and advises Conner that Jonathan would have wanted him and Clark to stand up straight. However, Conner manages to come to his senses when Kal-L is on the verge of ripping out Superman's heart.
Using his tactile telekinesis for the first time since his resurrection, Conner pushes Kal-L away from Superman. Conner then goes after Psycho-Pirate, stealing the medusa mask and using its emotional powers to attract the black rings, causing them to leave their hosts, reducing them to lifeless corpses once more. Conner is turned into a Black Lantern after Nekron sends black power rings after resurrected heroes.
Conner is shown fighting the black ring's control as it forced him to attack his girlfriend, Cassie.
After help from Krypto and Cassie, Conner is able to remove the ring in the Fortress of Solitude by tricking it into going after his dead body in the regeneration chamber. After using his freeze breath, for the first time, Conner threw the ring into space and headed back to Coast City. There, he manages to rejoin the fight with Sinestro taking control of the Entity , having the power of life.
After a long struggle, the White Light managed to create to rings which then to all the Nekron's agents, making them live again with the power of the White Light. After the Blackest night series ended, Superboy and Kid Flash are called back to the Teen Titans in order to help them do battle with Holocaust in Dakota.
On the T-Jet Superboy is trying to get his relationship back with Wonder Girl but she is avoiding him. After Raven is kidnapped, Superboy attempts to rekindle his romance with Cassie to no avail. He is shown to begin to have a connection with fellow Titan Aquagirl. Superboy will also be teaming up with the help of Batman's son Damian as the new Robin helping the Teen Titans find a League of Shadows hunter before it is too late.
After hiding out on the Kent Farm for some time, Conner received an unexpected visit from his chemistry teacher, who turns out to be Element Lad, who is there to recruit Superboy for the fight for New Krypton against Brainiac's invasion with the other Legion agents in the past along with Mon-El. With the war against humans and Kryptonians in an all-out scale, Superboy helped expose and stop General Lane's plans to wipe out the Kryptonians.
He and Krypto then backed Superman up in his final showdown with Zod and his remaining soldiers. The series begins with Superboy still staying in Smallville, finally making peace with himself knowing that he is partly Lex Luthor's clone. Then the Phantom Stranger warned him of a new evil coming. Conner's life got more complicated as he tried to live a normal life with the townspeople.
He defeats Parasite and Poison Iv y after huge mutant plants attacked the town. Then two mysterious men are seen talking to each other stating that all is going as planned. Lori discovers Conner's secret as Psionic Lad arrives from a dystopian future. He traveled back in time to be tutored by Superboy on how to be a better hero but in truth his real plan was to kill him.
Around this time Cassie had broken up with Conner. Superboy then organized the very first "Superboy and Kid Flash" race in order to raise money to help the people of Smallville that were affected by Parasite's and the mutant plant attacks.
In the end, Krypto won. Superboy was then attacked by Doomsday. Superboy fought hard but was beaten into submission and was taken as a prisoner. After the Reign of Doomsday arc, Superboy went to investigate a downed ship on Earth's orbit only to fall prey to the Red Mercy's hallucinogenic thrall. After escaping its clutches, Superboy realized that the ship carrying the Red Mercy was also loaded with caches of intergalactic weapons and was headed to Smallville. Superboy finally learns the origins of the Hollow Men.
The Phantom Stranger then informs him of three things when the evil he had warned him about comes. Lori has been taken and Superboy along with Simon, Psionic Lad and the Stanger traverse the broken silo to rescue her only to discover a village underneath Smallville itself. He is created by a project called N. E , an organization attempting to control the new generation of metahumans. His first mission involves killing Wonder Girl, or Cassandra Sandsmark , but instead incurs the wrath of the entire Teen Titans.
Superboy fights them and defeats them all, but not before he is convinced N. Superboy takes revenge on N. Superboy is now part of the Teen Titans and after the events that happened at N. E and meeting the Legion of Superheros that helped the Teen Titans. Superboy left N. Superboy has now a new costume like the old version he wore a black shirt and a jacket and glasses.
