Afraid of Doctors: In Geoff Johns' Teen Titans, he and Beast Boy have a phobia of doctors, due to both of them being experimented on as kids.He takes out the former two easily, and all three are arguably superior to their modern versions (we take a moment to remind readers that, in Kingdom Come, the Flash essentially became the embodiment of the Speed Force).

Adaptational Badass: During Convergence, Superboy is placed against three heroes from the Kingdom Come universe: Red Robin, The Flash, and Superman.

There are a number of civilians who try to flee when they see him around though due to his Destructive Savior tendencies so at least early on others may feel being around him is bad luck. While he's followed by quite a bit of chaos Experiment 13 is actually the luckiest of the attempted Superman clones as 01 through 12 were failed cloning attempts. Conner finally made his return in Young Justice (2019), which revealed he had been marooned in the alternate reality Gemworld during Flashpoint and so had missed the Cosmic Retcon entirely. This became a plot point when a future Conner Kent was shown to exist in the "Titans Tomorrow" timeline (which originated pre- Flashpoint) but the present-day Red Robin didn't recognise the name "Conner", with the strong implication that everyone's memories of him had been erased. When Superman's pre- Flashpoint history was restored to the timeline in the aftermath of Superman Reborn, Conner was notable for his complete absence. Kon-El was substantially rebooted following the Cosmic Retcon Flashpoint, in history and personality, to the point where he was essentially an entirely different character. The lawsuit is not yet over, but DC felt they could use the name again, so Kon-El is back, and Superboy-Prime gets to be called that again. The effect of this lawsuit has been that DC refused to use the name "Superboy", so Kon-El died, Superboy-Prime was called "Superman-Prime", and the Legion of Super-Heroes cartoon stars a "young Superman" rather than Superboy.

In the late 2000s, DC Comics fought a legal battle with the surviving family of Superman's creators over the rights to Superboy, which due to a quirk of copyright law can be reclaimed by them (though a subsequent ruling has stated that DC can claim rights to the concept of Superboy, the teenage clone of Superman even if the Siegel/Shuster estates have rights to the Superman-as-a-boy version of Superboy). The most prominent one is Superboy-Prime, a formerly heroic alternate-Earth Superboy seen in Crisis on Infinite Earths who reappeared in modern continuity as an Evil Twin of Superman/Superboy.

Several alternate versions of Superboy were also seen over the years (including the aforementioned "Pocket Universe" version). He also had a brief stint as a regular member of the Legion while marooned in the 31st century. Soon after, Young Justice disbanded and he became a member of the Teen Titans. After his association with Cadmus ended in the aftermath of the Our Worlds at War event, he briefly relocated to Suicide Slum in Metropolis before finally going to live on the Kent farm. Eventually he ended up going back to work at the now-reformed Project Cadmus, and also became a founding member of Young Justice. During this period he had several encounters with the (rebooted) Legion of Super-Heroes and became a reserve member, and also briefly joined a team known as the Ravers.

When Superman returned to life, Superboy initially settled in Hawaii and became the state's resident superhero protector. This version eventually was befriended by Superman, who gave him an honorary Kryptonian name, "Kon-El" later, when staying with Ma and Pa Kent (who no longer were dead in Superman's adult years post-Crisis), he also adopted the human name "Conner Kent". Exactly who he is a clone of was retconned, but he is currently a combination of Superman and Lex Luthor. The character first appeared in The Adventures of Superman #500 (June, 1993), created by Karl Kesel and Tom Grummett. I've finally figured out that even though I'll never have a childhood or real parents, I can still be happy."Īfter the early 1990s' The Death of Superman storyline, a new version of Superboy came into existence-this one a teenage clone artificially created by Project Cadmus. That used to drive me crazy, but I'm kind of over it now. I'm just the byproduct of splicing Superman and Lex Luthor's D.N.A.
