Super Powers: Known Powers: Because he is not an exact clone of Superman, Superboy's abilities differ.
Tactile Telekinesis: At first, Superboy's only superpower is "tactile telekinesis", a telekinetic force field that surrounds his body as a protective shield and allows him to simulate Superman-level speed, strength, flight and invulnerability. The tactile TK field also lets Superboy break free of an opponent's grip by pushing the field outward to force the opponent away. Other creative uses include rendering an opponent immobile by extending the TK field as long as they are both standing on the same ground.
Telekinetic Superhuman Strength: His full strength is undetermined at this time. He, like Superman seems to be able to lift anything he can conceive of. To date he has lifted the worlds largest yacht using his telekinetic strength (a feat of at least 600 tons).) Objects lifted with his telekinetic strength do not crumble under their own weight or internal stresses. It is conceivable as his will power and concentration improve, so will his superstrength increase. This does not truly count as superstrength in the traditional sense, since Superboy has been bound with chains that were surrounded by an energy field and he was unable to escape because he could not directly affect the chains with his power. In recent years, it has been shown that Superboy was developing natural superhuman strength and what limited his strength such as the previous example no longer applied.
Telekinetic Flight: Superboy is able to fly at high supersonic speeds using a reflexive action of his telekinesis, literally dragging himself through the sky. His concentration is required to maintain great speeds. His fastest recorded speed has been seen at Mach 3 from the pages of Young Justice, and his greatest distance flown unaided has been approximately 12,000 miles.However, as with his strength his speed was also developing naturally , Superboy is capable of roughly reaching speeds of Mach 5 (1 mile a second).
Telekinetic Force-Field: By creating a field around his body, he is able to resist or reduce injury from non-energy based attacks by causing the object to be deflected from his personal force field. Bullets and shrapnel are easily deflected. This field does not repel gases or energy based attacks as well, though his skill in deflecting energy attacks is improving.
Tactile Telekinetic Disassemble: By touching an object, Superboy may cause that object to literally fall to pieces. It can be assumed that he could conceivably put an object back together, if he understood how the object functioned in the first place. He can also manipulate aggregate solid masses such as volumes of sand or dust in the same way, causing the individual particles to fly apart in an explosive manner to create particle clouds or a forceful attack.
Healing Factor: Superboy has a super-healing factor which allows him to recover from injury a lot faster than a normal human being would. This has helped him survive nuclear annihilation, recovering from diseases that would kill normal humans, and the ability to get up after getting fighting powerful metahumans such as Knockout, the Shark or Valor.
Superhuman Reflexes: Superboy's reflex action is also increased allowing him, with concentration, to knock bullets out of the air, and deflect arrows.
As his Kryptonian physiology matures, Superboy gains superpowers that don't derive from tactile telekinesis, including heat vision, x-ray vision, superhuman senses and superhuman stamina. With his Kryptonian powers, Conner no longer relies just on his telekinetic abilities for flight, superhuman strength and invulnerability.
Kryptonian Physiology: Superboy's cellular structure is more dense, resilient and biologically more effective than human tissue, now this includes even having superhuman strength without using any TTK. Without constant exposure to solar energy, his strength seems on par for a human of his height and weight who engages in regular physical activity. He does possess several organs whose functions are not yet disclosed or understood but are believed to be part of and perhaps even the source of his biomatrix force field and reclamation aura. Superboy's body also stores energy actively within his bio-cellular matrix as an energy pattern that is linked to his body's electromagnetic field. This energy powers most of Superboy's electromagnetic capabilities such as flight and heat vision.
Solar Energy Absorption: Technically, this is the main source of Superboy's powers. Because Superboy's powers are greatly due to exposure to Earth's yellow sun, Conner, however, does not process solar energy as quickly as Superman. As a result, he cannot push himself and his powers too far; if he does so, his body starts to eat itself for energy.
Superhuman Strength: While the exact magnitude of Superboy's strength is unknown, it is generally accepted that his strength easily surpasses the capacity to lift 100 tons, but how much more is not known exactly. This is because Superboy's strength, like his other powers, has fluctuated over time. Superboy has also shown the ability to become even stronger when "supercharged".