He still has his powers. Superboy will meet Superman his cousin for the first time in the war with Kryptonian. Supergirl his other cousin has met him back in a battle and fought and the Superman Family will be together for the first time in the war battle series crossover.
Superboy and the Teen Titans are now living on a private boat on the water to take care of crime and stop stuff from happening in the city in Los Angeles. Superboy told the Titans when he came back after helping his unknown cousins Superman and Supergirl fight the Heli. Superboy told the Teen Titans that he sold his apartment and that he wanted to be near his best friends and help them out to save the world. Superboy will find out where his DNA is from the last part of it soon.
After all the events with the Teen Titans and Dr. Psycho powers helping him. Conner Kent went to high school for the first time and was a new student and got beaten up and pushed to the ground by a bully and he took his powers and attacked a student and his pants fell off with Conner Kent's superpowers. The students at the school were upset at him about what he did and all of a sudden a girl showed him around the school and Conner Kent interrupted a class and was sent to the principal office and Dean's office of his behavior at school and life.
Conner Kent went back into the classroom and after school, the girl showed him what was happening to all the students outside of class and they turned into monsters and attacked Superboy and Krypto was there too and was also infected by the virus. Superboy fought his way in this battle for his life and new friends at the school and his dog Krypto to save. Superboy saved all the school students and fought off one of the girls that was doing all this to all the students.
Superboy saw Krypto well and better and he fought his way into the school and fought off all the monsters and he saw a version of him and it was him fighting himself in a hologram of a glass minor and one of the girls he told that he need her cellphone to find out what was happening and it was Dr. Psycho boss and that he has to now fight him off in a battle on school grounds or not.
Psycho-Pirate , took Superboy and himself into Dr. Psycho 's mind and showed him Dr. Psycho's origin and his true motivation as to why he was Superboy. Superboy was then manipulated into going into a rage by Psycho-Pirate to fight Dr.
Psycho surprised Superboy with his power. Psycho then revealed that he has every psionic power cataloged by H. E but was too weak to use them but due to the time he spent around him, he now had enough power from Superboy to do so. However, during his fight with Superboy, Psycho-Pirate removed Dr. Psycho's memories of Superboy's origins, which unfocused him giving Superboy the opportunity to defeat him. However, in doing so he lost all of his telekinesis powers.
After being pulled along with the Teen Titans in the time current by Johnny Quick of the Crime Syndicate , Superboy encountered Jon Kent the actual son of Lois Lane and Clark Kent after a furious battle, Superboy was transported through a portal where he found himself, Superman and Supergirl in a new Krypton built by H'el.
This Krypton was destroying the continuous-time of the universe. Superboy was directed in a mission by Faora to successfully send the rocket of Supergirl to earth.
However doing this exerted all of his energy and he wasn't able to escape. His corpse then vanished in a cloud of kryptonite. It was revealed that Kon is still alive, and now he works for the Oracle , patrolling past, present and future. Later he was brought back accidentally by Jon Lane Kent when he traveled in time and landed to the present day. After the demise of Jon, he returned as a Superboy.
His unique physiology provides him both physical powers and also powerful psionic powers. It's mentioned that given time, his body and mind will be without limit and that he's only as powerful as his force of will at any given moment suggesting that his potential might be limitless. In the New 52 Superboy is a full telekinetic. He does also have some weak Kryptonian abilities like strength and durability, but he is able to use his TK to mimic more of them and reinforce the rest.
His telekinesis is highly advanced and he has been able to amazing feats with it among other things:. Superboy's most common form of using his telekinesis is called tactile telekinesis. By using his TK he has shown to be able to use his mental abilities to supplement his physical ones. The full extent of his telepathy isn't known, but he does seemingly own some kind of psychic defense and is able to see memories.
