Attributes & Abilities
Super Strength:
Flight:
Invulnerability:
Enhanced Senses:
Superboy's most prominent and oft-used ability, his strength is only marginally less than that of a developing Kryptonian around his current age. He can lift objects weighing over fifty tons, shred steel with his bare hands and throw punches strong enough to shake a building. This same strength allows him to leap great distances and toss objects just as far, though it has the unintended side-effect of being quite difficult to control at times; Conner has to take considerable care to avoid doing too much damage to an opponent, often to his own detriment.
Flight:
Flight is one of the most iconic abilities of the Kryptonians on earth, and the one Kon-El happens to be the worst at. He has yet to grasp even the most simple concepts required to keep himself airborne, finding it next to impossible to guide himself through the sky; thus far, the best he can do is point himself in a direction and jump as hard as he can to achieve 'flight.' Attempts to redirect himself tend to end in a crash landing at best and a simple crash every other time.
Invulnerability:
Invulnerability is a misnomer, better defined as 'incredible durability.' There are few living beings capable of permanently damaging a Kryptonian, and Superboy is no different. Though such things as explosives and sustained gunfire can cause him pain, it takes a great deal of force to wound him in any meaningful manner, provided no Kryptonite is present. It is said the best way to kill a Kryptonian is with another Kryptonian.
Enhanced Senses:
Kon-El experiences our five senses at a far higher level. Each is tuned to be much more sensitive than any human could imagine, allowing him to see on several different spectrums, hear sounds no human ear could comprehend, and feel on a deeper level than most could put into words. While typically quite useful, he can easily be overwhelmed by sensations, with a particular weakness to bright light and sonic weaponry.
Character Synopsis
Kon-El's origins are shrouded in mystery, and any attempts to dig further into them have been strangled by red tape. All that's known is that he spent an undetermined amount of time within a government-run research facility dedicated to examining Metahumans and the role they play in modern society. An innocuous thing on the surface, how or why Kon came to be in their company isn't known; not much is known about them at all, in fact. All Kon has so far is a name- CADMUS- and the fragmented memories and dreams from his time in that place.
His first, fully-formed memories are of the night of his escape. He can still picture himself standing on the side of the road in the pouring rain, that strange bodysuit of his soaked all the way through, as he flagged down a pickup truck. It didn't take long for his powers to manifest, and it took even less time for the powers that be to take notice. A handful of Leaguers- Superman included- arrived at the farm Kon was residing at. They took him into protective custody, wary of why he was wearing the S and showcasing similar abilities to a trueblooded Kryptonian.
After what felt like hours of interrogation they eventually came to the conclusion that Kon genuinely had no memory of his past, and any attempt by their telepaths to coax it out of him have failed. Whatever the truth may be it was decided the boy was no threat to them, and they began working to help him integrate into society at large. He was given access to both the Fortress of Solitude and the Kent family farm and offered regular lessons in Kryptonian history and physiology by Kelex and trained in how to pass as human by the Kents.
He was promised, too, the chance to learn how to use his powers an an opportunity to do some good with them. But months have gone by without those lessons coming into fruition, and he's grown increasingly agitated by the restrictions placed on him; he can't so much as go outside unless he has someone there to monitor him. Requests for a 'longer leash' were all denied, and his frustration has finally reached it's boiling point. He's decided he's going to leave, whether they want him to or not.
