Identities

Public Identity
Very little is known about Superboy to the public. The only things known is that he is named Connor Kent and he likes loud motorcycles.

Secret Identity
Project Kr. a project and experiment created by Cadmus from Kryptonian DNA and that of a human for the purpose of using him as a weapon covertly, but to what Connor knows is to 'replace Superwoman (or Superman) should they perish, or kill them should they turn from the path of good.' Superboy's general existence is completely unknown to the general population, though rumor mills have been spotted depicting a young boy with a red version of the emblem that Superwoman wears on her chest doing some small superheroics.

Background: An Overview

On March 21, 2017, the secret organization known as Cadmus initiated Project Kr. It was based on the belief and idea that they could clone and make their own kryptonians to use as weapons….though because of the incomplete DNA sequences, many previous projects of similar intent failed, but in order to make a truly perfect weapon, Cadmus decided to fuse the DNA of a Kryptonian and mix it with the DNA of a human donor, thus was the creation of Superboy established inside a test tube. The Kryptonian DNA used for Superboy belongs to Superwoman, while the human DNA is unknown. He was kept in a containment pod awaiting testing and activation whilst surrounded by small creations of Cadmus called G-gnomes, telepathic creatures, who telepathically controlled him and educated him with the knowledge of a boy of his physiological age.

Though he would not remain there for long as he was soon discovered by Superwoman, who happened to be investigating another Kryptonian clone named Divine, and upon awakening him, Connor was violent, but eventually calmed enough to make the choice for freedom. and with her help, they both escaped Cadmus.

Upon standing outside for the first time and making acquaintance with Superwoman, who promtly named him Kon-El, for he had no name aside from 'the weapon', the Superboy now heads out into the world to discover who he wants to be. THough since his containment suit has that S-shield on it and he likes helping people, he's a strong lean towards hero.

Background: The Details

Canon Differences & Notes

Powers

Cloned Kryptonian Physiology
Kon-El is a male clone of Superwoman and possesses some of the traits of a Kryptonian, but the potential for all of them, which grants him a large assortment of powers so long as he is charged by a yellow sun.

Super Strength
Kon-El is incredibly…almost immeasurably strong. Even though he may have a general idea of how much he can lift, in truth, not even he knows his absolute limit. he is able to carry airplanes, punch through steel and titanium, lift cruise liners out of the water etc. As such, he's fully capable of trading blows with beings like other kryptonians and even the Hulk. the strength in his legs also allow him to be able to easily perform a super leap, allowing him to leap tall buildings and far bounds with as ingle jump. perfect for short distances. though his landing is often rough.

Super Senses
Superboy's senses are extremely enhanced, dwarfing those of the average human without difficulty. He can hear almost any wavelength, most infamously by tuning into certain sounds. he can hear someone from miles away -and- be able to differentiate the noise between different items or people or objects. his hearing is so tuned he can hear someone's heartbeat a city away. His sense of smell is superior to that of a bloodhounds, and can track a scent for miles at a time and never forget it.

Invulnerability
Like the Superwoman, Superboy possesses Invulnerability and is nigh-indestructible. Although, thanks to this, he is able to rush headlong into battle overconfidently without a care in the world. He can take laser blasts, bombs, bullets, and while they hurt, they only serve to bounce off of him or to otherwise piss him off. He can still take concussive blows and be knocked unconscious, but it would take a beyond mighty blow, or a series of such, in order to truly take him down.

Infrared/X-Ray Vision
Due to his Kryptonian DNA, Kon-El possesses both Infrared and X-ray vision to increase his ability of sight tenfold. He can easily read heat signatures and can see through anything that isn't lead or lead-based. he can even see normally what people would need a microscope to see.

Super Speed
Due to his kryptonian DNA, superboy can move and percieve the world and himself at supersonic speeds at best.

Tactile Telekinesis
Kon-El was bestowed with full telekinetic and telepathic powers by Cadmus, and he can use these powers to move things with his mind, manipulate people (consent), repel and pull things to him with only his mind. This also gives him considerable resistance to telepathic assaults. Also, tactile telekinesis allows Kon-El to be able to create force fields and simulate other Kryptonian powers through concentration.

Simulated Flight
By creating a TK (tactile telekinesis) field around himself, Kon-El can propel himself through the air in a form of simulated flight. He can fly up to hypersonic speeds at his absolute best and is fully capable of flying in space.

Simulated Heat Vision
By rapidly vibrating the air molecules within his line of sight via his Tactile Telekinesis, Superboy can use heat vision that can easily melt through steel and titanium. It can be in a large or wide beam visibly to increase it's area of effect, or it can be invisible through minimal application for surgical precision.

Healing
Superboy, so long as he is continually charged and has enough reserves of yellow sunlight, is able to heal much faster than the average person, able to heal in a few days what would take people weeks to recover.

Skills

Combat
Due to the training of Superboy telepathically to be a weapon, he is a skilled adept at hand to hand combat even though more often than not he relies solely on his terrifying brute strength. He won't be able to stand against masters of martial arts, but he can hold his own were it based on martial knowledge.

