Superboy


In this new timeline, details of Superboy's origins have changed and he is shown to once again be grown from the DNA of Superman and Lex Luthor, however this time it is not Cadmus that creates him but N.O.W.H.E.R.E.; an organization which threatens the lives of teen heroes and has a wide array of unforeseen plans. He is awakened by his caretaker and pseudo-mother Caitlin Fairchild who was on the team to allow for his cloning and birthing process.

He is continually tested by N.O.W.H.E.R.E. under orders by Zaniel Templar and supervised by Rose Wilson, Doctor Umber and Doctor White. His first field mission is to infiltrate an alien prison designated as Pen 51, where he loses control of his telekinetic powers and is first separated from N.O.W.H.E.R.E. Upon reaching the surface he is attacked by another alien from Pen 51 who reveals that Superboy is both Kryptonian and human. After a skirmish with Caitlin Fairchild, Superboy knocks her unconscious and is greeted by Centerhall who thanks him for revealing her to be a metahuman terrorist. Centerhall then tells a surprised Superboy he's free to come and go as he pleases, but asks that Superboy considers returning to help N.O.W.H.E.R.E. put a stop to dangerous metahumans.

After seven days of freedom, Superboy feels his first compulsion towards heroics when he witnesses a man falling from a skyscraper in New York City. After rescuing him, the man tells Superboy that a metahuman couple just killed all the guests at the restaurant he works in. Superboy apprehends the couple and calls Centerhall to retrieve them, where Superboy agrees to rejoin N.O.W.H.E.R.E., just in time to hear Wonder Girl is on her way to New York.

After freeing Caitlin Fairchild while in disguise, Superboy prepares for battle against the Teen Titans. After taking Wonder Girl and the other Teen Titans down Superboy realizes that he was in fact created as a weapon and was being wielded by N.O.W.H.E.R.E. As he leaves the battlefield Superboy encounters Supergirl who communicates to him images of Krypton and its destruction, inadvertently teaching him the Kryptonian language in the process. After telling her he is a clone Supergirl ruthlessly attacks him until Superboy blasts her with telekinesis. Her surprise leads her to explain that he is Kon-El, "an abomination in the House of El," and that such clones are destined to become mindless killing machines. She then flies away without further explanation.

Superboy returns once again to N.O.W.H.E.R.E. and defeats Centerhall on his way to the lab where he was created. There he finds evidence that he is the second clone made by N.O.W.H.E.R.E. and is attacked by Rose Wilson. The attack reveals his seeming immunity to Kryptonite, until Rose stabs him through the stomach and captures him for Zaniel Templar.

The Culling
After a failed rescue attempt by the Teen Titans, Superboy is forced to train for the Culling with a metahuman called Grunge. At this moment Superboy realizes that Grunge, Caitlin Fairchild and the other Ravagers all share a common immunity to his telekinesis. After having both his arms broken Superboy defeats Grunge by ripping out his implants, but falls unconscious due to his wounds.

When he wakes up, Superboy finds himself in The Colony faced with Beast Boy and Terra. After being convinced to join the Teen Titans in their battle to defeat Harvest, he and the other Titans team up with the time-stranded portion of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Harvest then sends the Ravagers to finish off the young heroes. Superboy singles out Warblade as their leader and attempts to take him down alone. Warblade's immunity to telekinesis and seemingly indestructible armor prevent Superboy from gaining the upper hand until Dawnstar intervenes. Superboy witnesses the death of many teenage metahumans, and after finally defeating Warblade stands with the Teen Titans and Legion of Super-Heroes as Harvest descends upon the battlefield.

H'El on Earth
While he is on a walk with Miguel, he is attacked by H'El because he is a clone. Even with the help of the Teen Titans, he lost the fight and got abducted. H'El brought Superboy to Supergirl to serve as proof to his loyalty towards Krypton. His life ended up into the hands of Supergirl when H'El asks the female Kryptonian if they should end his life, in which Supergirl answered not to do it yet.

Superboy was then brought to Superman for the same reason he was brought to Supergirl. When H'El was about to snap his neck, Superman interfered and saved him.Superboy tried to help Superman fight H'El to no avail and he ended up getting badly injured.

After H'El left, Superboy was brought to the Fortress of Solitude by Superman to try and save his life. Superman found out that he have three strands of DNA as opposed to the usual two. Two of them were identified, which are Human and Kryptonian, but the third one cannot be classified. To stop the genetic meltdown, Superman put his Kryptonian battle armor on Superboy. It worked but it caused Superboy's telekinesis to concentrate and condense, limiting his power to the things he touches. It also confirmed that Superboy is indeed a clone of Superman because the symbol of the House of El stayed. While discussing their move against H'El, the villain appeared inside the fortress of solitude and kicked them out.
