Great protection
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
After riding some rougher terrain I decided I needed some knee protection, and finally settled on these. After riding with them for a couple of weeks, I have no complaints. They are not bulky, and cover a significant section of your leg. Most knee pads are going to get a little sweaty and uncomfortable on a hot day, but these felt amazing while having them on all day. Great product!
As good as it gets
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
These pads are great, fit secure and never moves. These are my first real pair of pads so i was very cautious on buying an pads, for comfort & protection. I must say these met & exceeded my expectations.
Don't wait until you have a wreck...
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
A couple months ago, I stuffed a front tire going down a steep and rocky descent. I went over the bars, broke a couple ribs, and lost a good amount of flesh from the tops of my knees. It was in this moment that I was reminded that I'm getting too old to take this kind of abuse and that it was silly to not wear knee pads of some sort.
Unfortunately, I can't get any less old, but I could easily remedy the knee protection.
I bought these with little to no knowledge on what I was getting. I wanted a "soft" knee pad that covered more than just my patella. A bulk of the professional athletes I follow use POC gear, so it just made sense.
Now that my ribs have healed and the skin has mostly grown back, I headed to the bike park to give these a go.
- They look very nice. This may seem silly to list as a pro, but a lot of the pads I've seen people use are incredibly gaudy and don't make any sense.
- Once they're on, you barely notice them. The padding material (VPD) doesn't seem to wiggle around on your leg or rub your knees. For the most part, I forgot that I was wearing them both up hill and down hill.
- Pedal bite be gone. With the exception of one footing mistake, these pads covered far enough down my leg that they caught the pedal every time I slipped one. No signs of distress or wear from those pedal bites.
- They do not budge. Maybe it's because I'm on the top end of the "large" size, but they did not budge during the first couple hours of riding (more on that below).
- Poor ventilation. I could definitely feel the heat in these. I understand that this is part of the design though, and it wasn't terrible...just sweaty.
- They don't like going on sweaty legs. During a whiskey and burger break, I pulled the pads down to allow my legs some time to "breath." Unfortunately, I learned that once they got sweat on the bands, they had a difficult time staying in place. The pads that hadn't moved all day now needed to be adjusted at the end of every run. It's still not a deal breaker for me, but it's good to know going forward.
Overall, I absolutely love these pads and plan on adding the matching elbow pads to my kit in the next short while. It's always better to have them and not need them than it is to need them and not have them.
Sold. Thank you for your review! Now just time to work up the money...(lol, 16 and school's in).
Are these longer than the DH knee guards?...
Are these longer than the DH knee guards? Can't decide whether or not to go for these or the DH ones to use for freeriding and downhilling. Also, is there VPD padding all the way from the top to the bottom on the front of the guard? As in, does it provide the same areas of protection as other hard shell guards? I just ordered the VPD jacket so I'm looking to upgrade my whole arsenal of protective gear to POC. I will be riding at Trestle, Angel Fire, Keystone and other DH/FR places during this season. Any advice would be great. Thanks.
POC knee/shin pad
I run 'em under my snow pants while snowboarding. The fit is a little off when I put them on but when they heat up a bit they get softer and I can hardly tell they're there... until I smash my shins into a rail and I ride away unscathed. The shin pad extends to the top of my snowboard boot (Burton Raptor) and rests there so they don't slide down at all but it doesn't seem like they would any way.
Keep Stealing
These are my wifes and she is starting to get angry with me for stealing them from her. They are way comfortable for downhilling and even for pedaling and I find they offer almost as good as protection as the burly hard plastic ones. They have rotated and slipped down on me during a crash, but I'll take some responsibly for not having them properly cinched down. Great all around knee pad.
any chance these coming in small on HNR?

Five players to watch in the AFC divisional playoff game between the Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos on Saturday:
Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning
Manning is about as experienced as it gets in the playoffs. He's played in 19 postseason games and has been to two Super Bowls. However, his postseason record is only 9-10, with seven "one and done" seasons.
Manning has also never won a playoff game in the type of conditions he'll see Saturday, with temperatures expected to be less than 20 degrees. In three postseason games with temperatures at kickoff at 40 or below, he threw one touchdown, seven interceptions and had a 46.2 passer rating.
Manning will wear a glove on his hand to adjust to the weather. He's done that twice this season, throwing six touchdowns to one interception in those two games.
One statistic in Manning's favor is his performances against the Ravens. He's won his last nine outings against Baltimore dating to 2001.
Broncos linebacker Von Mller
There's was no sophomore slump for Miller this season. He finished third in the league in sacks and broke the single-season Broncos record, with 18.5.
Miller will be quite the headache for the Ravens if they fail to protect quarterback Joe Flacco, who was sacked three times in the last meeting. Miller didn't have a sack in that game, but had three quarterback hits.
Miller's stat line this season is impressive — 68 tackles, six forced fumbles, one interception returned for a touchdown and two pass deflections. He was last season's Defensive Rookie of the Year and earned his second Pro Bowl berth this season.
Ravens running back Ray Rice
Rice is sure-handed with the football in the regular season. The playoffs have been a different story. He ended a streak of 445 touches without a fumble last week when he turned the ball over twice in the wild-card round against the Indianapolis Colts.
Rice carried the ball 257 times for 1,143 yards and nine touchdowns and caught 61 passes for 478 yards and a touchdown this season. His biggest moment came against the San Diego Chargers on Nov. 25, when he converted on fourth-and-29 to sustain a tying drive for the Ravens, who went on to win in overtime.
Rice, who was voted to the Pro Bowl this season, can be a game-charger for an inconsistent offense. However, he had only 38 yards in his last game against the Broncos, and the Ravens turned the ball over twice. They can't afford to make mistakes the second time.
Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis
There's no underestimating the emotional impact of Ray Lewis' return against the Indianapolis Colts last weekend after missing most of the season with a triceps tear. At 37, it's no secret Lewis isn't the same player he was during the Ravens Super Bowl season in 2000. But he led the team with 13 tackles in his return against the Colts.
Lewis, who will retire after the season, is the undisputed leader of the Ravens defense, and provides unmeasured intangibles. His veteran presence undoubtedly will be a factor Saturday.
Lewis has participated in 18 postseason games, with 115 tackles, two sacks, two interceptions and six forced fumbles. In his six regular-season games in 2012, he had 57 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
Broncos cornerback Tracy Porter
A former New Orleans Saint, Porter got off to a quick start in his first season with the Broncos. He clinched the Broncos' season opener with a 43-yard interception return for a touchdown.
But he's been plagued with various ailments and played sparingly this season. He suffered a seizure in training camp and began feeling symptoms again in October, putting him out of commission until Dec. 23. Just three snaps into his first game back, he received a concussion and has been out since.
Porter hasn't been ruled out yet for Saturday's game against the Ravens, but it's doubtful he will play after sitting out of practice all week.
In six games this season, Porter had 21 tackles and one interception returned for a touchdown.

Photos: It Hailed in Studio City
Snowfall in Los Angeles is not unheard of, but, save for its most northern foothill neighborhoods, it doesn't happen all that often on the Valley floor or in the basin. On the other hand, hail does occur somewhat more often, and this afternoon in at least the southeastern portion of the San Fernando Valley it came down pretty hard as reports surfaced of actual snowfall in the northeastern valley. Here are some more photos from Studio City below.

By from Staff Reports, ANAD PAONovember 10, 2011
ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- Anniston Army Depot completed its first pilot Stryker overhaul program Oct. 18.
The program called for the pilot vehicle, numbered ICV-0003-01, to be disassembled and its components and hull reworked by depot personnel, with the assistance of General Dynamics Land Systems, which refurbished or replaced some components. GDLS is the original equipment manufacturer for the Stryker.
The vehicle selected for the pilot overhaul is from the 1st Stryker Brigade, 25th Infantry Division and is 10 years old.
The Stryker's engine, a 350 horsepower Caterpillar 3126 turbo diesel, was refurbished in the Powertrain Flexible Maintenance Facility.
Its transmission was also reworked and the engine and transmission were then mated into a "FUPP," or full-up power pack and dynamometer tested.
The depot also worked on approximately 27 cables and wiring harnesses for the vehichle and electronic line-replaceable-units were refurbished here and tested at Redstone Arsenal.
The depot will begin the overhaul of up to 26 Stryker ICVs in fiscal year 2012 as well as complete pilot overhauls on seven other Stryker variants.

