He built homes for the Poorest families where rent or upkeep was paid for by him, he built schools for under-privileged kids, and even a Super-Hero Academy for Super-Powered Teens and young children. He also passed a Sanction on a Young Hero Registration Act, which meant that any Young Heroes Registered in their Database, were Protected from Persecution, given an Education, a Home, and were eventually Recruited into the Team if deemed capable enough. The only ones who were exempt from the Registration Act were Justice Leaguer's and their Protégés, alongside members of the Gotham Protectorate and the Team, former Members included.***

***Upon turning 20 years old, he was approached by Nightwing and Wonder Girl about joining the Justice League's Covert Operations Team, codenamed the Young Justice League. He was assigned to Beta Squad alongside Blue Beatle, Wonder Girl, Robin and Bumblebee. When he realised that Nightwing was Dick Grayson he clocked him in his Jaw. He soon discovered that under the Earth's Yellow Sun, like his Kryptonian Ancestors, he could use Superhuman Powers and Abilities, however he discovered that his Scarab had allowed him to develop many new Abilities as well.***

Despite lingering Animosity Towards Batgirl, he stayed Professional.***

***He used his Scarab's Scanner to get a fix on any trace energy Readings, and discovered traces of Zeta Beam Radiation, meaning that the Krolotean's were using Boom Tubes or at least a variation of their Technology.
