upcoming issue of Adventure Comics, written by Tony Bedard and penciled by Travis Moore will be titled "What Would Black Lantern Superboy Do?"
 
 

“The title is ‘What Would Black Lantern Superboy Do?’ and, frankly, he says some pretty outrageous stuff, plumbed from Conner’s subconscious. In fact, we learn an awful secret about Conner that I kinda wish I didn’t know. And there is a HUGE moment in this issue that no one will want to miss. ADVENTURE #7 tangibly pushes the character forward in a way you won’t expect.”

Based on the two covers by Francis Manapul and Aaron Lopresti, it looks like Conner will be going after Cassie Sandsmark? Adventure Comics starring Black Lantern Superboy will be released on February 10, 2010, and Blackest Night #7 will hit the shelves the following week. Either way, it looks like he will return by April based on the solicit for Adventure Comics #10. Are you looking forward to the next issue of Adventure Comics?

" yea i didnt think superboy had freeze breath but maybe he just gained that power  After a short time Conner's Kryptonian physiology developed he gained near enough the same powers as Superman, he gained super strength, although the full extent of his strength has never been shown he is strong enough to go toe to toe with the likes of Superboy-Prime, Conner also gained invulnerability which gives him a massive durability level, heat vision, x-ray vision, and super hearing but has never been shown to use super breath or telescopic vision. However, because Conner is still growing and developing,his powers continue to increase in strength.There is a slight down fall in that his body sometimes uses up it's stored solar energy too quickly so Superboy can't always push himself to the limit.      "
Thats because he's half human and he also won't live as long as superman "
 Actually wasn't that weakness weeded out? Fighting Prime the first time is what introduced it but after he was revived he was able to go toe to toe with Prime the entire time not only showing an increase in power but that he could now push himself to that level without dying. Also wasn't it also shown that he isn't unless powerful or as long live(able) as Superman just because he's half human? It just seems he gains the power levels supes has a bit slower although like I said he was able to go toe to toe with Prime and thats something it toke Supes, Supergirl, and Powergirl to do when Prime was weakened. "
lol yea i never understood that. He seems to be weaker than Superman and/or supergirl but as strong as supreboy prime. How does that work? I wish they would straighten out his power levels. I would love for him to be on the level of superboy prime but if he was that strong there wouldnt be much need for the entire teen titans team he is about to join, also He would be unstoppable. "
he's not that strong. His first fight with Prime, he got his butt kicked because Prime is stronger and faster. The second fight (and the third) he had a surprise advantage, and the fights didnt last that long. Its like a lightweight fighter going against a fast heavy. He isnt as strong or even as fast, but as long as he stays a step ahead he can survive.  "
suprise attacks only help for so long, He was going toe to toe with superboy prime in the end. They seemed to be pretty evenly matched at the end. "
I agree with this. Surprise attack only work for so long and Prime was in the arctic in direct sunlight so it wasn't like he was getting weaker at all he was full charged and strong the whole time and pimp slapping multiple Ultra Boys and Mon-Els effortlessly but Conner was the only one that was in his face the whole time he was fighting him. Given most of his story and everything I would say that Conner is even with Supergirl and Superman probably if he uses his TK strength but his Kryptonian ones are still developing so those might be weaker than his TK ones such as strength or something at least until he absorbs enough sunlight as adult Conner has shown to be as strong if not stronger than supes. The comics never actually stated or shown that he was weaker than a kryptonian just because he was half human just that he could be because he isn't as developed. Chris is the only 'kryptonian' shown to be weaker since he's only part or something and probably just using it for Conner to even though the opposite is shown in comic. "

makes sense, what i think is funny is that it seems like if your a half hybrid human and whatever else the hybrids seem to be stronger than either of the parents races.

yeah that is funny even with their own abilities. I know with Conner he's not only going to develop all the kryptonian abilities but he's also going to have them up to supes level if not more specially since  he can now take on prime apparently. Though you know he'll be more powerful because he'll not only have the kryptonian powers but his TK based ones as well which if you've read Young Justice and his own series you'd know let they let him do a lot that no other Kryptonian can.

As far as the fight with Prime goes, while he's developed his Kryptonian strength and endurance, he still has his TTK. If you look at how strong TTK made him when it was only enhancing Human level stats, imagine what it would do to Kryptonian level abilities and you have it make allot more since that he was able to face off against Prime. Also with his regeneration in the Chrysalis an the fact it fixed his Kryptonian DNA first, he may no longer have any of those limitations that he suffered from b4. I mean i doubt that it wouldn't have healed those, and that an author (especially not one of Geoff's caliber) would miss an opportunity like that to fix that kind of problem.

Crush on Tim? Yeah, I hope so. While I'm at it, let's have a permanent Inertia resurrection and a pony.

that would be nice. Than the only problem becomes the fact that he would be killed off or depowered because they would be unwilling to move superman on to his next saga in his life and have him start patroling the universe. I understand why ($$$$$$) they dont want to put superman on a back burner per-say when it comes to defending earth and he could still show up but they could give superboy his own solo and have him start really taking the pole position at becoming one of their iconic three. I believe they should do it withbatman too, i love dick graysons chracter, i think the mantle should be handed on permanently. Even if Dick doesnt stay batman i think Bruce needs to take a step back. The writers need to allow bruce to be showed up in performance when it comes to aerobatics and agility, he can still be a better detective but let his body start showing age, His mind can slip later in time, let him take a position as a background figure that guides and helps teach mentally. Let him become the non-technological side of oracle.

so just got done reading the adventure comics Blackest night tie in and ..... 
 
Conner thinks Cassie never shuts up 
Mentions his thoughts of them getting married 
admits he has a thing for Kara (Super girl) this is just weird he even explains how they are basically cousins but since he is a slone it shouldnt count
 and now has the power of freeze breath. 
  
All in all the issue was great, some weird parts but I LOVED IT!!!