LUMBERTON — An Amber Alert was issued this afternoon for a 38-year-old registered sex offender who allegedly abducted his 8-year-old son from Burlington County earlier in the day.
Terry Dusseault took the child from the 300 block of Canal Circle in Lumberton Township, according to New Jersey State Police.
The suspect is also wanted on six charges for crimes committed against children in New Jersey, authorities said. Dusseault was convicted in North Carolina of third-degree child exploitation charges in 2007, was sentenced to probation and was listed on that state's sex offender registry, according to information on the North Carolina Department of Justice website and the North Carolina Department of Correction Offender Public Information website.
State Police said Dusseault took his 8-year-old son, Terry Dusseault, around 11 a.m. from a home in Lumberton.
The boy is described as being 4 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 80 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. He was dressed in a maroon-and-white striped shirt and blue jeans, according to police. He responds to the nickname "Junior."
His father is 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 210 pounds and also has brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a tan shirt and khaki shorts. Police said he has a tattoo of "NY" on his left arm.
He is believed to be driving a black Hyundai Santa Fe SUV with New Jersey plates: LXB-61U.
Dusseault is wanted on six counts of child sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child, authorities said. The public is asked to contact the New Jersey State Police if they have any information on the whereabouts of Dusseault or his son.
When the Amber Alert was issued today, radio stations throughout the region aired details of the alert and special bulletins were posted on electronic message boards on the New Jersey Turnpike and other highways around the state.
The Star-Ledger contributed to this report.

When Walter Meyer attended high school, the Pittsburgh native did whatever he could to blend in. As a senior, he was 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighed less than 120 pounds.
Due to his stature, he stood out like a sore thumb.
Often in high school, standing out leads to consequences from fellow students.

Melanie Witkowski of Chautauqua Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Council leads and anti-bullying workshop with teens at The Gateway Center during a recent event. She emphasized the importance of bystander intervention in stopping bullying, and advising teens to be assertive when confronting bullies.
P-J photos by Scott Shelters
Jerry Ackerman, left, led a panel discussion with other experts at The Gateway Center. School officials and community members sat in for the question and answer session.
Experts believe most bullying victims look or act differently than their peers; they don't quite fit in with everyone else.
"I was an easy target," Meyer said.
He chose to be an average student. He didn't want to be bullied, and he felt the smart kids received that type of treatment.
Decades later, Meyer thinks he missed opportunities in his younger years due to that fear.
Since high school, he has tried to make up for lost time. He embraced his writing skills as a Penn State student and later became a published author and traveling speaker.
"It was a great feeling to be able to share my talents with the world," said Meyer. "I wonder what more I would've done in college if I wasn't afraid to be out and be who I was."
Meyer accepted he was gay and now works as a full-time writer and consultant, speaking frequently on bullying. His most recent book, "Rounding Third," follows the story of two 17-year-old baseball players who don't fit in with their teammates. The book's popularity led Meyer to several cities, including Jamestown, where he spoke at JCC on bullying in October.
When Meyer speaks, he advises parents to teach children basic respect and to treat them decently, noting kids often become bullies because of how they're treated at home.
Jerry Ackerman, who was the keynote speaker at The Gateway Center's inaugural anti-bullying event recently, believes communication can prevent bullying.
He and his family eat as many meals together as possible. It allows them time to talk about each other's days. Many families aren't doing that.
"I think some parents are afraid to communicate with their kids because they want to be their friends," said Ackerman, who speaks internationally on the subject. "You brought them into this world; you need to help them get through this world and not just be an advocate for what they're doing."
Ackerman said the only way for parents to have quality time with their kids is to have "quantity time" with them, noting the more involved parents are with their children, the more likely they will be to prevent bullying.
At The Gateway Center's event, Ackerman spoke for school administrators, students, parents and community members on prevention tactics.
"A lot of times, when I do a parent seminar, the ones who come aren't the ones who need to," he said.
Some parents don't believe their children would ever bully or be bullied. Without hard evidence to the contrary or sound communication with their children, bullying could go unnoticed.
"Back decades ago, if I got in trouble at school, my parents would say, 'You're going to get it twice as bad at home.' Now a lot of parents are the first ones at the school door saying, 'My kid can't do that; he's an angel,'" Ackerman said.
Through Meyer's research and speaking experiences, he has reinforced the belief that those who stand out, those who are different, receive the bulk of insults.
Although much of his work focuses on the bullying of gays, Meyer learned how another group suffers from something similar while speaking to the San Diego School Board recently.
"The one member of the school board said he teaches in a school with a large Filipino-American population. He was saying those kids get picked on for being Filipino," Meyer said. "It's pretty much the same issue, regardless of who's being picked on; it's still wrong."
Ackerman and Meyer believe adolescents suffer from bullying more often than any other demographic. Children struggling with their own insecurities tend to pick on others to elevate themselves.
According to figures provided to the anti-bullying event's attendees, nearly 160,000 U.S. children skip school due to fear of being bullied each year.
Thanks to cyber bullying, they now have the same fears when they log onto social networking sites or flip open their cellphones.
"Text bullying is huge. Outside of verbal bullying, it's the biggest way people bully," Ackerman said. "It's easy to do; it's anonymous. It is hard to detect as far as who sent it."
Throughout his years of familiarity with the topic, Meyer has seen a lot stay the same, but he said bullying tactics have changed.
"One older gentleman who read my book said he was glad I used the word 'iPod' on Page 1 because it showed people this was happening in the present. He said it sounded so much like what he went through in high school in the 1950s," Meyer explained. "When I was in school, I could run home and hide from those people, but now if you go home and you turn on Facebook or Twitter or your cellphone, I think there's less of a chance to hide from it."
At The Gateway Center, a panel of bullying experts, including Ackerman, advised parents to print off evidence of cyber bullying. Ackerman went as far as to say children of a certain age shouldn't have social-networking accounts, adding parents should have access to any of their children's profiles.
Stereotypical bullies look more like the cast of "Glee" than that of "The Office," but experts believe workplace bullying happens often.
It doesn't happen as much online, and it isn't nearly as obvious as high-school teasing.
"If you shoulder-checked somebody as you're walking down the hall, like what happened to me every day in high school, they would fire you," Meyer said. "You can do other little things to intimidate people and to put them down. It's the thinking that if I put you down that will advance me. In reality, it doesn't work that way."
According to Ackerman, 48 percent of adults say they've been bullied at work. They experience teasing and sarcasm, suffering the consequences of an economic and social power struggle.
"If half the adults are getting bullied, they're passing that down to their kids, who are doing the bullying at school. The 52 percent who are bullying, they're not turning that off when they get home; they're doing that to their kids," Ackerman said. "The kids at schools are doing what they've seen at home at school. It's very cyclical."
Bullying can start sooner than middle or high school. Ackerman has had to be proactive, addressing children as young as 4 or 5 years old.
"I just did a presentation to kindergarteners a couple weeks ago. It was the same message just done a little differently so they could understand it," he said.
Ackerman served as the keynote speaker for two sessions during Thursday's anti-bullying event. In the morning, he and a group of panelists interacted with school officials and community members, answering questions and speaking on the various types of verbal and cyber bullying.
In the evening, Ackerman and others led discussions and exercises on bullying prevention with parents and teenagers.
Ackerman offered a three-step plan for child and adult bullying victims.
"Remove, report and reach," he said. "Remove yourself from the situation as best you can. Even though it's not your fault, remove yourself. Report it to somebody who can be your advocate. Reach and find friends who can help insulate you and help encourage you through it all. I think the same thing can be said for adults."
City of Jamestown Department of Youth Services Director Vickye James and the other organizers of the anti-bullying event stressed the importance of bystanders.
Three types of people live in the bullying realm: bullies, victims and bystanders, who can choose to report or ignore what they see.
"We wanted to make the focus on the 85 percent of kids who just stand by," James said. "Statistics show that when they get involved, 50 percent of the time bullying ceases. Sometimes, they don't know what to do. They want to say something, but they're scared. They just don't know how."
Melanie Witkowski, of Chautauqua Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Council, led an evening role-playing workshop with teens on how to combat bullying. She advised them to use an assertive, not aggressive or passive, tone of voice when confronting an antagonist. Using a confident-looking posture could also help.
"I'm giving them tips on defending them, but still being respectful and polite," she said. "I think it helps to just give them the opportunity to act it out with their eye contact, their body language and their tone of voice. Once they practice it a couple of times, they start to become more comfortable doing it. That's why we think the role-playing is really effective."
Witkowski advises schools and even parents to implement the role-playing method.
The City of Jamestown Youth Services Department, Chautauqua County Youth Bureau, Chautauqua Tapestry, CASAC, The Gateway Center, Jamestown Public Schools and the United Way partnered to make the anti-bullying event happen.
With a positive turnout for Thursday's sessions, James and fellow organizer Patti Yokom, of the Chautauqua County Youth Bureau, would like to make the anti-bullying event an annual Gateway Center function.
"I'm excited. I think this will work," James said. "We had a diversity of school people here." School personnel from Chautauqua County schools and beyond attended the morning session. Yokom, citing recent teen suicides in the county, hopes the work of the various organizations will save lives in the future. However, she doesn't believe bullying will ever come to a total halt.
"As much as we want to protect our kids, it's going to happen. They need the coping skills to deal with the bullying and all kinds of struggles in life," she said. "It's not always easy being an adult or being a kid, but we can teach them it gets easier."