Invulnerability: Superboy's body is nigh-invulnerable (Has survived high yield nuclear explosions). In addition, his immune system protects him from toxins and diseases. The most common explanations for his invulnerability are Superboy having a super-dense molecular structure and/or a supercharged bioelectric "aura" which acts as an invisible "force field" around his body within a few millimeters from his skin, and presumably within his body as well. The proximity of this field to his skin means that loose clothes, for example, may be burned off of him, while cloth that is close to his body is protected by the "aura;" This phenomenon is sometimes cited as Superboy's reason for wearing a skin-tight bodysuit. It is sometimes implied that he can unconsciously extend this field to an undetermined extent to protect a greater area, allowing him to carry huge objects within the Earth's atmosphere and without gravity or inertia tearing them apart around his human-sized hands.
Superhuman Stamina: Ability to maintain continuous strenuous physical action for an undefined period. Theoretically, Superboy has unlimited stamina, nourishment coming from the solar energy his cells process; he does, however, have the psychological need to eat and drink just as humans do, though he receives the majority of his nourishment from the Sun. He does require sleep on occasion so he can dream. He can also hold his breath for an undefined duration.
Flight: Which allows him to maneuver precisely in any direction, as well as hover. The mechanism by which he flies is unknown, but some suggestions have been a field of energy allowing unconscious manipulation of gravity or diffraction/reflection of gravity due to unidentified Kryptonian organs affected by a yellow sun, or psionic manipulation of a personal anti-gravitational aura, which is also caused by his Kryptonian cells and a yellow sun.
Superhuman Speed: The ability to move at an incredible speed, like the Flash. This includes running, but flying is less strenuous and more versatile. His top speed seems to be around Mach 5. Superboy also possesses superhuman reflexes and the ability to move at incredible speeds by sheer force of will. He can also perform complex actions like assembling objects at hundreds of times faster than a normal human.
Enhanced Senses: Superboy possesses greatly enhanced senses.
Telescopic Vision: The ability to "zoom in" his distance to see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics. The total telescopic ability is unprecedented, but limited to some extent.
X-Ray Vision: The ability to see through anything except lead. He can see things behind a wall as if the wall were not there, or can "peel back" layer after layer of matter in his mind. Opponents sometimes used lead-lined constructs in an attempt to hide things from Superboy. Kon-El is able to focus his vision past layers of matter, literally seeing "through" them -- possibly perceiving x-rays, cosmic rays or other forms of energy invisible to normal human vision which pass through Earth's atmosphere (and solid objects) after emission from stars. Since it is passive, this ability would not generate harmful radiation in the same manner as a focused projection of hard X-rays.
Microscopic Vision: The ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the atomic level (normal optical microscopes can only see objects down to the size of chromosomes).
Heat Vision: The ability to fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it with the conscious act of activating this power. Visually, the power is typically depicted as two beams of red light firing from his eyes. These beams can be made invisible, allowing Superboy to work undetected. The maximum temperature of his heat vision is said to be around that of a nuclear detonation. The area of effect can be consciously determined by Superboy, down to the microscopic level.
Superhuman Hearing: The ability to hear any sound at any volume or pitch. The only Earth creature who can detect sounds at the frequency he can is a blue whale (0.01-200,000 Hz). He has shown enough control to block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source/frequency. Superboy was able to detect disturbances in the frequency the human brain operates.
Learned Abilities:none known
Equipment: Visor--Superboy briefly had a visor, given to him by Emil Hamilton, that allowed him to simulate Superman's vision powers. He lost the visor and it was recovered by the Technician. When he got it back, Superboy destroyed it, rationalizing that he would probably lose it again somehow and then it would put others at risk.
Weaknesses (Must Have): Due to his kryptonian half, Conner is vulnerable to kryptonite and red sun radiation. His tactile-telekinetic field around his body can be penetrated by heat. One of his biggest weaknesses is that since he isn't completely kryptonian, his body can't process solar energy as fast as a pure kryptonian, making Conner weaker than most other kryptonians. This is probably the reason why Superboy-Prime was able to best him in combat both times they fought each other. Lack of solar power will cause Conner's body to eat itself for energy if he pushes himself too hard.
Background: Superboy's origins start with Project: Man of Tomorrow, which is the Superman cloning project originally intended to recreate the Man of Steel.
