Kon-El
Character » Kon-El appears in 1740 issues.
Conner Kent, also known as Kon-El, is a human/Kryptonian hybrid clone of Superman and Lex Luthor created by N.O.W.H.E.R.E. for the purpose of being the mantle of Superman. Instead, he stuck to his own path, and became a member of the Teen Titans.
Superboy was awesome in Young Justice,but...
Actually his TTK doesn't require sunlight at all thats why he is still powered and able to use it when there's a red sun its psionic in nature and not reliant on anything of his Kryptonian side which is what made it useful in mimicking those powers and its many tricks in the first place. At this point it pointed more to him not having it and just being your everyday normal clone so probably full kryptonian unless they make his half human side and TTK as a 'plot twist' or something later in the show." @fedykin87: Well his TTK stil required sunlight much less then supermans but still which was the need for the solar suit he wore, I mean he hadn't been in the sun and he probably isn't fully aware of the extent of his powers lacking training like how he was during the reign of superman. And his invulnerability isn't full proof, it was weak to energy attacks. At this point it could be either TTK or kryptonian powers. "
As for him seeming far weaker in the show well.....thats sort of the way the DCAU has always worked isn't it? they always make Superman less powerful when the episode calls for it and then stronger or where he should be when for fun.
Actually it still requires sunlight, it just uses signifigantly less sunlight then his full kryptonian powers. It shown during the final night storyline.And about the red sun,it's explained his body absorbs solar light at a far signifigantly slower level then other kryptonians, he being only a part krytponian doesn't absorb solar radiation anywhere near as quick,even red sunlight, so his cells remain saturated in yellow sunlight leaving him withhis TTK." @nightwing91 said:

" @fedykin87 said:Actually it doesn't the whole basis of Cadmus giving it to him was that they couldn't figure out how to clone Superman Aura and those powers perfectly so TTK was given to him as its own power and to mimic as many Kryptonians ones as possible. They also have numerous showings of him using it when Superman and other Kryptonians can't use their abilities and made a point of saying it had to do with the sun and what not. Also Kryptonians don't absorb red sunlight and it blocks them for accessing any abilities given to them by their solar reserves, think bats said something along those lines when Clark wanted to depower Chris. Conner's solar energy processing problem was only mention after his fight with SBP (to my memory as everyone was shocked to hear it around Infinite Crisis) as well though that seems to be fixed post resurrection as he had no issues going against him in LO3W. Its also shown before and in his numerous future selves to be a pure psionic power though he can apparently link it to his Kryptonian ones to power them (being stronger, fast, durable etc etc) like you see in some Marvel characters.Actually it still requires sunlight, it just uses signifigantly less sunlight then his full kryptonian powers.

Yeah he's not even Superboy. He's just another character that has his powers and wheres a similar costume.
It is him, he could either develop into the person he is now in the comics or the writers can go their own way. Like they do in Smallville." Yeah he's not even Superboy. He's just another character that has his powers and wheres a similar costume. "

Depends if the writers want that. If so, then it would be natural for Kryptonians to increase in strength over time." @Supreme Marvel: His strengh should increase right? "

" @Supreme Marvel said:The writers have chosen who they want. We have to accept it now. :( I totally agree with you, Tim and Bart should have been in this. Miss Martian did look awesome in her "stealthy" costume. I wish that was her permanent costume." @cascadeking09 said:They've pretty much made him into a quick tempered a-hole.

But Superboy is already changing, it was evident in drop zone, he was much more of a team player, in fact his personality has almost did a complete 180 compared to how it was last week. The longer he's around young justice, and hopefully if superman starts accepting him he'll end up more like the comics Connor. And until now Superman has completely skipped having in responsibility with Connor, putting him off on other heroes. But hopefully he'll realize it's not Kon's fault, which from the ending to the premiere it seemed he was trying not to hate him, after being cloned without his permission.
Superman is his father, and superboy sees it as him being completely abandoned by him.
Clark: Lois this is my son.
Lois:WTF
Clark: Don't worry he's only my son in the sense that he was cloned from my DNA without my knowledge at all, I tried to leave him with Bruce but he kept nagging me.
Lois: GTFO Clark.