That man's comment expressed no such signs of biggotry. The towers were taken down by Islamic extremists in the name of Allah, and by transitive property, Muhammad. The way Jesus and God are mostly interchangeable in Christianity, I'm sure those two are as well, making his statement theologically, grammatically, and factually correct.

Regardless of the interchangeability, is it interchanged often? Looking at the characters of Christian god and Jesus, I wouldn't think them to be, although they often are.

Band history still to come.
More Reviews Current Updates Print article Rating explanation
Anders presents a voice that could be traced back to the like of Iggy Pop, Lemmy and Jyrki from THE 69 EYES before going full tilt on the Peter Steele Goth style vox. This even has the energy of THE HELLACOPTERS which is also based out of Sweden. What each of their songs have in common is that they are all punchy and catchy 1-2 numbers that get in and out and leave you begging for more.
By the time that BLACKSHINE hits the Goth n' Roll feeling is on track three "Sacrifice". While this does not drone like a typical Goth band with it's slow and eerie keys and haunting melodies, this I would have to say is a faster paced version of SISTERS OF MERCY with the guitar work. The feeling is there, but you have to just hear it for yourself. They don't really lay it on thick here, so you have to pay close attention to the Goth inspiration.
However, these guys still hit you like a ton of bricks with their raw and abrasive guitar jabs and slamming drums. "Choked" is where the Goth vibe really shines. You have to wait for it to really present itself. This time around, you will be really able to notice the Peter Steele/Jyrki styles wrapped around a Punk Rock beat. The best part about this is that Anders and the band have enough talent to be inspired by these bands, but not sound like them for far too long.
There is definitely enough creative juices flowing here to keep you hanging on till the last note of the album. The MOTÖRHEAD/Mickey Dee or Philthy Taylor vibe kicks in on "Light The Fuse" which is very dirty sounding and fast as hell. Goth never sounded more raw or powerful. Rather than pigeon hole this band, let's just say that you get a variety of styles here and they don't go on any major tangents.
They are able to keep it together and the songs intertwine rather nicely. This is an album that can't be ignored. (Online September 11, 2002)

Hey there.
I'm new to the forum and was hoping on benefiting from any advice you guys could share.
I've been following the CC program some time now but am having difficulty with the close squats. I've sprained both ankles in the past multiple times so I find that the required strength and flexibility isn't there. Does anyone know any exercises that can help?
Thanks in advance.
Range of motion exercises with an elastic therapy band are really good (wrap the band around your foot, move it against the resistance. Do this forward, back, right, and left. You can wrap then other end of the band around something and adjust your body position to do this, or you can ask someone else to hold it for back, left, and right). The calf raises are also very good. Don't forget to do lots of balance exercises too. I have sprained each ankle while it was very strong from these types of exercises, but apparently the "sensors" in my ankles that are supposed to coordinate stability just don't work very well so I need to work on those...
Another ankle strengthener I just remembered -- single leg standing, 30 sec per leg. When you can do this easily, start swinging the other (free) leg around (forward/back, sideways in/out, circles in each direction). When both legs are stable with that, go back to just standing for 30 sec - but eyes closed. Advance to movement again, only with eyes closed. All the little stabilizers get worked this way.

- on March 16 2014, 8:21pmGood evening,
I purchased the pack today (in march 2014!) but I've not received any code through my mail yet after 12 hours.
AND I have ALREADY contacted the support department. My question is: how is it supposed to work? Am I supposed to get the code through an email? Or can I get it through my social club messages?
Thanks and regards.
- on August 30 2012, 3:04pmDoes this pack have any single player, I know alot of ppl like MP but theres still half of all Rockstar fans and loyal that started playing when GT first came out and looked like your were 40,000 ft up trying to drive cars and we stayed loyal and its B*llSh*t when we get left out. Rockstar you should take a poll of all your clients and see how many are Single Player, not dissing MP clients as I enjoy it myself. Just wish you would stay loyal to both groups...Please Reply??
- on August 10 2012, 6:16pmApproximately one month ago I bought a Rockstar Pass on the website http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/gb/en/pc/games/action/max-payne-3-rockstar-pass/ - I entered your code, but today I did not get DLC today. I tried to re-enter the code, but it shows me that he is already in use. Forgive me, but you are irresponsible - first delay, and now the problems with Social Rocstar UI and no purchased DLC.
My version of Max Payne 3 is from Steam, but Rockstar bought the www.greenmangaming.com Pass.
Please reply.
- on August 11 2012, 6:00pm@astaldohil I don't have the R* pass, but i bought just the local justice pack when it became available on steam. Steam then downloaded 800 mb as soon as i purchased it.
I launched the game, went to the store, and entered the cd key i got from steam for the dlc. It told me all was good and i needed to restart, as other's are saying.
I tried that like 4 times. Doesn't work. No in game DLC for me either.
Ticket already sent. It seems nearly everyone's DLC is not working. Why is there no offical response to this?