Superboy's origins start with Project: Man of Tomorrow, which is the Superman cloning project originally intended to recreate the Man of Steel. Due to the inability to replicate Kryptonian DNA, the clones' bodies degenerate after a short period of time.Upon Superman's death,the project is reinstated in secrecy in conjunction with Lex Luthor and Cadmus Labs to replace the fallen hero. After 12 documented attempts at recreating a Superman, human DNA, secretly that of Lex Luthor, is partially used to stabilize the Kryptonian DNA and the result: Superboy, the first successful clone of Superman. His initial abilities were based on a form of telekinesis (known as "tactile telekinesis") by which he could fly and simulate Superman's strength and invulnerability. He was spun off to his own series, which ran for 100 issues until it was canceled following a drop in sales after a change in story direction by DC writer Joe Kelly. "The Kid" was created by Project Cadmus; most of the series had him living in Hawaii. Prior to Kelly's run, the character lived at Cadmus with reintroduced concepts originally created by Jack Kirby.
Superboy found himself inadvertently forming Young Justice alongside Bart Allen (Impulse, Kid Flash II, Flash IV) and Tim Drake (Robin III). He then transitioned along with other Young Justice members to Teen Titans, and in an attempt to live a regular life was adopted with the help of Clark Kent by Jonathan and Martha Kent. He took the name Connor Kent, and began to have a relationship with Wonder Girl. Having always questioned his future and very existence as a clone, he was shown that he did in fact have a soul by Titans teammate Raven and Knightwolf-X alway in the night telling his some true about errors and who u can take life time to pay it on.
Initially it had been thought Kon-El was created only from the genetically engineered human DNA of Cadmus Project director Paul Westfield. Later it was revealed that Superboy had been created from both Superman's and the human DNA. Westfield's DNA, however, had been replaced with that of Lex Luthor, and the developing clone brainwashed so that Luthor could have a sleeper agent among the superhero community. This eventually led to near disaster, as Luthor was able to "unlock" the potential of Kon-El, including his heat vision. This powered Superboy went on to devastate the Teen Titans, injuring all the members including his best friend Robin and girlfriend Wonder Girl. Superboy eventually became free of Luthor's control. Luthor, however, continued to at least claim that he viewed Kon-El as his son.
After freeing himself from Luthor's control, Connor stepped down from superheroing and went to isolate himself on the Kent Farm. When the events of the Infinite Crisis began to unfold and the heroes of the world being pushed to their limits, instead of coming to help Connor sat at home and watched, still fearful that Luthor might once again take control of him and ashamed at how he felt the Titans viewed him. All these events unfolded before Superboy Prime, who came to the Kent's doorstep to retake his place as the Superboy of earth. He forced Connor Kent into a fight, demolishing Smallville. Already quickly beaten and clearly out powered, Connor sent a distress signal that was received by current and auxiliary members of the Teen Titans along with their allies in the Justice Society and the Doom Patrol. Despite the death of Pantha and numerous injuries, the Flashes Wally West, Jay Garrick and Bart Allen were able to push Superboy Prime into another dimension.
Personality : Young, headstrong and impulsive, Superboy is the typical teenager who wants to do everything he can to make a name for himself. Not content to be walking in Superman's shadow, Superboy often goes to extreme levels to make sure he stands out and makes the news, while not being confused with the older Supes.
Quick to action, Superboy doesn't usually plan or prepare before he acts, usually holding a great degree of self confidence in his powers and abilities; this also gets him into some pretty tough situations, and the young man usually needs more than just his own attributes to escape or survive. Also because of being so proud, Superboy has trouble asking for help, prefering not to let his weaknesses show, putting up an extremely brave exterior.
Superboy always tries to do what is right, and will always spare some time for his fans... especially for those of the female variety.

Brief Sample Roleplay Kon woke up Saturday morning at Titan’s Tower. He knew there was something different about the day because the aroma of a fresh baked breakfast wasn’t there. Max continued to cook for everyone on the weekend, much to the Titan’s delight.
He splashed some water on his face and went down to the conference room. A variety of fresh fruits were there, along with some rolls and pitchers of juice. Also on the table was a note.
Conner poured himself a drink and grabbed a roll to eat while he read the note. Sure enough, it was from Max saying that he had something he needed to deal with and that he’d be back by noon on Sunday.
Since he was the first one awake, Conner read the newspaper. It was not a regular occurrence for him to be the only one active in the tower, but since he was used to getting up early on the farm, he usually woke up a couple of hours before most of the Titans. Robin was a late-riser because of his nocturnal lifestyle; Cassie liked sleeping in; Bart and Gar usually goofed around late and got up late; and Raven might be up, but she spent time meditating in her room before joining the others.
Kon missed the laid back atmosphere that they had when they were Young Justice but had to admit that they were much more focused and better heroes as the Titans.