He was also able to wipe Kara's memories of him. Even without using his TK Superboy still possess some weak level Kryptonian abilities which will probably later advance due to his young age. Superboy has said his powers don't come from the yellow sun. At first Superboy only possessed a form of telekinesis called tactile telekinesis what manifested as an invisible telekinetic force-field that surrounded his body. It was able to copy some of the Kryptonian abilities and also give him some unique ones:.
As Conner's physiology matures, his Kryptonian abilities began to manifest themselves thus gaining most of Kal-El's powers. Now under the Earth's yellow Sun Superboy possesses:. The cloning process that created Superboy was done in such detail that he was a living solar battery like Superman, although he is not able to process solar energy as fast as a normal Kryptonian.
He is susceptible to Kryptonite radiation as well. The original idea for Superboy was to present the stories of Superman as a youth in his hometown of Smallville. The first appearance of Superboy was in More Fun Comics While growing up in Smallville, Clark Kent had his super-humanoid powers as a baby See Superbaby and learned to control his abilities as a young boy.
Clark convinced his foster mother, Martha Kent, to design a uniform for him and Clark began a super-hero career in his youth under the name Superboy. Lana usually suspected Clark of being Superboy while Pete knew the truth when he saw Clark change into Superboy but never told Clark about it.
Superboy also had a pet dog he named Krypto , the Superdog who originally came from Krypton that resulted in Krypto having super-powers identical to his owner. The adventures of Superboy centered around his hometown of Smallville and frequent visits to the 30th Century as a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Superboy was involved in temporal adventures that teamed him up with other heroes from his future such as Batman and even his future self, Superman See The Brave and The Bold , DC Comics Presents 14 , Superman vol 1 , , and Superboy After the death of his parents and upon graduating high school, Clark Kent moved to Metropolis and attended Metropolis University.
He continued being Superboy while going to college and later became Superman upon graduation. Superboy's college years were published as an extra added feature called Superman: The In-Between Years in Superman's other books See Superman vol 1 , , , and Superman: The Secret Years was a mini-series that continued this same storyline.
Alexander Luthor opened a portal to another dimension that seemed to be a paradise that the four of them entered as their new home. Superboy-Prime, along with the other three, returned in Infinite Crisis to challenge the heroes of the post Crisis Earth. Superboy-Prime later became known as Superman-Prime.
In this version of Superman, he never started his career in his youth. The Time Trapper had altered the timeline to create a pocket dimension that contained the Superboy of an alternate Earth. Apparently, the Time Trapper diverted any travel by the Legion to Superman's early years to the Earth in this pocket dimension. Thus, the Legion invited the Superboy from this pocket dimension to be a Legionnaire. The Time Trapper created Superboy as part of a trap to destroy the Legion.
Superboy died to save his Earth from destruction and to save the Legion from the Time Trapper. It starred Johnny Rockwell as Superboy. The series, however, was not picked up for regular broadcast. The second attempt at a Superboy series ran for more than three seasons in the s and s. Newton was replaced in subsequent seasons by Gerard Christopher. In the third season, the show's title was changed from Superboy to The Adventures of Superboy.
The series ended during the fourth season when Warner Brothers sued to reclaim rights to the character. Conner Kent was introduced in the tenth and final season of Smallville.
He started out as a clone of Lex , called Alex by Tess, who raised him in order to make "Lex" a better person, but Alex had Lex's original memories of Clark and Tess and saw them as enemies, leading him to plot to kill the newly return Lionel Luthor , as well as Martha Kent.
He was about to kill Clark and Tess until he was talked out of it. Seeing how dangerous Alex is, Tess attempted to kill him with a cyanide-injection, only to find that needle broke on Alex's skin. Shortly after that, Alex experiences a 'reboot' where he loses his memories from Lex and his time around, and becomes "Conner" from CNR on his medical files , showing that he has Clark's DNA as well as Lex's.
Conner was also shown having similar powers to Clark since he has his DNA. He also has a weakness for being exposed to green and red kryptonite. The Earth-2 Lionel forced Connor to wear the red kryptonite ring that unleashes his Lex side. The green kryptonite was used against Connor when Lionel tries to take him away from Clark. Connor used his heat vision to blow up the green kryptonite that is affecting Clark while Lionel ran away.