[[caption-width-right:250:Don't worry, the two [[LetsYouAndHimFight become friends later.]][[note]]Left: Kon-El[=/=]Conner Kent. Right: Kal-El[=/=]Clark Kent]][[/note]]
->''"The adventures of Superman when he was a boy!"''
-->--The original ''Superboy'' comic series' {{tagline}}.
'''Clark Kent/Kal-El'''
Originally, when Franchise/{{Superman}} was created in 1938 by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, he was shown as having made his superhero debut as a full-grown adult. Eventually, after rejecting a few proposals for such from Siegel and Shuster, someone at DC decided to create the character of Superboy, [[RetCon Superman's adventures as a youth before becoming Superman]]. This came without input or approval from Siegel (which helped strain the relations between DC and Siegel and Shuster even further). Superboy's first appearance was in ''More Fun Comics'' #101 (January-February, 1945).
As shown, Superboy fought crime in and around his small home town of Smallville, and was raised by his foster parents, Ma and Pa Kent. Like his adult self, he also had a secret identity as Clark Kent. Other supporting characters included his best friend, Pete Ross, who had accidentally found Clark's secret and [[SecretKeeper aided him without his knowledge]]; his female friend next door, Comicbook/LanaLang, who, like ComicBook/LoisLane years later, tried to become Superboy's girlfriend and/or find out his secret identity; Smallville's chief of police, Chief Parker; and [[KryptoTheSuperdog Krypto]], Superboy's pet dog from Krypton.
While some of Smallville's threats came from a rather high number of gangsters and bank robbers, some actual supervillains would also show up, including the Kryptonite Kid and most famously, young ComicBook/LexLuthor (who was initially friends with Superboy; however, a laboratory accident [one that rendered him bald] and a series of disastrous, humiliating attempts to improve Smallville's life with his inventions--requiring Superboy to intervene each time--made him vow that the only way he'd be able to prove his intellectual prowess to the world would be to destroy Superboy... and later, Superman).
In 1958, Superboy was invited by three youths from the 30th century to join their superhero group, the ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}}, whose stories became a recurring feature (before graduating to their own comic) in Superboy and Superman comics.
Various stories would show how Ma and Pa Kent eventually died shortly after Clark's graduation from high school, an event that affected him greatly, along with Superboy attending college and how he changed his name to Superman.
Then came ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' and the subsequent ComicBook/PostCrisis Byrne revamp in 1986, which after 40+ years of existence [[RetGone retconned Superboy out of existence]]. Under Byrne's origin, Superman was once again shown as having started his career as an adult. This caused a ContinuitySnarl with the ''Legion'' comics, which was fixed by stating that a separate Superboy character was created in a "[[AlternateUniverse pocket universe]]" by the Legion villain known as the Time Trapper [[CosmicRetcon just to preserve the Legion's history]]; the Legion was redirected there everytime they traveled to what they thought was Superboy's time. The Pocket Universe became a major recurring storyline for both the Legion and for the Post-Crisis Superman. Pocket Superboy sacrificed himself to save both his universe and the Legion from the Time Trapper. Superman eventually violated ThouShaltNotKill to execute the Pocket Universe equivalents of General Zod [[TerribleTrio and his henchmen]] for killing ''[[ApocalypseHow everyone]]'' on their Earth except for the "Matrix" Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}. Finally, the editors decreed that the Pocket Universe and its Superboy be written out of continuity altogether (in yet another CosmicRetcon).
'''Conner Kent/Kon-El'''
After the early [[TheNineties 1990s]]' ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman'' storyline, a new version of Superboy came into existence--this one an artificially created teenage clone. The character first appeared in ''The Adventures of Superman'' #500 (June, 1993), created by Karl Kesel and Tom Grummett. Exactly who he is a clone of was {{retcon}}ned, but he is currently a combination of Superman and Lex Luthor. This version eventually was befriended by Superman, who gave him an honorary Kryptonian name, "Kon-El." Kon also met and stayed briefly with Ma and Pa Kent (who no longer were dead in Superman's adult years post-Crisis), where he gained an identity of "Conner Kent".
Several alternate versions of Superboy were also seen over the years (including the aforementioned "Pocket Universe" version). The most prominent one is Superboy-Prime, a formerly heroic alternate-Earth Superboy seen in ''Crisis On Infinite Earths'' who reappeared in modern continuity as an EvilTwin of Superman/Superboy. The original Superman-as-a-boy has also been restored to continuity.
In the late 2000s, DC Comics fought a legal battle with the surviving family of Superman's creators over the rights to Superboy, which due to a quirk of copyright law can be reclaimed by them (though a subsequent ruling has stated that DC can claim rights to the concept of Superboy, the teenage clone of Superman even if the Siegel/Shuster estates have rights to the Superman-as-a-boy version of Superboy). The effect of this lawsuit has been that DC refused to use the name "Superboy", so Kon-El died, Superboy-Prime was called "Superman-Prime", and the ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' cartoon stars a "young Superman" rather than Superboy. The lawsuit is not yet over, but currently DC feels it can use the name again, so Kon-El is back, and Superboy-Prime gets to be called that again.
The most recent change in Superboy's status quo came in the aftermath of the CrisisCrossover ''Comicbook/{{Flashpoint}}'', as part of the line-wide reboot known as either "The ComicBook/{{New 52}}" or "[[FanNickname The DCnU]]". Right now, "Superboy" is a biological experiment of the conspiracy known as N.O.W.H.E.R.E, made from Superman's DNA and that of several others, both human and alien. Or so we were told. He is eventually revealed to be a clone of Superman and Lois Lane's child, Jon, from the same future the leader of N.O.W.H.E.R.E. comes from. He is currently being used by them as a living weapon, under the supervision of both "Red", a.k.a. [[ComicBook/{{Gen13}} Dr. Caitlin Fairchild]] (the last survivor of the team of scientists working on him) and Rose Wilson, a young mercenary hired to make sure that he stays under control. This Superboy has Kon-El's tactile telekinesis, but virtually none of the empathy of his earlier incarnation; he just wants to escape N.O.W.H.E.R.E., and he's not picky about what he has to do until he can.
After succeeding in his escape, a stint with the Teen Titans, being attacked by H'el, a jaunt or two through time and fighting his original, Jon Lane-Kent the future son of Lois and Clark, then teaming up with Jon after the latter pulled a HeelFaceTurn to fight a version of Jon that had yet to perform the HeelFaceTurn in a pocket universe that the two of them accidentally created, he's become considerably more heroic.
'''Jonathan Samuel Kent/Jonathan White'''
The son of the Pre-New 52 Superman and Lois Lane, born during the ''ComicBook/{{Convergence}}'' event. Jon is named after the fathers of both his parents' fathers. After the trio escape to the New 52 universe, Jon is raised as a normal boy, unaware of his parents' history or his father's secret activities. Eventually, Jon's Kryptonian powers manifest, just in time for the death of the New 52 Superman. This eventually forces Jon's father into action as Superman, and Jon is taken along for the experience. As part of the ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' line, Jon features in ''Comicbook/SupermanRebirth'' regularly along with his parents and will appear alongside Bruce Wayne's son and current Robin, Damian Wayne in ''Super Sons''.

