Superboy

Created to replace Superman, Superboy is the closest human equivalent to a Kryptonian that Cadmus geneticists were capable of creating.

It is theorized that Superboy is like a solar battery, like Superman, and may have other abilities that he was intended to grow into, but since being "birthed" prematurely and then genetically held at age sixteen, he may never manifest these abilities.

Superboy originally thought that he would take over when Superman retired, but it's clear that fate is steering this irreverent, irrepressible member of generation "S" in a direction as unpredictable and high-energy as he is himself!