Later, Connor decides to become a superhero and start a new life in Smallville as he's going to attend Smallville High. Conner is played by Lucas Grabeel.
Superboy appears in the new Young Justice animated series, voiced by Nolan North and is described as 'the breakout character' of the show, and will later take on the civilian identity 'Conner Kent'. His origin story portrays him as a sixteen-week-old clone of Superman grown by Cadmus Labs with the ultimate goal of replacing Superman or defeating him should he turn rogue.
Freed by Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad , Superboy has a rocky introduction with Superman and joins together with his new friends to form a covert operations team under the direct command of Batman, later joined by Miss Martian. Superboy aspires to be like Superman and tries on at least two occasions to establish some kind of relationship with him, but Superman's shock and possible disgust about having a clone causes him to rebuff Superboy on both occasions, causing a great deal of frustration and rejection for Superboy.
So far, Superboy has demonstrated the powers of super-strength, invulnerability, super hearing and the ability to see in the infrared spectrum but does not yet possess heat vision or flight, forcing him to leap large distances or rely on other means of transport. His uniform closely resembles his current Teen Titans uniform with a black t-shirt with a red S-shield, blue jeans and combat boots, and due to a current lack of a civilian identity he continues to wear his Superboy t-shirt even when off-duty.
Also he has recently started dating fellow young justice member Miss Martian. Conner and Wally were trapped in molten metal, up to their faces in water. When Red Tornado returned from monitor duty on the Watchtower, he examined the androids.
The Team was knocked out and by the time they were woken up by the Justice League, the Reds were already gone. The League carried out repairs to the Cave, and upgraded its security. Superboy listened in on a conversation between Aqualad and Batman about a possible mole in the Team.
Conner became furious, as did everyone else when he told them. Batman stopped them from arguing, and assigned Captain Marvel as their first rotating supervisor.
Tracking Red Tornado would be a League responsibility, so he assigned the Team to investigate animal attacks in India.
The Team was still angry at Aqualad, and separated before he could organize them. They are soon attacked by a number of wild, mutated animals. Superboy had to fight off a pack of wolves. He engaged the leader of the pack, a large white wolf, in single combat. Superboy managed to remove the pack's inhibitor collars, and headed for the Brain 's laboratory with the pack's wolf. The Brain escaped, and Superboy decided to keep the wolf—which he named "Wolf"—as a pet.
Batman assigned the Team to go after the Injustice League while they dealt with their mutated plants. Count Vertigo brought it down forcing the Team to abandon it in the swamp. Superboy fought against Ultra-Humanite , before the Justice League came in and forced the villains to surrender.
The Team was having a private psychic conversation discussing Red Tornado. Zatanna noticed that they were speaking telepathically and Superboy took the opportunity to demand information about what the League knew about Red Tornado—which was nothing. The Team decided to go looking for him themselves, and they took Zatanna with them. Morrow's base. Zatanna used her magic to force him to blurt out the address.
The Team headed for Teton County. They were met by Red Tornado, who tried to warn the Team of his younger brother Red Volcano but the latter caught on immediately. Red Volcano had all of Tornado's memories and was able to trounce the Team.
The other Reds arrived on the scene and defeated Volcano at the cost of their "lives", though Superboy managed to save Red Tornado from melting in lava. The Team took part in a psychic training exercise meant to simulate an unwinnable attack on Earth. However Miss Martian's telepathic powers caused things to spiral out of control after Artemis "died". Superboy himself "died" later when he allowed the Team to enter the mothership.
Because of Miss Martian's hold over her teammates, Superboy slipped into a coma rather than waking up. Martian Manhunter ended the simulation by "killing" Miss Martian. Once the simulation was over Superboy was the first to defend Miss Martian from the statement that she was the cause of the failure of the simulation. Still reeling from the training exercise that had nearly killed him and the others, Superboy walked out on his psychology session with Black Canary and went joyriding with Wolf and Sphere, with Sphere transforming into a motorcycle-like vehicle.
