Claim to Fame
For now, Superboy's virtually unknown, save for the few rumors of a young Superman in an odd, black and red outfit stopping the occasional gas station robbery or mugging all along the east coast.
Reputation
Most people who've actually met Superboy don't even realize what he is, but those lucky few who've been in the right place at the right time and were saved by the young kryptonian clone know him to be a 'smart-mouthed, hot-tempered, and generally reclusive, but pretty good guy.'
Biography
For years, superheroes and meta-humans have been putting a stop to the plans and evil deeds of supervillains the world over. Many individuals who would normally break the law for their personal gain are too afraid to act upon their desires, and those who do are stopped before they can truly accomplish their goals. To combat this threa, the shadow organization NOWHERE devised a plan to nurture and train a secret army of meta-human teenagers to help stem the tide of superheroics putting their livelyhood at risk. In the process of creating this army, the scientists of NOWHERE devised a plan to clone one of the world's strongest superheroes and turn him into a weapon. After extensive research, and the expenditure of a staggering amount of research, the scientists were able to successfully create a kryptonian clone by combining Superman's DNA (obtained from a blood splatter) with that of an unnamed human donor. They named the clone Connor and gave him the handle Superboy after rapidly aging him to the phyiscal maturity of a twenty-one year old.
Connor's powers developed along an unanticipated path as he spent a year in training, occasionally running covert operations that were specifically designed to test his abilities without revealing his presence to the world. Many of the scientists were pleased with the results, but the head of the project considered Superboy a failure. The idea was to perfectly recreate a Superman clone, and in his eyes, Connor just didn't measure up so he ordered the termination of Superboy. Unfortunately, they miscalculated, and Connor managed to escape. Without much real world experience, he ended up drifting from city to city until he eventually made his way to New York…

Character Details
Perhaps it's in his DNA, or perhaps it's a form of rebellion against the group that had tried to kill him, but even the less than stellar upbringing couldn't entirely destroy Connor's ability to tell right from wrong. Sure, he's prone to mood swings and outbursts, but he's still determined to undo every nefarious plan NOWHERE had in store for him. In fact, when he's not ticked off, he's actually pretty easy going, if a little bit snarky.
Half-kryptonian Physiology |
As a clone of Superman and an unknown human donor, Connor possesses Kryptonian DNA, and with it, the powers of a Kryptonian. Unfortunately for Connor, either the fact that he's only half kryptonian, or else because he's too young and hasn't absorbed enough solar radiation, has drastically limited the extent of his abilities. That said, if exposed to a yellow sun for long enough or in high doses, his powers could potentially strengthen. |
Tactile Telekinesis |
Superboy possesses a particular form of psionic power, dubbed Tactile Telekinesis by the scientists who created him. It primarily manifests as a field of telekinetic energy that surrounds him and enables him to mimic the powers of a full kryptonian. With practice and experience, Connor has also managed to use his Tactile Telekinesis to accomplish feats most Kryptonians are incapable of. For instance, he can expand the field to encompass anything or anyone he's in direct contact which then acts as a forcefield against harm. With a bit of effort, he can also use this forcefield-like ability to hold an object together or immobilize a person, though it gets more difficult the more pieces or limbs he's trying to hold in place, and the more energetic they are about continuing to move. He can also rapidly expand the field and generate kinetic force, duplicating the effects of a short-range telekinetic blast. It's much easier to simply expand the field from a single point, like his palm or arm, but in an emergency, he can generate a weaker, omni-directional blast. When focusing the attack to a point, it has roughly the same strength as his normal punches, but when doing an omni-directional blast, his max is roughly one third that of his regular strength. Finally, though his unique psionic ability is largely limited to the physical realm, it does provide him with a powerful shield against telepathic attacks. While not quite strong enough to fend off experienced telepaths, it does lend him a certain degree of protection from mental manipulation. Certainly more than that of the average person. |
Strength |
Relying solely on the strength of his half-Kryptonian heritage, Connor can lift and strike with the force of about ten tons. When utilizing his tactile telekinesis, his upper limit is about fifty tons. |