!!Tropes associated with Superboy
[[folder:Clark Kent/Kal-El]]
* AlreadyMetEveryone: Superboy met the teenaged versions of [[Franchise/GreenLantern Hal Jordan]], [[ComicBook/GreenArrow Oliver Queen]], [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bruce Wayne]], {{ComicBook/Aquaman}}, and [[ComicBook/LoisLane Lois Lane]]. Thanks to time travel, he also met [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} the first Robin]] and [[ComicBook/JimmyOlsen Jimmy Olsen]].
* AlternateUniverse: The post-Crisis Pocket Universe and pre-Crisis Earth-Prime versions of Superboy (both young Clark Kents).
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Comicbook/LoisLane and Comicbook/LanaLang are 2/3rds of this.
* ComicBookTime: The pre-Crisis Superboy's time-era varied over the decades as taking place in the relative past of Superman, and thus the Boy of Steel was shown as operating in TheThirties, TheFifties (largely skipping TheForties), TheSixties, and even TheSeventies (by the end of Superboy's pre-Crisis run/the 1985 "Superman: The Secret Years" miniseries), until being retconned out of existence in the Byrne Superman revamp.
** Following several 2000s storylines that saw his restoration to ComicBook/PostCrisis continuity (though with Superboy now operating mainly in the Legion's era), Superboy/teenage Clark Kent's time-era became TheNineties (skipping TheEighties).
* ContinuitySnarl: Inverted; while removing Superboy from canon after Crisis didn't affect Superman, it did affect the Legion of the Super-Heroes big time.
* DemotedToExtra: The ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}} was the ''cause'' of this for him. They originally appeared as supporting characters in a 1958 Superboy story, then starting in 1962 they appeared as the backup feature in ''Adventure Comics'' where Superboy had been the star since 1946. Within a year they had taken over the comic, reducing Superboy to the back up in what had been ''his'' title, and not long after solo Superboy stories stopped appearing altogether (though he continued to appear as a member of the Legion.) A decade later they repeated the feat when they started appearing in ''Superboy'' as a backup feature, which was renamed ''Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes'' and eventually just ''Legion of Super-Heroes'' as they again took over the comic and Superboy got PutOnABus.
* EscapedAnimalRampage: This happened once due to Superbaby's desire for a pet, as shown on the cover of ''ComicBook/{{Superboy}}'' #130 on [[http://www.superdickery.com Superdickery]] [[http://superdickery.com/images/stories/dick/614_4_130.jpg here]].
* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: Clark Kent, Lana Lang, Pete Ross, and (until his turn to villainy) Lex Luthor all attended Smallville High.
* {{Expy}}: Lana Lang essentially served as a teenaged Expy of ComicBook/LoisLane.
* UsefulNotes/TheInterregnum: Superboy first appeared late in UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks but really hit his peak in TheFifties where he was one of the few superheroes to thrive, holding down two titles when the superhero market generally was at its lowest ebb. Ironically he actually suffered in popularity once the Silver Age dawned and he got DemotedToExtra in the early Seventies thanks to the surge in popularity of ''The Legion of Super-Heroes''.
* JerkJock: Bradley "Bash" Bashford.
* KidAppealCharacter: The reason for his creation.
* KidHero: Of course.
* Letters2Numbers: Superboy does this in order to remove Luthor's fifth dimensional powers (siphoned off of Mr. Mxyzptlk) in ''Superboy'' #131.
* MeaningfulRename: Superboy changed his name to Superman at some point during his college years, with several different stories published explaining how this happened. However, all the versions agree that Clark realized he's not a kid anymore, and felt it was time he had a more adult name.
* MultilayerFacade: In #107, Red Kryptonite makes Clark jealous of himself as Superboy. He proceeds to reveal his superpowers and starts doing his fantastic feats openly. Some out-of-town criminals who arrived in Smallville to kill Superboy with Green Kryptonite learn of this and make plans to strike Clark at his home. Eventually the Red K's effect wears off and Clark proceeds to extricate himself from the crisis [[http://www.supermanfan.net/main/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/showoff-6.jpg via the trope]]. He makes up a story explaining that he knew that the criminals wanted to kill Superboy but didn't know when they'd strike, so he posed as Clark in cooperation with the Kents to force their hand.
* PutOnABus[=/=]RetGone: He was written out of Superman's backstory as of ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths''.
** TheBusCameBack: And brought back following ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''.
* SiliconBasedLife: Superboy had to save a race of silicon-based aliens called the Vulxans in ''The New Adventures of Superboy #7'' (1980).
* SpinoffBabies: Probably the ''first'' example of this, with Superboy first appearing in 1945's ''More Fun Comics'' #101.
* SternTeacher: The [[http://www.dialbforblog.com/archives/309/ "Super-Teacher from Krypton"]], a robot designed by Jor-El to teach Superboy how to use his powers responsibly.
* {{Superdickery}}: A staple. Adventures ranged from Lana Lang constantly getting powers, trying to find out Superboy's identity, or something along the lines of Smallville going through an obesity epidemic due to radioactive milk.
* TheMultiverse: An early 80s story (1981's ''New Adventures of Superboy'' #15-16) saw Superboy accidentally end up on Earth-2 in its early 1930s, where he met the teenaged Clark Kent of Earth-2. Since the Golden Age/Earth-2 Superman didn't have a Superboy career, Clark was merely a youth living on his adoptive parents' farm outside Smallville, though he was still learning about his developing powers.
* TheOnlyOne: Superboy was not only Earth-1's first prominent superhero, but also largely its only one during his day, with other superheroes not appearing until (at earliest) sometime during his college years, when he became Superman. The only other major hero operating during Superboy's time-era was the teenaged {{ComicBook/Aquaman}} (or "Aquaboy").
* TimeTravel: A constant for all Superboys, since the character is closely connected to the ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}}.
** In a story (based on a script from the ''Superboy'' live action TV series that wasn't, [[http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2011/12/23/comic-book-legends-revealed-346/ apparently]]) Superboy flies out into space in order to make a home movie type film to show his friend that the friend's father was a hero during the war. Superboy goes faster than light so he can film the light coming from earth which shows what happened in the past.
[[folder:Conner Kent/Kon-El]]
* AdaptationalBadass: During ''Convergence'', Superboy is placed against ''three'' heroes from the ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'' universe: Red Robin, The Flash, ''and'' Superman. He takes out the former two easily, and all three are arguably superior to their modern versions.
* AllForNothing: Amanda Spence, like most at first, thought that Superboy was the enhanced clone of her father, Dr. Paul Westfield, one of the scientists in charge of the cloning. She then decided to make Superboy's life miserable, feeling he was a disgrace to her father and his memory. This includes creating the more powerful and unstable second clone Match and gruesomely killing Superboy's love interest Tana Moon, a death her family blamed him for. Her vengeance was already badly misguided and hugely disproportionate, but when you add in that Westfield was retconned out as being the clone donor, it makes it this trope big time.
* AlternateUniverse: Kon-El meets and teams up with the Kal-El version Superboy in several post-Crisis storylines, including "ComicBook/ZeroHour" and "Hypertension."
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Tana Moon, before it was revealed that she's native Hawaiian.
* AppropriatedAppellation: In his early appearances, he insisted on being called Super''man''. It wasn't until Superman returned from the dead and told Kon that he'd be honored to let Kon use the name "Superboy" that he started to take to it. And even then, the new Superboy told Big Blue, "When I turn 21... watch out."
* BackFromTheDead: Killed off in ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'', resurrected in ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis: [[ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}} Legion of Three Worlds]]''.
* BlondBrunetteRedhead: He once had a LoveDodecahedron between Tana Moon (brunette), Roxy Leech (blond) and Knockout (redhead).
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: As with his [[{{Superman}} "dad"]], he's a prime target for this trope. Happened to him when he was with the Young Justice as well as another time when Poison Ivy used him for this purpose. His entire purpose for being created by Lex Luthor was to [[spoiler:act as a [[ManchurianAgent sleeper agent]] in the superhero community]], and the Black Lanterns attempted to take control of him again. Fortunately, by this time, Superboy had become GenreSavvy, and trained himself to retain ''some'' measure of control even while brainwashed.
* BroadStrokes: The version of Superboy we see in ''Convergence'' is largely based on the late-90s version where he lived at Cadmus. However, there are a few alterations. Namely, he possesses a smattering of Kryptonian powers that he never possessed during that era (namely, SuperSpeed, XRayVision and [[BreathWeapon Freeze Breath]]. The latter of which was notably the ''last'' Kryptonian power he awakened during the ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' era (which itself came much later). The InfoDump at the end of the book also glosses over exactly whom Superboy is cloned from. While Paul Westfield is mentioned, it's simply stated that he mixed Kryptonian DNA was mixed with human, which is quite different than the original story.
* TheBusCameBack: During 2015's ''ComicBook/{{Convergence}}'' event, this version of Superboy (from the era in which he lived at Cadmus and still wore the original costume, earring and shaved fade) returned as part of a multiversal crossover.
* ChestInsignia: During one storyarc, Supergirl (Matrix) telekinetically ripped it from his chest (without damaging the costume) because he wasn't behaving like someone who deserved to wear it.
* CivvieSpandex: Currently the trope poster boy.
* ClarkKenting: As Conner Kent.
* CloningBlues: He falls into this occasionally, after several years of being TotallyRadical.
* ComicBookTime: One story during ''[[ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman Reign of the Supermen]]'' specifically references UsefulNotes/BillClinton as POTUS. Furthermore, in the time since he was created, babies born within the same month have grown up and become ''legal''.
* CostumeCopycat: Kal-El Superboy initially accuses Kon-El Superboy of such in their ComicBook/ZeroHour crossover meeting in ''Superboy'' #8, before learning the truth about what's going on.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Once he learned that he was made with ComicBook/LexLuthor's DNA, the cocky, brash hero got much angstier.
* EvilKnockoff: Match
* FadSuper: He was created to be a TotallyRadical reimagining of the "kid Superman" concept.
** In his debut, he had a buzzcut fade, a hoop earring, a leather jacket (which nearly every hero had at the time), sunglasses, and a costume that invoked TooManyBelts. He of course, used hip slang and made constant references to pop culture.
** His next costume kept the jacket, earring and shades (although with a new design and color scheme), but his hairstyle was radically changed since a fade had been way past dated by that point. His slang got slightly toned down as well, but was still in use.
** The third costume (which he kept up until the reboot of the ''Comicbook/{{New 52}}'') was an extensive overhaul. It ditched the jacket, skintight costume, earring, shades and TotallyRadical attitude (the CivvieSpandex look took a heavy turn toward "civvie", with a t-shirt and jeans). Instead, he became more dark, brooding, and angsty, which became popular following the late 2000s.
* FunPersonified: Before going DarkerAndEdgier as Conner Kent.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Retconned into this during the ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' run. Originally, it was stated that he was a human clone modified to ''mimic'' Kryptonian genes.
* HateAtFirstSight: In ''Convergence'', this is how the ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'' heroes see him. Where they come from, brash, arrogant young punks are the blight of the world.
* HomosexualReproduction: The comics version is the biological mix of [[FoeYay Superman and Lex Luthor]]. Yeah.
* HeroicBSOD: After Luthor brainwashes him just before ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''.
* HotBlooded: He is described as what happens when you take the power of Superman and give it to someone far less reserved.
* {{Hypocrite}}: In ''Teen Titans'' #100, he came to the conclusion that the only way to deal with the three clones of himself created by Superboy-Prime was to murder them with kryptonite he'd been keeping in his room as a fail safe, despite all the heartache and angst he'd been going through ever since he learned he was cloned from Lex Luthor and fearing that he may have been evil all along.
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Bart to Conner, just before ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'', and then Cassie to Conner, during ''ComicBook/BlackestNight.''
* IntercontinuityCrossover: At the peak of his popularity, Conner was one of the Main Events of ''Marvel Vs DC''. He lost to Spider-man (Ben Reilly).
* KidANova: Girls whom he's dated or have been attracted to him include: Tana Moon, Roxy Leech, Knockout, Sparxx, [[TwinThreesomeFantasy all THREE of]] [[ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}} Triad/Triplicate Girl]]'s [[MesACrowd split selves]], [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl 2000}} Cassandra Cain]], Dr. Sterling Roquette, ComicBook/WonderGirl, [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara-Zor-El]] (Pre-Crisis), [[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice M'gann M'orzz]] (Miss Martian), Lori Luthor, and [[Characters/BatmanRoguesGallery Poison Ivy]].
* KidAppealCharacter: His adventures were largely designed to be a cooler, hipper, HotterAndSexier version of Clark Kent's.
* KissingCousins: This one is complicated. Back when they first met, Kon-El and Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} II/(Matrix) were not related, and Superboy used to hit on Matrix with impunity. He also later enjoyed mutual flirtation with the ''Pre-Crisis'' Kara Zor-El when she was torn from time and space. Most subtext between the two was dropped when it was realized that Superboy is Superman's "offspring", but in the ''ComicBook/BlackestNight'' crossover, a Black-Lantern-ring-possessed Superboy taunts ComicBook/WonderGirl (his girlfriend at the time) by saying that when he's alone, it's his ''"cousin"'' [[ADateWithRosiePalms he fantasizes about]].
** Later on, there was Lori Luthor, who was actually ''disappointed'' that he saw her as a cousin.
* TheLawOfPowerProportionateToEffort: He has PsychicPowers that work both subconsciously and with effort.
** His original abilities were "programmed" to mimic Franchise/{{Superman}}'s as closely as possible, including deflecting bullets and mimicking SuperStrength through {{Telekinesis}}. They turn "off" completely when he's asleep or unconscious, making him as vulnerable as a normal human.
** He eventually takes effort to ''break'' the subconscious "rules' for his power so that he can use them in other ways, such as moving something as large a ship or as light as air vapor with his mind.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: between Kal-El Superboy and Kon-El Superboy in the "ComicBook/ZeroHour" crossover (as this page's picture indicates).
* LuckilyMyPowersWillProtectMe: Hey, has Kon-El mentioned that he has tactile telekinesis? Because he does.
* ManchurianAgent: Part of the arc where he [[spoiler:discovers Lex Luthor shares half of his DNA which enabled Lex to use him via this trope as well as the BrainwashedAndCrazy trope]].
* MixAndMatchMan: Conner is a clone of both {{Superman}} and ComicBook/LexLuthor.
* MustNotDieAVirgin: Conner and Cassandra's last night together before the conclusion of ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''. Also counts as TheirFirstTime.
* NatureVersusNurture: During his DarkerAndEdgier years, he's all about this trope. In the earliest years, his "daddy" was Paul Westfield and later, it was {{retcon}}ned to be ComicBook/LexLuthor instead. Neither of them are very nice people. So, Superboy constantly questions whether he was destined to become good or evil based on the genes provided by Superman or his human father.
* OnlySaneMan: In ''Convergence: Superboy #1'', Dubbilex narrates that Superboy is the only person in the [[CityInABottle domed Metropolis]] who hasn't moved on and accepted their new life.
* PretenderDiss: Constantly on the receiving end of this from anyone who knows or knew of Superman. The worry of not living up to the name is Conner's biggest fear.
* RhymesOnADime: Supporting character Roxy Leech had a friend with the appropriate name of The Poet.
* StuffedIntoTheFridge: Tana Moon during the ''Sins of Youth'' storyline.
* SuperPoweredDate: He's done this numerous times. Most notably for Cassandra Cain (where he built a castle in the sky made out of clouds), and Cassie Sandsmark, where he levitated a picnic bench during a romantic dinner.
* TotallyRadical: He started out like this, before he was retooled to becoming Mr. CloningBlues
* TemporalMutability: Continuity seems to place it somewhere between Types I - IV. The modern Superboy [[spoiler:technically became a ''time traveler'', every bit as out of place in this era as Booster Gold. His "current" self is still a corpse, slowly recovering within the Fortress of Solitude. Kon-El is careful not to disturb the body resting there, as he isn't quite sure what will happen to himself if he does. Other than that, though, the DC universe's rules on time travel are malleable enough to allow Conner to exist in the present without worrying too much about screwing up the timestream.]]
* TimeTravel: Like Kal-El, Conner has had many adventures with the Legion of Super-Heroes.
* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: He once tussled with Spider-man (Ben Reilly) during the ''Marvel Vs DC'' event.
* YouAreNumberSix: Conner Kent was designated "S-13" at Cadmus, in relation to being the thirteenth (and only successful) clone of Superman.
[[folder:Superboy, New 52]]
* AmazonianBeauty:
** Dr. Caitlin Fairchild, who is drawn with far more muscular frame than back in her ComicBook/{{Gen 13}} days.
** The unnamed female antagonist in Issue #3 also counts.
* AntiHero: Of the NominalHero kind. This version of Superboy has no interest in heroics beyond what it takes to survive/gain his freedom. Between the first and second issues, he kills many of his captors by reflex and feels no remorse or guilt, tortures a group of soldiers who hold him at gunpoint, and flat out threatens to kill anyone who stands in his way.
** Issue #4 seems to be steering him towards being a KnightInSourArmor.
** While he still has his issues, he quickly becomes a full blown hero.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: He taught himself to talk and communicate by watching others do it.
* BaldOfEvil: Depending on how you view his "anti-hero" antics, Superboy is this when fresh out of the test tube.
* BecomeARealBoy: His character development seems to be headed in this direction. In fact, he uses these exact words in issue #6.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Superboy and Rose Wilson
** The fight between Superboy and ComicBook/WonderGirl in ''Comicbook/TeenTitans'' is even more blatant. All the two talk about is how cute they find each other while trying to smear their faces into the sidewalk.
* BizarreAlienBiology: In addition to the Kryptonian side of his DNA, Superboy states that his "brain" is, in fact, every single atom of his body.
* BloodKnight: Rose Wilson
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Superboy sometimes has trouble understanding moral issues, as he hasn't really had much time to learn about it. He honestly doesn't understand why [[spoiler:robbing a bank]] gets him complaints.
** He's been getting better about it.
* BoisterousBruiser: Superboy, definitely. Rose Wilson even moreso.
* BullyingADragon: How most N.O.W.H.E.R.E. staff and mooks treat Superboy.
* CloningBlues: The ComicBook/{{New 52}} version of ''Comicbook/{{Superboy}}''. Even more so than his pre-Flashpoint incarnation. Supergirl and H'el treat him like a monster at first because of a clone rebellion in Krypton's past. The name "Kon-El" is Kryptonian for "abomination of the house of El". [[spoiler:The only reason he even exists is because Harvest wanted a guinea pig he could experiment on to find a cure for his "son's" (Jonathan Kent, the future son of Superman and Lois Lane) genetic problems. Having apparently done so, Harvest now wants Superboy dead.]]
** Unlike H'El, Supergirl got over her hatred, and she even defended him during the storyline "Crucible".
* ConsummateLiar: Zaniel Templar. Superboy acknowledges it, but knows he has to play along.
* DidntSeeThatComing: [[spoiler:See "NeckLift" below.]]
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Becomes a source of angst when he realizes that he can't be around ordinary people without killing them.
* {{Expy}}: While not technically an expy, this version of Superboy has attitudes more in line and a temperament much closer to the Conner Kent shown in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice,'' especially in his willingness to use overwhelming force and temper control issues, though his tendency to kill and torture is unique (and in any case it goes away fairly quickly).
* FakingAmnesia: Superboy's cover story in the "small town" simulation.
* FalseFlagOperation: Templar arranged for one of N.O.W.H.E.R.E.'s own bases to be attacked in order to set up his agenda.
* FieryRedhead: Dr. Caitlin Fairchild. Aka, "Red".
* FunWithAcronyms: There has been no indication as to what N.O.W.H.E.R.E. stands for.
* FutureSpandex: N.O.W.H.E.R.E.'s uniforms, and Superboy's "Containment Suit".
* HiredGuns: Rose Wilson
* InTheBlood: Superboy's instinctual affection for farms in rural Kansas.
** Accompanied by him completely ignoring someone in a burning building. Red wonders if this means that he has a "[[ComicBook/LexLuthor Deeply pathological, megalomaniacal narcissist, the likes of which the world has never known]]" as a donor. It was, however, revealed that Superboy was aware that the people in the fire were just part of a simulation, and he was giving them the same concern that [[VideogameCrueltyPotential most people give random NPCs.]] [[spoiler:Lex Luthor isn't his donor, as he is actually a clone of Superman and Lois Lane's future child.]]
** On a physical level, he looks ''exactly'' like a young Superman.
* LackOfEmpathy: Superboy, at first. Although in issue #6, he suspects that he's starting to feel a spark of it. By the time his series gets into the twenties, he's got it.
* MindScrew: the series is perfectly straight forward at first, but the introduction of [[spoiler: Jon Lane Kent, the two Superboys switching costumes and being mistaken for one another and a considerable amount of time travel]] has led to even other characters being confused.
* MixAndMatchMan: It's implied that ''this'' version of Superboy isn't just Kryptonian and human, but a ''mix'' of other alien species.
** [[spoiler:He's eventually revealed to be a clone of Superman and Lois Lane's future child, Jon.]]
* MoralityChain: Fairchild acts as this for Superboy early on. In fact, she insists on it.
* MythologyGag: [[spoiler: Jon Lane Kent, the son of Superman and Lois from a possible future and template for Superboy, wears a costume that looks a lot like the 90s Superboy costume]].
** Adding on to that, [[spoiler: Superboy's status as an opposite morality clone of another Superboy makes him the Nu52 version of [[EvilKnockoff Match]]. Jon Kent and the Post-Crisis Superboy were emotional and extroverted teenagers, while Match and Nu52 Superboy are their stoic and technically superior clones. Jon Kent was even mentioned as having genetic issues, a common problem for the first version of Kon-El.]]
* TheNeedless: Superboy states that he doesn't need to eat or sleep.
* OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: N.O.W.H.E.R.E.
* OutlawCouple: The young couple that appear in issue 3.
* NeckLift: [[spoiler:Fairchild surprises Superboy with on of these when she [[TheReveal Reveals]] her powers for the first time.]]
* OnlySaneWoman: Dr. Caitlin Fairchild, the only one who bothers trying to treat Superboy like he's not a thing.
* PsychicPowers
** {{Telepathy}}: though it takes him quite a while to realise that he actually has this.
** {{Telekinesis}}
** {{Flight}}
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Used at first to help differentiate him from Superman. In the new DC universe it was intended to make him look sinister in comparison to the Comicbook/TeenTitans, but since they also wore a lot of red and black - to the point where if you take away the wings and domino mask and S-shield respectively, it can be quite hard to tell Superboy and Red Robin apart - it didn't really work.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When using his telekinetic abilities.
* ReluctantMadScientist: Dr. Caitlin Fairchild
* ReverseMole: Umber, who is a spy for Lois Lane.
* SimulatedUrbanCombatArea: Where Superboy spends the majority of his time after being released from the tank.
* TheStoic: Superboy. He's largely introspective and calmly rationalizes everything around him.
** NotSoStoic: When he starts getting a no-holds-barred beatdown in issue #2.
* TimeyWimeyBall: Thanks to this, Kon's pretty much become a one man [[TangledFamilyTree Grey-Summers family]]. After sort-of dying, he teamed up with [[spoiler:the original he's cloned from, who had pulled a HeelFaceTurn, after accidentally merging with that original in order to fight a past version of his original who hasn't yet pulled a HeelFaceTurn, then that original seemed to die, which altered the fight with his past self, somehow bringing Kon back to life.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: though it takes him a while, he becomes much, much nicer as time goes by and much more heroic.
** [[spoiler: The same thing happens to Jon]].
* VitriolicBestFriends: Turns out that Rose and Fairchild are this, to the point that Fairchild left something behind for Rose to find if anything happened to her.
* WatchingTheReflectionUndress: A superpowered variation occurs in ''[=Superboy=]'' #10: Superboy calls out that he's started their campfire, but when she doesn't answer, he searches and is stunned to walk in on Wonder Girl (Cassandra Sandsmark) bathing in a lake. Wonder Girl angrily calls him a pervert and tells him to turn around. Superboy turns around, but puts his hand on the ground and smiles. Wonder Girl remembers that he can "see" through what he is touching and angrily throws a rock at the back of his head to get him to cut it out.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Only "Red" thinks of Superboy (who is half-alien ''and'' a clone) as a human. (Although Rose may have a soft spot for him, too.)
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Rose Wilson has beautiful white hair, but is an unrepentant ProfessionalKiller and BloodKnight.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Harvest wants him dead for this reason.]]
[[folder:Jonathan Kent]]
* BadassAdorable: Being the youngest incarnation of the titleholder, this shouldn't come as a surprise. [[spoiler: He helped his dad punch out the Eradicator and fought alongside his Mom when Clark was sucked in.]]
* CheerfulChild: Much like any other child raised in a loving household at his age.
* ClarkKenting: At the end of the first ''Superman'' storyline, Jonathan is given glasses like his father. Jon isn't happy that he has to wear them, but Clark tells him that they work surprisingly well.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Shares his father's icy blue eyes and remains cheerful as ever amidst things that would traumatize any other child.
* KeepingSecretsSucks: Jon hates the fact that he has to hide everything about him and wants to tell the world everything. Lois and Clark have to keep him tempered from this sort of idea.
* LegacyCharacter: As of ''Superman Rebirth #6'', Jonathan has officially claimed the "Superboy" title and the S-shield worn by his father and his cousin Kara (better known as ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'').
* PowerIncontinence: Jon is still growing in his powers, so they tend to fluctuate in and out in how strong they are and if they work at all. One moment he can lift a car above his head, the next he's scraping his knee on the sidewalk.
** On one occasion, [[https://youtu.be/e3f2J1qdK74?t=131 he accidentally used his heat vision while trying to use X-Ray Vision to see who the unexpected visitors were]], blasting straight through the door and sending both Wonder Woman and Batman flying backwards. Bruce would have had a hole punched through him if it weren't for Diana's quick thinking.
* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: Played with. Jon's powers are most likely to work when he's emotionally charged, but they continue to fluctuate in and out when he least expects it and he has yet to achieve full control over it despite being kidnapped by Intergang, accidentally frying his pet cat Goldie to death with heat vision, nearly having half his genome sucked out by the Eradicator, watching his Dad and Krypto get sucked into the Eradicator.