Multilingualism
Superboy has a knack for languages and knows English, Spanish, Atlantean, French, Korean, Arabic and Russian.

Encyclopedic Knowledge
Due to the G-gnomes that were programming Superboy, he has an enclyclopedic knowledge on the entiredy of general world history that is known by humans. though anything he could have learned after his release is what he wouldn't know.

Tactics
Superboy is fully capable of producing plans and strategies that have a high chance of succeeding. Everything from 'let's hit it til l it falls to 'double back around the bakc of the enemy two kliqs from my current position, then when they are distracted, use my heat vision on that explosive barrel to cause a chain reaction which will….'

Resources

Motorcycle
Superboy owns a motorcycle that he 'borrowed' from a junkyard and fixed up. When posing as a human, this is his main form of transportation.

Krypto || Local || A wolf that was genetically modified that was also a part of the Project Kr initiative in an attempt to see if the same solution could be done to animals. Superboy rescued him as he escaped Cadmus and they have been quite close ever since.

Pros

Genius-Level Intellect
Kon-El, thanks to Cadmus, is incredibly smart, able to process problems and situations at mind-numbing speeds, faster than humans can. It may be his greatest asset as he is moderately able to solve what should be mind-boggling to even the most gifted in terms of the mind.

Willpower || Superboy, combined with a general stubborness and a literal temper not to give up, has an immensely strong willpower that allows him to take severe beatings and still get back to his feet and keep going. He'll keep fighting until his body just gives up on him, but he will never willingly give up in a fight.

Cons

Alien
Due to his part Kryptonian DNA, Superboy is a Kryptonian-Human Hybrid, and thus is still classified as at least part alien. Any technology would easily be able to identify him as such assuming that was the technology's core function. Since he has knowledge of human traditions and mannerisms, Connor doesn't exactly -understand- them, which can lead to him confused on why people are giving on Christmas when there is also an emphasis on receiving, etc. He still has much to learn of earth, despite his knowledge.

Code Words
Due to his severe programming by Cadmus, there are certain codewords or sentences that can be used to overwrite Superboy's personality and essentially instantaneously knock him unconscious for varying degrees of time. He has no defense against this, as he doesn't know which codewords have been placed strategically into his mind.

Kryptonite
Due to the effects of having Kryptonian DNA, Superboy will become severely weakened when exposed to Kryptonite; prolongued exposure will cause him to gradually lose his powers or even kill him. If he suffers the effects of Kryptonite, he will recover once he gains distance from it or once it is destroyed, and his powers will return within a few seconds.

Magic Vulnerability
As part Kryptonian, even his invulnerability cannot help him against magic, being one of the only things that can truly hurt Superboy and take him down other than blunt blows and kryptonite.

Red Sun Radiation
Due to the effects of having Kryptonian DNA, Superboy will become severely weakened when exposed Red Sun radiation. Where the yellow sun gives Superboy radiation and he soaks it up like a sponge, a red sun has the complete opposite effect, and if suffered under a red sun, Superboy will weaken until he loses his powers, but red sun radiation won't kill him. Instead, it will leave him like a normal human until he finds himself under a yellow sun.

Secret ID
Superboy leads a double life as both Connor Kent and Superboy. if one were to be found out, then surely the other would be endangered. Whether it be actual physical danger by outside parties or total social collapse.

Temper
Superboy hasn't yet got a handle on his emotions, so when he feels, he feels -strongly-. Sadly, this also applies to his temper. He presently possesses a short temper that can be ignited when people try to control him or generally get on his nerves. this can overwrite to an extent that depending on the severity, it can turn into a berserker rage in which he must defeat his enemy so devastatingly it must be a smiting.

Personal

Linda Danvers/Superwoman
The Source DNA from which Superboy was created as Project Kr. He views Linda as his mother, despite her trying to be more like an elder sister. As it stands, she's been very supportive of him, despite being a clone. He's happy she doesn't find him repulsive.

Karen Starr/Divine
Another clone of Superwoman that Connor identifies as his sister. Given that she tried to put him back in a pod under "orders", he's not sure how he feels about her. He'd much rather hug her and eat ice cream, but as it stands she appears to be an enemy Connor doesn't want to have.//

Donna Troy/Troia
A woman that Connor had met very early in his new life. The two hit it off immediately and seem to be almost clones in personality. The two are often found to be tied, figuratively, at the hip and are extremely close. So close that they share a constant mental and empathic link….and he wouldn't have it any other way.

Allies

Logyn
Met her in a curious situation involving a bar brawl and a fun motorcycle escape. From what he can tell, she's friendly. He doesn't know if he can trust her as of now.

Enemies

Cadmus
The shadowy organization that created Superboy in the first place to be a weapon. Though they fed him the lies that he would 'replace Superwoman if she were to perish, to destroy her should she turn from the light.' Needless to say he's a little pissed with them, and will avoid them at all costs….though nothing would make him happier than to see Cadmus burn.