Over the eastern seaboard, the trio ran into the Forever People who accused Superboy of kidnapping Sphere from New Genesis. Sphere cleared up the misunderstanding and they decided to work together to find the rest of their stolen technology. Mother Box tracked it to Metropolis where it was being used by Intergang to break into the Metropolis Federal Reserve.
Sphere took back control of Infinity-Man and allowed it to be piloted by Superboy. After Desaad damaged Sphere and forced her back to Apokolips the Forever People used their Mother Box to begin repairing her and intended to bring her back to New Genesis to finish the repairs.
Superboy however stated that he and Sphere bonded and that she should stay on earth with him. There, he admitted that he felt at peace inside the simulation, as he finally knew what it was like to be Superman, and that he was now feeling guilty about it. Miss Martian, rather intimately, helped Superboy into his mummy costume for their Halloween dance at Happy Harbor High. At the dance, Conner noticed that Marvin was playing a prank on the others by creating the impression of a Martian invasion.
With the help of Wally and Megan they made it look like the town was being invaded by Martians to get Marvin to confess to the prank. In light of Klarion's spell splitting the world in two, one containing only adults, and the other containing children, Superboy and his teammates were left to quell the ensuing chaos. Superboy rescued a child from an abandoned vehicle. He later saved a few more and brought them to an emergency shelter in Happy Harbor High School.
After that, a plan was formed to merge the two worlds back together. The Team attempted a surprise attack on Klarion while he was casting his spell. Shortly into the battle, Klarion morphed Teekl into a larger and feral creature. Superboy took it on and was subdued by the familiar until Klarion was defeated and called for it to escape. Superboy joined the others in celebrating Wally's birthday. The celebration would be short as Batman called the Team for a mission to destroy a number of Ice Fortresses that were causing extreme winter weather.
In response to the suspicious alliance between Rumaan Harjavti and Queen Bee , Batman assigned the Team a mission to find out what was causing this unusual alliance. After they made it to the border of Qurac, they noticed a stampede caused by Bialyan tanks entering the border.
With a cautionary approval from Robin, Superboy diverted the stampede away from Marie Logan and Garfield Logan while the rest of the Team dealt with the army.
After they exchanged pleasantries, they decided to head to the clinic for the wounded oryx while Miss Martian helped Marie Logan. At the sanctuary, Garfield wanted to show the boys an episode of Hello, Megan! Before they could watch it, Superboy heard planes approaching the sanctuary. Outside, Superboy leaped to one of the drones and destroyed it.
Garfield, however, was injured by an earlier attack. They were surprised by the similarities between Miss Martian and the star and the fact that her love interest shared his name with Conner. After Miss Martian returned from the clinic, the channel was changed to the news, which showed Harjavti speaking well about Queen Bee.
They quickly discovered they were not in the distant future, but only a few months had passed since Superboy's disappearance. The islands had been created by a precursor to Project Cadmus known as the "Project Moreau" created in the '40s.
Back in Hawaii, Superboy learned that most of his friends were gone and decided there was nothing really left for him. Superboy rejoined Cadmus and began working as a field agent with Dubbilex and Guardian, after leaving Krypto with his friend Hillary Chang.
For their first assignment, they traveled to Paris and battled Agenda once again, specifically Director Alpha. They also encounter Grokk the Living Gargoyle and a supermodel named Hex. Winterbourne, and one of the new ace scientists, Serling Roquette. Superboy was at first happy to be back at the Project, but was distraught when Mickey fired the original Newsboy Legion and their clones. Superboy became a founding member of the team Young Justice along with Robin and Impulse.
Despite having some persistent troubles, Superboy, Robin, and Impulse became best friends during this time. Superboy was attracted to Dr. Roquette who was one of the few females at Cadmus, and the only one close to his own age, but she was oblivious at first, harbouring a crush for Guardian.
