History:
Superboy was created by scientists at Project Cadmus with what he believed was DNA from Project Director Paul Westfield. One of several clones that were created to replace Superman after his "death," Superboy was the only clone to survive. He was aided in escaping Cadmus by the Newsboy Legion.
The exact nature of Project: Superboy is still somewhat of a mystery, but what is known is that scientists were incapable of successfully cloning Superman. After several failed experiments, they grafted what they could of Superman's DNA onto human DNA and that process stabilized the extraterrestrial genes - thus Superboy was born, fifty percent Kryptonian and fifty percent human.
After some time in Metropolis, the Kid of Steel finally accepted the nom-de-guerre of Superboy. Seeking fame and fortune, he embarked on a world tour with his unscrupulous manager, Rex Leech and his daughter, Roxy. The tour only got as far as Hawaii, where Superboy decided to stay - partially because Hawaiian reporter Tana Moon caught his roving eye.
Impetuous and headstrong, Superboy quickly learned the ropes of being a super hero after being manipulated by Knockout, his female companion at the time. Superboy began to date Tana Moon, who had apprehensions about their relationship, despite an obvious mutual attraction. Just as his life seemed to be going well, Superboy's genetic structure began to literally melt down as a result of tampering by a group called the Agenda, which also created Match, a clone of Superboy. The only way to save Superboy was to speed up the cell degeneration and then rebuild it using a donor's template. The kid was saved thanks to the donation of genetic material from his friend, Roxy Leech, which stabilized his DNA. However, Superboy's aging process halted, leaving him at the physical age of 16.
Not long after this, Superman shared memories of Krypton with Superboy, who he came to regard as a member of his family, considering the genesis of the Teen of Steel. Superboy received his Kryptonian name, Kon-EI, from Superman at that time.
Following the reorganization of Cadmus under its new director, Mickey Cannon, and Colonel Adam Winterbourne, Superboy returned to Cadmus to become their special field agent. His assignments included tracking down escaped Cadmus monsters and heading Cadmus investigative teams. Superboy also served as a founding member of Young Justice, with Impulse and Robin.
Unknown to his teammates and friends, Superboy had been held captive by the sinister Agenda. In his place, the evil duplicate Match successfully duped Superboy's peers in Young Justice. Meanwhile, genetic think tank Project Cadmus was also systematically infiltrated by clones loyal to the Agenda. Though substantially weakened, the real Superboy freed himself and joined the battle to liberate Cadmus from Match and the Agenda's doppelgangers.
But young Kon-EI's victory was not without great losses. Mysteriously stricken, Superboy was temporarily aged to adulthood by Cadmus to spare his life. Furthermore, Kon-EI's reunion with long-lost paramour Tana Moon was cut tragically short by the Agenda's Amanda Spence, who murdered Tana to fulfill her own personal vendetta against Superboy.
When Superboy returned to his normal age, he learned that he was no longer frozen at the age of 16. This gave Superboy renewed hope that he could possibly one day grow to become Superman. Recovering from the tragedy of Tana's death, Superboy adopted a new costume and began to notice the affection of his Young Justice teammate, Wonder Girl. Later, Superboy was taken in by Superman's Earth parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent, under the guise of Conner Kent, cousin to Clark. Now enrolled in SmalIville High, Conner is attempting to live a more normal life, though he finds it incredibly boring.
A conglomerate known as Optitron offered to sponsor the Titans and Young Justice after summoning them to San Francisco. Before any decisions could be made, a mysterious cybernetic girl known as Indigo emerged from the future. Unwittingly, she somehow activated a rogue Superman android, resulting in the apparent deaths of Troia and Omen. At Troia's funeral, Nightwing disbanded the Titans.
Meanwhile, members of Young Justice, especially Wonder Girl, felt responsible for the tragic deaths. This led Wonder Girl, Robin, Impulse and Superboy to form a new group of Teen Titans under the guidance of the more experienced Cyborg, Starfire and Beast Boy.
Soon after joining the Teen Titans, Superboy received a mysterious e-mail detailing the truth behind his genesis. This documentation revealed that half of Superboy's DNA was from Superman, but the other half was that of criminal mastermind Lex Luthor. Superboy began to fear the effects of his Luthor genes.
Superboy makes the ultimate sacrifice
Those fears were realized when Luthor caused Superboy to go berserk by using a trigger word. After brutally attacking his teammates, Superboy was eventually freed from Luthor's control. But these events left Superboy shaken - which prompted the Teen of Steel to take a leave of absence from the Teen Titans. It was during this time that Wonder Girl and Superboy grew closer than ever before - and took their relationship to the next level.
Superboy from Earth-Prime and Alexander Luthor from Earth Three - survivors of the original Crisis on Infinite Earths - returned in a misguided plan to restore the multiverse and create a new "perfect earth." Superboy was summoned back into battle when the delusional Superboy-Prime attacked him.
Nightwing and Superboy later teamed up to ambush Alexander Luthor's cosmic tower, the source of of Luthor's twisted plan that created a multi-universal cataclysm. Locked in savage combat, Superboy and Superboy-Prime collided into Luthor's tower, creating a huge explosion. When the smoke cleared, the tower was destroyed, but Superboy was suffering critical wounds. As Wonder Girl rushed to his side, Superboy died in her arms, having sacrificed his own life to save the universe.
Powers and Abilities:
Because he is not an exact clone of Superman, Superboy's abilities differ. His primary power is a limited form of telekinesis that mimics super-strength and flight. He is also able to disassemble objects with a touch. As he's aged, Superboy has manifested a certain amount of non-psychically derived super-strength.
Superboy later developed heat vision, X-Ray vision and super-hearing, similar to his mentor's abilities.