Invulnerability |
While his natural, Kryptonian durability hasn't quite matured yet, he's still capable of shrugging off large caliber rifles. Add in his tactile telekinesis, and he's able to withstand even a blast from a tank. |
Stamina |
Thanks to his Kryptonian physiology, Connor is able to survive in the vaccuum of space, go without food, drink, or rest for several days straight, and even when he does get injured and exhausted, he recovers and heals at about five times the rate of normal humans. |
Senses |
Just as with other Kryptonians exposed to yellow sun radiation for extended periods of time, Connor can see and hear over long distances, see through any object not composed of lead, and hear any frequency or tone. Unfortunately, just as with his other powers, his senses have not yet fully matured, so the distance is limited to about two or three miles, and he has to strain to pick up on frequencies that are far outside the range of normal human hearing. |
Speed |
Under his own power, Connor can run and move at speeds far exceeding even peak human levels. With his TK field factored in, however, he can just barely break the sound barrier. |
Jumping |
In time, Connor will likely be able to achieve sustained flight, but as of right now, he's only capable of leaping about a mile or two through a combination of utilizing his super strength, TK field, and his immature, natural ability to fly. |
Education |
Most people who've gone to school remember bits and pieces from throughout their educational careers. The important things, or the few interesting chunks of information that managed to stick. Connor's education, however, was fed directly into his advanced, kryptonian brain. As a result, he can perfectly recall everything the ideal high school graduate should know, if they didn't keep forgetting bits of their education. It's not a specialized education, so most of it's general information, lacking any finer details you'd pick up at a university, but it does come in handy. |
Suit |
When Connor escaped from N.O.W.H.E.R.E., he brought with him the only thing he actually possessed at the time: his suit. As a Kryptonian, he doesn't really need it to be extremely high-tech or armored in any way, so by most measurements, it seems like a normal uniform. However, in light of his particularly destructive talents, it was fashioned out of a polymer not entirely unlike unstable molecules, in that it is incredibly resistant to tearing, burning, staining, or really anything else that might destroy a suit. None of this protection is actually transferred to Connor, so he's just as vulnerable to tearing, burning, and the like if he were wearing a t-shirt, but it does mean he doesn't have to worry too much about constantly replacing or repairing his outfit. |
Kryptonite |
Though his powers have yet to fully mature, the infamous weakness to kryptonite still affects him just as strongly as any other kryptonian. Immediate exposure leaves him feeling weak and dizzy, and if he remains close enough to a source of kryptonite for any prolonged period of time, he'd be rendered roughly on par with a drunk human. |
Magic |
Just as with his older genetic donor, Connor's incredible invulnerability doesn't quite extend to magical attacks. While it's true, he can withstand more magical punishment than the average bystander, he's roughly one eigth as durable as he normally is. |
Energy |
While Connor's TK field can pretty accurately replicate the unnatural durability of your average, full-blooded kryptonian when it comes to normal attacks, it's not quite as effective against energy-based attacks. For some reason, the field just can't dissipate the damage as well as if it were a kinetic force, rather then energy-based. |
N.o.w.h.e.r.e. |
Superboy was grown in a test by some of the top scientists in a shadowy, nefarious organization known as N.O.W.H.E.R.E. in order to act as a powered up soldier in their growing army of meta-human teenagers. Naturally, they weren't too pleased that Connor escaped, and are committed to recapturing or terminating their little rogue project. |
Red Star Radiation |
As with kryptonite and magic, Connor shares his donor's weakness to red star radiation. Whenever he's exposed to a red star, or something that can suitably replicate its 'flavor' of radiation, he grows weaker and weaker until he's little more than a normal human in terms of power level. Luckily, unlike with kryptonite, he doesn't feel dizzy or sick, he simply depowers. |
Kryptonians |
Sure, some former residents of the planet Krypton might feel a level of kinship with Connor, but there's also quite a few who would view him as an abomination, or even worse, a /dangerous/ abomination. You see, Kryptonians are notoriously hard to clone and the failed results seem prone to insanity and paranoia — two things many recognize as highly dangerous when combined with the power of a Kryptonian. |
