## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Kryptonian/Meta-human physiology:** Conner Kent is binary clone of Superman and Lex Luthor.

* **Tactile Telekinesis:** At first, Conner only superpower was "tactile telekinesis", a telekinetic force field that surrounded his body as a protective shield allowing him to simulate Superman-level speed, strength, flight and invulnerability. The TK field also let Conner 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 were both standing on the same ground.
	+ **Telekinetic Superhuman Strength:** He, like Superman was able to lift almost anything he could conceive of. He lifted the world's largest yacht and threw a football at Mach 5. Objects lifted with his telekinetic strength did not crumble under their own weight or internal stresses. This was not super strength in the traditional sense, as Conner had been bound with chains that were surrounded by an energy field which he was unable to escape because he could not directly affect the chains with his power. It was stated he could lift a battleship.
	+ **Telekinetic Flight:** Conner was able to fly at high supersonic speeds using a reflexive action of his telekinesis, literally dragging himself through the sky. Concentration was required to maintain great speeds which could reach roughly speeds of Mach 5.
	+ **Telekinetic Force-Field:** By creating a field around his body Conner was 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 were easily deflected. This field did not repel gases or energy-based attacks as well, though his skill in deflecting energy attacks improved.
	+ **Telekinetic Force Blasts:** Conner also learned that he could shoot energy blasts from his hands from Knockout. The blasts he can shoot are more powerful than Superman's heat vision.
	+ **Telekinetic Super Hearing:** Conner's TK allows him to hear sounds from far away and through glass.

## Weaknesses

* **Kryptonian Physiology:** Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Conner possesses the same potential weaknesses as an average Kryptonian. These include:
	+ **Vulnerability to Kryptonite:** Kryptonite can weaken a Kryptonian's physical or mental attributes.
		- **Green Kryptonite:** Green Kryptonite can weaken a Kryptonian's physical attributes.
		- **Red Kryptonite:** Continuous contact with red kryptonite compromised a Kryptonian's inhibitions and morality; often causing them to break the law and act selfish and rebellious.
		- **Silver Kryptonite:** Silver Kryptonite can causes Kryptonians to suffer from altered perceptions, loss of inhibition and extreme hunger cravings.
		- **Gold Kryptonite:** While heated up, can be used to permanently scar Kryptonians. Prolonged contact could permanently remove all Kryptonian superhuman abilities. Contact with a large amount of gold kryptonite could kill a Kryptonian.
		- **Black Kryptonite:** Could separate aspects of the psyche of Kryptonians or humans and manifest them in a duplicate body, typically as "good" and "bad" versions of someone. Black kryptonite was created by superheating green kryptonite to extremely high temperatures.
		- **Blue Kryptonite:** Suppressed superhuman abilities in Kryptonians with continuous contact, specifically resistance to illness and injury. Aging in Kryptonians was also increased to the speed of humans by prolonged contact. Kryptonians were resistant to effects of green kryptonite when in contact with blue K. In humans, blue K dramatically improved health. With Bizarro, blue K exponentially increased the clone's powers to the point the body became unstable and exploded, killing the Phantom Zone wraith. It also removes a Kryptonian's powers, but only as long as the Kryptonian remains in contact with it.
		- **Red-Gold Kryptonite:** Red-Gold Kryptonite temporarily deprives Kryptonians of their memories.
		- **Red-Green-Gold Kryptonite:** Red-Green-Gold Kryptonite can permanently remove the individual's powers and memories of ever having them.
	+ **Vulnerability to Magic:**
	+ **Vulnerability to Red Sun Radiation:** The damage from the Red Sun seems to be less effective on him than the full Kryptonians.
	+ **Yellow Sun Processing:** Because Kent couldn't absorb solar energy than Superman was able to do as teen, Superboy was unable to process as much yellow sun energy as Superman could; as a result, overexerting his powers could spell his death, as his body would literally begin to feed on itself, unable to absorb solar energy fast enough to restore itself.
* **Arrogance:** Conner has always had always had a bit of a hubris when it came to himself, due to half his DNA coming from Lex Luthor. This issue had got him into disquiet situations multiple times during the early parts of his superhero career. Conner has learned to be humbler and embrace humility more often, due to the death of his first girlfriend Tana Moon, nearly losing Guardian and almost killing the Teen Titans thanks to Lex Luthor. But Conner's ego still has resurfaced a few times, that has inconvenience him in stressful situations. Which has allowed someone like General Zod to get the better of him in combat.

## Paraphernalia

### Equipment

#### Former 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.
