## **Characteristics**

### Personality & Traits

Superboy Prime, initially, possessed a great sense of duty and wished to use his powers for good and he got his chance in the Crisis of Infinite Earths. Once he left his Earth however, he began looking for a way back, by any means necessary. This resulted in him developing a rather vicious and destructive personality, which got the attention of those around him. He indulged in things like torture, such as when he was Superman Prime, torturing the recently capture Mxyzptlk. What truly makes him dangerous is that he's single-minded, obsessed to get back to his Earth.

## **Powers & Abilities**

### Powers

* **Kryptonian Physiology:** Hailing from the late planet Krypton, Superboy Prime's physiology under a yellow sun gifts him with extraordinary powers which he uses to protect the innocent.
	+ **Solar Energy Absorption:** Superboy Prime's natural physiology gives him cells that can absorb large amounts of solar radiation from both yellow and blue suns which give him his powers. Whenever he needs to replenish his energy, Superboy Prime can simply absorb the ultraviolet rays of the sun.
	+ **Invulnerability:** Superboy Prime's biological make up is extraordinarily dense which is due to the fact that environment Kryptonians are naturally from are denser than that of Earth's. Under the effects of a yellow sun, his body is virtually impervious to physical damage as well as bullets, lasers, etc. He can even withstand damaging hits from the Anti-Monitor with moderate damage to himself.
		- **Kryptonite Immunity:** Because his Krypton was swallowed up by it's sun, every fragment of Kryptonite was eradicated from existence. This means that there is now known natural Kryptonite capable of even harming Superboy Prime. There is an artificial form however, which had an effect on him, created by Element Lad.
		- **Power Mimicry Immunity:** When confronted by beings who can duplicate another's abilities, Superboy Prime possesses the ability to nullify the effects of said ability.
		- **Magic Immunity:** Where as most Kryptonians are affected by magic, Superboy Prime is capable of withstanding it. He was attacked by Black Adam, where he said the attacks merely "tickled". Despite this, he can be hurt by more powerful and focused mystical attacks.
	+ **Superhuman Strength:** As Superboy Prime possesses an extraordinarily dense molecular structure, his muscles are also known to be far stronger than that of a normal human. This gives him the ability to lift an indeterminate amount of weight over his head. He is even strong enough to shatter reality to travel through various dimensions, alter the fabric of reality through his mere strength and even create sonic booms with a clap of his hands and the strength of his voice.
	+ **Superhuman Healing:** Though he possesses virtual invulnerability, Superboy Prime has been known to sustain damage from certain beings before, like Doomsday. If however he does receive injuries that his invulnerability cannot protect him from, he can heal at a speed faster than that of a normal human being.

		- **Superhuman Hearing:** One of the most iconic of his abilities, Superboy Prime's hearing is known to be far greater than a normal human's. He is capable of hearing things from miles away and even capable of listening to frequencies that only dogs can hear.
		- **Superhuman Smell:** Superboy Prime's sense of smell gives him the ability to detect all forms of odors on the entire planet.
	+ **X-Ray Vision:** Superboy Prime's most iconic power is his ability to see through virtually every known solid object.
	+ **Flight:** While on Earth and planets similar, Superboy Prime has the ability to manipulate gravitons which enable him to defy the laws of gravity which normal people cannot accomplish.
	+ **Heat Vision:** Superboy Prime's absorption of solar energy gives him the ability to channel it through his eyes which produce beams of intense heat from them. He can make the beams visible or invisible.
	+ **Longevity:** As an alien lifeform, Superman's healing factor and invulnerability give him a far slower aging process than that of a normal human being.
	+ **Super Breath:** Superman's powerful lungs can intake tons of air which he exhales from his mouth to produce hurricane force winds. He can also apply the same power by pressing his lips to produce winds with sub-zero temperatures and therefore freeze objects.
* **Magic Empowerment:** Superboy Prime possesses an enchantment from Shazam, which he can use through his punches. These punches are powerful enough to turn the members of the Shazam Family back to their mortal forms.

### Abilities

* **Escapology:** Superboy Prime was capable of escaping the speed force.
* **Mechanical Engineering:** Superboy Prime is said to possess the ability to build advanced machines. One example of this would be the Solar Armor which he wears to maintain his power levels in non-yellow sun environments.
* **Hand-Hand Combat:** Superboy Prime possesses advanced knowledge in hand to hand combat.

## **Weaknesses**

* **Solar Energy Deprivation:** Like most Kryptonians, Superboy Prime must maintain himself by exposing his body to ultraviolet radiation of a yellow sun. He can absorb, convert and use it at his leisure, but without a regular supply of solar energy from a yellow sun, Superboy's powers begin to fade. Under the effects of a red sun, he possesses none of his powers, unless he's wearing his solar armor.
* **Lead:** Superboy Prime's x-ray vision, much like most other Kryptonians, cannot penetrate lead.
* **Obsession:** What makes Superboy-Prime so dangerous, comes in the form of his single-minded mission to return to his own Earth, or what he perceives to be the perfect Earth. It's due to his carelessness in traveling the multiverse has lead to the deaths of countless people, regardless.

## **Equipment**

* **Solar Armor:** To maintain his power levels at maximum under a non-yellow sun, Superboy Prime wears armor based off the Anti-Monitor's. He has claimed to have created it himself, but some believe that he in fact stole the armor. The armor feeds into his body solar energy, which allows him to have his powers, even under the effects of a red sun.