Superboy respond when someone stole the Whiz Wagon and entered the Demolition Run, a lethal cross country race involving all manner of high-tech vehicles. The thief turned out to be Roxy, who was desperate for money to help her father. Superboy realised the man running the race, Mr. Big, fixed the event so Fastbak would win.
Rather than letting Mr. Big walk away with millions, he convinced Fastbak to ask for all profits Big might have made off the deal. Big honours the deal, but promises Superboy he won't forget. Superman invited Superboy to the Fortress of Solitude where Superboy was able to see Krypton via virtual reality, and after Superman explaining how he considered Superboy part of his family, the Man of Steel offered him the Kryptonian name, Kon-El.
Superboy tearfully accepted, overjoyed with the simple dignity of having a real name. From Kon-El he adapted "Conner" to use in society. He retreated back to the Kent farm for longer period of time. Superboy-Prime reappeared on Earth who incited a fight with Kon-El. This inspired Superman to adopt the young clone into his family, giving him the Kryptonian name Kon-El.
Superman allowed Kon-El his privacy and did not push to turn the young hero into his sidekick or ward, as Kon-El found his own way and built a place for himself among other young heroes, forming the team Young Justice. Kon-El would not become Conner Kent until several years later, after Young Justice broke up and he was taken in by Clark Kent's adoptive parents, posing as a distant cousin on Pa Kent's side of the family. At Superman's urging, Conner joined a new group of Teen Titans , whom he hoped might get Conner out of the funk he had found himself in.
It was around this time that two big things happened that forever changed Conner's life beyond his finally finding the family he had wanted for so long; Conner inexplicably began to manifest the powers of a full-blooded Kryptonian and he discovered that the human DNA used to create him had come from Lex Luthor.
This led to a crisis of faith for Conner, who wondered if he truly had a soul being a clone or if he was predisposed toward evil because the greater part of his genetics came from Superman's greatest enemy. This led Conner to seek out Luthor to help him learn how to control his newfound powers. Naturally, Luthor took advantage of Conner's desperation to try and turn Superboy into a weapon of his own design. In the end, Conner's better angels won out and he went on to die a hero's death during the Infinite Crisis event.
Since then, Conner has undergone a series of revamps and resurrections , as the DC Comics multiverse has been reshuffled through the New 52 and DC Rebirth revivals. Currently, Conner can be seen in his classic costume in the new Young Justice comic series written by Brian Michael Bendis.
When Conner was first introduced in Reign of the Superman , his powers were said to be based around a singular ability; tactile telekinesis. Simply put, Conner had a psychic force-field around his body, which allowed him to passively replicate most of Superman's powers. A heart-to-heart with Superman helped ease the pain a little.
Despite what Superman had to say, Superboy was still troubled by thoughts of never growing up. Nightmares plagued him, even as he has to deal with Mo-O [69] and a married couple who pursued thrills by trying to get their picture taken with superheroes. Things began to break down upon returning to Hawaii. The Legion of Super-Heroes turned up once more, this time angry that Superboy had given away his flight ring to Roxy.
Superboy managed to work things out with them as they fought Silver Sword together. Despite trying to prove how responsible he was by recovering the Spear of Lono, Tana ended their relationship. Superboy decided to travel again to clear his head. He stopped by Jersey City and ended up asking Natasha Irons on a date. Nat had fun, but told him she's not interested in a relationship because she could tell he was still very much in love with Tana. With Kyle Rayner's help, Superboy finally brought down Silver Sword who had been serving a being known as, Pele , who he believed to be a Hawaiian goddess.
But during the conflict against Pele, she threatened innocent bystanders, and Silver Sword realized she was no benevolent goddess. He turned on her which led to his death. Pele was defeated, but Superboy was feeling anything but heroic. More than ever he felt isolated. Superboy awoke with amnesia in the Wild Lands , an island of anthropomorphic animal-men. Superboy quickly regained his memory, but feared he was somehow in the distant future.