Visakhapatnam: With the first unofficial Test match losing a day to rain, India A and New Zealand A will hope the second and final match at the Port Trust Diamond Jubilee Stadium stays free of the elements so a series result can be attained. Results are tough to come by in three-day fixtures and so taking wickets is the priority for both teams and on the basis of the first match in Visakhapatnam, its India A who appear to have the upper hand.
The hosts can claim to have gained the edge in the draw due to two factors: one, they bowled New Zealand A out and had their batsmen in all sorts of problems, and two, that two of their batsmen scored fine centuries. Eight of the New Zealand wickets to fall were to slow bowling, with Madhya Pradesh offspinner Jalaj Saxena taking 6 for 106 to improve on his previous A-level best of 4 for 61 against the touring Australians in February. Saxena triggered a collapse from 46 for 1 to 55 for 4 with three wickets in three overs.
As he told Cricketnext though, India A should have bowled out the opposition for far less while getting Ronchi cheaply if not for a slew of dropped catches. Had they been held, Saxena stressed, then Ronchi would not have scored a hundred and perhaps there could have been a result. Thus, India A will focus on shaping up in the field considering the chances of victory remain slim in three-day matches.
There are fewer concerns with the batting, though former Under-19 captain Unmukt Chand would love runs under his belt after making 4 in the first Test. Opener Jiwanjot Singh - who on first-class debut during the 2012-13 Ranji Trophy season cracked a double-century - marked his first India A appearance with a solid 48 until he threw it away with a loose drive, and considering his tenacity for big scores you can expect the youngster to dig in his heels in the second match. Gujarat's Manprit Juneja - who like Jiwanjot marked his first-class debut with a double - was another who got a start (43) before falling.
The two success stories from the India A innings were 18-year-old Vijay Zol, who on Friday scored a century on first-class debut and Nayar, the captain, who crashed 14 fours and a six in his bullish 102*. If these forces combine again, and India A bat first, New Zealand A could be in for a tough time.
The tourists owed plenty to Ronchi's stroke-filled ton but barring Todd Astle's 157-ball 63 that helped the former Australia wicketkeeper add 146 for the seventh wicket, there was little New Zealand A could take satisfaction from. The top four batsmen made 40 runs between them as New Zealand's weakness against spin came to the fore, even on a good batting deck. Skipper Tom Latham made 15 before he poked Saxena to silly point; Daryl Mitchell edged his first ball faced, a flatter delivery, to first slip; Carl Cachopa (15) was foxed in the air and stumped. Jimmy Neesham made 27 to provide some resistance but Derek de Boorder's 0 was further proof of the batting fragility. New Zealand A needed some generosity from India's fielders and Ronchi's experience to get a respectable total on board, but will hope the top four stand up this time.
New Zealand A will be disappointed with their bowling performance too, in particular the efforts of Test players Mark Gillespie (wicketless in 17 overs) and Doug Bracewell (1 for 48 in 15). Astle was the best with 3 for 106 but conceded runs at 5.88 an over, while legspinner Ish Sodhi went at 4.19 and neither of his wickets owed to exceptional deliveries. With Bracewell looking to reclaim his Test spot, and Gillespie, at 33, still hoping to add to his five Test caps, the two experienced quicks will have to be better.
India A fielded three spinners - Rakesh Dhruv and Sarabjit Ladda were the other two - and once again it will be the slow bowlers who the New Zealanders will have to counter.
Probable XIs
India A: 1 Jiwanjot Singh, 2 Unmukt Chand, 3 Vijay Zol, 4 Manprit Juneja, 5 Abhishek Nayar (capt), 6 CM Gautam (wk), 7 Jalaj Saxena, 8 Sarabjit Ladda, 9 Dhawal Kulkarni, 10 Aniket Choudhary/Imtiaz Ahmed, 11 Rakesh Dhurv
New Zealand A: 1 Tom Latham (capt), 2 Neil Broom, 3 Carl Cachopa, 4 Daryl Mitchell, 5 Luke Ronchi, 6 Jimmy Neesham, 7 Derek de Boorder (wk), 8 Todd Astle, 9 Doug Bracewell, 10 Ish Sodhi, 11 Mark Gillespie

