Description
In this Elseworld Universe the teen now known as Conner Kent is the second attempt by Lex Luthor to create a clone of Superman after the initial attempt resulted in the creation of the megalomaniac pseudo Kryptonian that calls himself Zod. To prevent a similar fate from befalling the creation of this clone as did the first, Luthor uses his connection to the government funded scientific research agency Project Cadmus to manipulate their genetic research team into aiding in this task.

The Cadmus scientists solution to the errors from Luthor's own cloning process is to halt this clone's growth at adolescence as well as mix human DNA with the Kryptonian DNA of the clone to insure a more stable and viable clone. Luthor volunteers his own DNA in a vain attempt to insure that this clone would owe allegiance to Luthor himself as well as any cause he deemed the clone necessary to achieving. The Cadmus scientists were successful in creating the stable and viable clone, but due to the mix of Luthor's human DNA into his genetic makeup, his yellow sun derived Kryptonian abilities were diluted compared to those of Superman's or Zod's. He has the abilities that both have but at half the power level.

Despite this Luthor decides he will use the young clone as a weapon in his efforts to humble and destroy Superman. Due to the actions of technicians covertly in his employ working at Cadmus, Luthor is able to have the clone implanted with subconscious programming that would make him compliant to Luthor's will and agenda. The young clone is initially a loyal servant to Luthor made so by the fact of Lex informing the clone that the human DNA he has is his own and thus making Luthor his father. But despite his programming and Luthor's manipulation of facts in regards to Superman, during the months that he engaged both Superman and Supergirl in combat , the young clone could not help notice the selfless acts and over all heroic nature of the two alien born champions and began to question his mission and true purpose in life.

With the aid of both Superman and Supergirl, the young clone is eventually able to break free of his programming and chooses not to be simply a living weapon for Luthor now allying himself with who he now deems his “true blood”, Superman. Superman and Supergirl embrace the young clone into their fold and Kal-El gives the young clone the Kryptonian name of Kon-El and makes him an official member of the House of El due to having Kal-El's DNA. Kon-El adapts the human alias of Conner Kent, another young cousin to Clark Kent as well as the hero codename of Superboy.

Like Clark & Kara, Conner wears a watch with Kryptonian tech that rearranges the molecules of any attire he wears into his Superboy costume & changes back to it's original state when wishes to resume his Conner Kent identity.