They quickly discovered they were not in the distant future, but only a few months had passed since Superboy's disappearance. The islands had been created by a precursor to Project Cadmus known as the " Project Moreau " created in the '40s. Back in Hawaii, Superboy learned that most of his friends were gone and decided there was nothing really left for him. Young Justice. Superboy rejoined Cadmus and began working as a field agent with Dubbilex and Guardian, after leaving Krypto with his friend Hillary Chang.

Superboy tearfully accepted, overjoyed with the simple dignity of having a real name.
From Kon-El he adapted "Conner" to use in society. Superboy was one of the first to explore Hypertime , after a Superboy from an alternate reality arrived at the Watchtower , dying shortly thereafter from injuries. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman all explained their recent experiences with hypertime and ask Superboy to volunteer for an experiment. Black Zero had become a cruel tyrant in his world before setting out to conquer other worlds he had found via hypertime.
Kon-El led the other alternate versions in an uprising that defeated Black Zero before he returned to his own timeline. Superboy harboured resentment that his closest "relative" had never confided his public identity.
Superboy was ordered to revisit the Wild Lands, escorted by a number of personnel from Cadmus. They landed in Roam and were greeted warmly by King Tuftan and coldly by his new bride, Nosferata. Winterbourne requested to be taken to the area where he was captured, so Tuftan led the way to the Glowing Swamp. There they found Ratsputin there — as well as King Shark. Superboy battles Etrigan. They arrived back at Cadmus to find Guardian attacking the staff, believing them to be Nazis.
The delusion was driven by a magical gauntlet that had been unearthed. The Demon arrived, drawn by the eldritch aura of Hyssa's Fist. Etrigan explained the dark artifact drew upon the wearers deepest desires, regrets and inner demons to project the wearer's true colours. Superboy managed to subdue the possessed Guardian, but was suspicious about handing the sinister power over to a bona fide demon.
Etrigan desired the mystic item for a spell, inciting Superboy to protect the glove by wearing it himself. He neutralizes Etrigan with his enhanced strength which was met with applause from Dabney Donovan. In a moment of clarity, Superboy noticed he was wearing an outfit similar to Black Zero's. Horrified, Superboy used his tactile telekinesis to destroyed the glove on his hand, causing a huge explosion and cave-in. Etrigan saves Donovan while Guardian recovers Superboy who decides to return to Hawaii to tie up some loose ends.
Superboy flying high with Superman. Superboy decided to drop by Smallville to visit the Kents coincidentally at the same time as Clark Kent. Superboy hinted at Clark's secret which was subtly reciprocated, yet Clark was reluctant to voice it completely, not out of distrust, but because he was afraid that eventually Superman and Clark Kent may no longer be distinguishable. Superboy arrived in Hawaii with Roquette to discover that he was no longer well thought of among the locals now that a new hero, Kana, had risen.
Kana, however, cited Superboy as being his inspiration. After one last visit to the Compound, Superboy accepted nothing would ever be like it once was and decides to take Krypto with him back to Cadmus.
Still frustrated that had not confronted Superman about his dual identity, Superboy headed to Metropolis where he met with Lois Lane. At Locomotive Park they encountered the Man of Steel battling a four-armed monster, which was put down by the two heroes.
Superman tells him that of all the people who wear the S-shield, Kon-El is the one he feels closest to. Superboy was still unable to speak his mind, but after Superman's departure he alluded to his suspicions, to which Lois responded by saying that everyone, even Superman, needs a little privacy. Superboy rallies his forces to take on the Agenda.
Upon arriving back at Cadmus, Superboy was quickly knocked out by the Agenda, using Simyan and Mokkari to create an army of clones. Superboy rallies the forces of Cadmus, along with Grokk, Hex and even Krypto, in a desperate struggle to win back the facility. All they could do, however, was temporarily retreat, as the Gene-Gnome could not only can read their minds, but also coordinate the clone armies.