PHILADELPHIA — Over the past calendar year, the Eagles have played eight games at Lincoln Financial Field.
They've played Monday nights; they've played Thursday nights. They've played early Sunday games and late Sunday games.
They have lost on field goals in the final seconds, and field goals in overtime. They have lost by a touchdown or less three times and have been blown out twice. They have lost to a former head coach, Andy Reid, and a former assistant coach, Ron Rivera.
What they haven't done is win.
The Eagles embark on a three-game road trip that takes them to Denver Sunday, to the Meadowlands next week to face the Giants and then down to Tampa Bay to meet the Bucs. When they finally return home to host Dallas Oct. 20, the streak will have reached its 53rd week.
Not since Sept. 30, 2012, when the Eagles squeaked out a 19-17 win over the Giants and failed to cover the 2½-point spread, has the home team been able to celebrate at the Linc.
The eight-game home losing streak is the longest in franchise history.
Over the 1936-37-38 seasons, the team went 11 home games without a win but had a 6-6 tie with the Chicago Cardinals in the middle of losses to teams such as the Boston Redskins, Brooklyn Dodgers and Cleveland Rams. They also played a neutral site game against Pittsburgh in Johnstown, Pa., and lost.
Also over the 1972-73 seasons, the team went nine home games without a win but again had a 6-6 tie with the St. Louis Cardinals to break up the losing.
Just so you know, the Eagles do play the Arizona Cardinals this year at home.
Through all the bad years, this franchise has endured (from Joe Kuharich to Rich Kotite), it had never lost eight straight home games.
Until now.
"It's always frustrating to lose," quarterback Mike Vick said after the eighth straight loss last Thursday against Reid and Kansas City. "It's even more frustrating when you lose at home. Those are the games you're supposed to win."
The Eagles have found all kinds of ways not to win, starting with the 26-23 overtime loss to the Detroit Lions Oct. 14 of last year.
In that one, the Eagles held a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter — twice. The Lions came back and scored the final 13 points of the game, the final three in overtime. And the streak had begun.
After a bye week, the Eagles came back home and lost to Atlanta, 30-17. It was the first time in Reid's 14 years as head coach that he lost a regular-season game after a bye week.
The Eagles wouldn't win at home the rest of the 2012 season, losing in order to Dallas, Carolina on Monday Night Football, Cincinnati on Thursday Night Football and Washington.
This year, with a new head coach in Chip Kelly, a new up-tempo offense, a new 3-4 base defense and 23 new players, it hasn't changed.
The Eagles lost their home opener for the fourth time in five years, this time to San Diego, and then lost last Thursday night to Kansas City as the streak continued.
Is eight enough?
"I hope so," veteran guard Todd Herremans said. "It's especially tough to lose at home. We were always a good home team. We have a great place to play; we have great fans. You couldn't ask for more from them. They give us great energy. We just can't seem to get a win."
In the first two years at Lincoln Financial Field (2003 and 2004), the Eagles were 14-5 at home, including playoff games after going 19-9 the final three years at Veterans Stadium. That's a winning percentage of over 70 percent.
In the eight years since (from 2005 to today), the Eagles are just 34-34 at home, a record of an even .500.
"We have to get back on track," Herremans said. "We're away (for the three games). When we get back, hopefully we can change it around."
• The Eagles signed rookie wide receiver Will Murphy to the practice squad and released offensive lineman Isaac Remington from the practice squad. Murphy caught three passes for 26 yards during the preseason after being signed as a rookie free agent from Oregon.

