==Biography==
===Birth===
Jonathan Samuel "Jon" Kent is the son of the Kryptonian superhero, Superman and Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane. He was born during a multiversal cataclysm where his parents were abducted from their Earth, and placed on a sentient planet to fight amongst others who were abducted. 
Superman managed to get his family to safety, and with the assistance of Batman, aided the delivery of Jon. Clark and Lois decided to name their son in honor of Clark's adoptive father and Lois's father, Jonathan "Pa" Kent, and Samuel Lane.
When Vril Dox, who had caused the cataclysm, had a change of heart, Lois and Superman went to the first crisis in order to prevent the multiverse from collapsing. Superman, Lois, and their son ended up stranded on a different Earth, and to avoid being discovered, the family went under the surname White.
Jon's past history is eventually changed after a confrontation with Mister Mxyzptlk altered the continuity. In this revised timeline, Jon was born within the Fortress of Solitude after terrorists made an attempt on Lois's life.
===Childhood===
Jon grew up without knowing of his parents' past while living a normal life but became suspicious of their behavior due to his father still acted as a superhero and his mother still published her work under the pseudonym "Author X". Jon eventually learned that he inherited superpowers from his father, and was later rescued by his father and told the truth about his family's origins. Jon and his parents would later encounter the Eradicator, who wanted to absorb Jon's Kryptonian powers. Jon and Clark battled the Eradicator and managed to defeat him with the assistance of Lois donning one of Batman's suits.
===Adventures===
Superman gave Jon the title Superboy after introducing his son to Batman and Wonder Woman, having traveled to the Justice League's Watchtower. Additionally, Clark gave his son a pair of glasses and a hat to help Jon form his secret identity. While working on a science project for school with his father, a device in the Fortress of Solitude went haywire and transported them to Dinosaur Island. The two managed to fight out the mutated dinosaurs with the help of Captain William Storm and returned home.
Later on, Jon accidentally torched some woodlands near a swamp while searching for a Christmas tree, but was rescued by Nobody and Goliath. He was then brought to the Batcave for questioning and learned that Damian Wayne had been keeping him under surveillance for a while. The two did not get along at first, and the situation became further complicated when Superman and Batman blamed each other for the conflict. A fight was stopped when Jon used his freeze breath to separate the two, and he explained the situation to his father.
Superman and Batman decided to teach their sons the value of teamwork and had them undergo a series of challenges, but they failed them. Jon and Damian finally managed to put aside their differences to save their fathers from an apparent threat in the Batcave, but it was revealed to be a ruse. At this point, Alfred Pennyworth declared them to be the "Super Sons", and the two became partners.
After the events of Doomsday Clock, Lois Lane sent Jon to live with his grandfather Jor-El who had become displaced in time. During their time together, Jon fell into a black hole and landed on Earth 3 where he was attacked by the Crime Syndicate. He was imprisoned inside a volcano for years until he finally managed to escape and return to his universe at the age of eighteen. However, he realized only three weeks had gone by on Prime Earth since he first left.
