==Personality==
Although he desires to be a good hero, Superboy has anger issues. Having spent his first 16 weeks of existence as a science project and mind-controlled puppet, Superboy is defiant and does not like being told what to do or being dismissed. He often behaves with an air of extreme confidence, due in large part to the fact that he is Superman's genetic clone, and was created in order to replace him. This makes him exceedingly overconfident in his abilities to the point that he ignores the help of others and impulsively throws himself into situations that he cannot handle on his own. Despite this confidence, he worries about living up to his namesake, Superman. Due to the fact he never really had the opportunity to interact with anyone until recently, Superboy is somewhat anti-social and has a hard time getting along with others or showing his emotions. As such he constantly behaves in a confrontational manner to all people, even those who are attempting to be kind towards him. Even simple things like making amends with people who he has wronged is a tough concept for him to understand. However, he has learned quickly and has become not quite so silent, to the point of even carrying on a conversation without getting angry.
By 2016, Superboy seems to have become more mellow and in touch with his emotions, but he is still angered whenever Miss Martian uses her powers invasively. He has also become more experienced and uses his intelligence more, planning attacks instead of going in with physical strength.
==Legacy ==
In Happy Harbor at noon in 2030, Superboy committed a heroic act that immortalized him as a hero, which lead to the founding of the Legion of Superheroes in the 31st century. He famous lines "get on board"/"get out of our way" were adapted as a mantda of sorts by the Legion; only reversed to be more humble.
==Powers & Abilities==
===Powers===
*Kryptonian physiology: As a partial genetic clone of Superman, he has most of the physical abilities of a Kryptonian who has absorbed the solar energy of a yellow sun. However, due to the human DNA supplied by Lex Luthor, he lacks the more advanced powers of flight and heat vision and presumably is incapable of ever acquiring them. In addition, his existing powers are considerably inferior to Superman's.
**Age Resistance: Externally, Conner will never look any older; internally he will still age, but at a delayed pace of a Kryptonian under a yellow sun. Unlike Will and Jim (Roy's clones), Conner will never be able to change physique or grow his hair.
**Super strength: This is one of Superboy's main abilities, allowing him to easily pick up or carry heavy objects.
***Super leap: To compensate for his inability to fly like Superman, Superboy uses the super-strong muscles in his legs to jump incredible distances and heights.
**Super speed: Although not as fast as Kid Flash, Superboy can move at meta-human speeds especially when charging at enemies.
**Invulnerability: Like Superman, Superboy is nearly indestructible. This invulnerability allows him to rush into dangerous scenes with little care for what might actually happen. Out of all his teammates, Superboy has taken the most punishment from their missions but has displayed no lasting injuries. He has been tackled through walls, shot with guns and explosives, had his feet dipped in lava, and has come out with no obvious physical damage. He has yet to be permanently injured, but he does experience pain.
**Super hearing: Superboy can pick up the faintest of sounds over long distances, as well as high frequencies that are not audible to regular humans.
**Infrared vision: This ability allows Superboy to visually detect heat signatures, allowing him to easily see in the dark.
**Microscopic vision
**Telescopic vision
**Kryptonite Resistance: Due to Lex's DNA, Superboy only gets partially ill from exposure to Kryptonite; unlike Superman, whom almost always fall down in pain and unable to move.
===Abilities===
*Hand-to-hand combatant: While normally relying on his sheer strength, Superboy has developed highly proficient combat skills from his training under Black Canary. He is especially good at grappling and takedowns. By 2016, he had taken an active role in training newer members of the Team.
*Genomorph programming: While Superboy was being force grown, G-Gnomes telepathically fed him information in lieu of a traditional education:
**Multilingualism: Superboy can understand and speak many languages outside of English. He is at least fluent in Spanish, Atlantean, French, Korean, Arabic and Russian, among other languages.
**Encyclopedic knowledge: Likely due to the G-Gnomes, Superboy has an encyclopedic knowledge of World History.

==Trivia==
*Since Conner looks exactly like Match, a pure 100% clone of Superman (minus the whites of his eyes), it's unknown how much of Lex's DNA was used to stabilize him.
**It's unknown if he can make any legal claims any Luthor assets, due to being Lex's technical son.
**If he had been born naturally as a Kryptonian-human hybrid like his nephew Jonny, Conner would have full access to his powers.
*Greg Weisman confirmed the reason Conner's shirts look brighter in Outsiders onwards is due to him never replacing them; all the laundering over the years has washed the color out.
**Ironic as Conner himself has "lightened up" by that point.
*Conner makes a living as a motorcycle repairman, while his wife works as a student counselor at their old high school.
*Its unknown what heroic act made him a great hero, but seeing as Vandal Savage and Darkseid do not hold sway in the future, Conner likely sacrificed himself to defeat them.
*Conne
*Conner is frenemies woth Icicle Jr, which fans apply the joke "He's a friend from work" from Thor Ragnorok; seeing as Jr was invited the wedding.