Just after 7:34 p.m. on Dec. 5, Patrick can be seen getting out of a sedan on West Michigan Avenue and then promptly walking through the main entrance of the downtown Kalamazoo hotel.
Once inside, Patrick approaches the front desk with what appears to be cash in her hand and proceeds to carry on a conversation with a concierge for 14 minutes.
At one point when the concierge leaves the desk for several minutes, Patrick stands by the desk appearing to be relaxed, at one point flipping through a pamphlet.
The surveillance footage does not contain audio.
The footage shows Patrick wasn't able to book a room. Her parents, Irene and Mattahais Patrick, said their daughter wasn't able to get a room because she didn't have enough money.
Her purse and her cell phone were later found at Borgess Medical Center, where she worked. Patrick, 30, is a first-year medical resident in psychiatry in the Western Michigan University School of Medicine.
After Patrick's conversation with the concierge, she appears to wave goodbye to him and then she walks out of the camera's view at about 7:49 p.m.
Just after 7:52 p.m., a camera on the hotel's exterior shows Patrick boarding a hotel courtesy shuttle, which Kalamazoo County sheriff's investigators have said dropped her off at her car at about 8 p.m. in the parking lot of Borgess Medical Center.
In all, the videos comprise a little more than 15 minutes of Patrick's activities at the Radisson on Dec. 5, and presumably could be the last footage of her before she disappeared that night.

A little more than two hours after she was dropped off at Borgess by the hotel shuttle, Patrick's gold 1997 Lexus ES300 was found abandoned in a ditch on westbound I-94 near Portage, Ind.
Indiana State Police have said no keys were found inside the car. Police have searched the area near the Porter/Burns Harbor exit on I-94 several times but have not found Patrick.
In an interview Wednesday, Patrick's parents, Irene and Mattahais Patrick, and her sister, Tenesha Patrick, said Patrick's cellphone and purse were found at Borgess after she was reported missing on Dec. 6.
The report of Patrick being missing came after she failed to show up for work that morning at Borgess.
Patrick's parents said their daughter completed a shift at Borgess on Dec. 5 and received a ride to the Radisson from a fellow medical resident. What remains a mystery, they said, is why she tried to get a room at the hotel when she apartment not far from Borgess.
Patrick came to Kalamazoo this past summer to begin her first of four years as a medical resident in psychiatry. She graduated from Loma Linda University School of Medicine in California this past spring after obtaining her medical degree and a P.h.D. in biochemistry, her parents said.
State Police in Indiana have been assisting the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office in its investigation of Patrick's disappearance.
On Wednesday, Patrick's parents said sheriff's detectives searched their daughter's apartment at Gull Run Apartments and seized two laptop computers.
The couple, who reside in Florida, also said that they spoke with officials from the WMU School of Medicine following their daughter's disappearance who told them of a cellphone call Patrick received while in a lecture on Dec. 4.
The Patrick's said a person in the class who saw Patrick receive the call noted a change in her demeanor after she ended the phone call.
Investigators ask anyone with information about Patrick's whereabouts to call the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office at 269-383-8748, Indiana State Police at 219-696-6242, or contact Silent Observer at 269-343-2100 or www.kalamazoosilentobserver.com.
