SUPERBOY / CONNER KENT

10
Kon-El (or Conner Kent, when he's trying to keep a low profile) is the young clone of the world-famous Superman; though, other than their shared passion for helping people, the two of them couldn't be more different.

Kon first appeared after the Man of Steel fell in his battle against Doomsday. Having escaped from the lab where he was created just in time to learn the news, Kon decided he was the one to fill the void left by the hero's death, and took on the mantle. After his short-lived tenure as Superman (which ended with Kal-El's return), Kon moved to Hawai'i and kept up his superheroing — this time as the world's one and only Superboy®!
