Jonathan Kent, also known as Superboy, is the eleven-year-old son of Superman and Lois Lane.
History
Clark Kent and Lois Lane married and had a son named Jonathan Kent, named after his adoptive grandfather.
Living in Smallville, Jon is frustrated by his father's frequent absences, not yet knowing that he is Superman. On his birthday, he was disappointed that his father did not attend his baseball game, and later develops heat vision. Clark reveals to his son that he is Superman and takes Jon to Gotham City to see Batman. There he meets Batman's son, Damian Wayne, also known as Robin, who was initially rude to him, and when he almost killed him to see if he could fly.
The next day at school, Jon wearing a Superman costume from his birthday gift, receives ridicule from his classmate and bully Melvin, causing Jon to push him away with super strength, impressing everyone. After fighting, Jon is scolded by the director, when he sees Damian arrive, who informs him that his parents and everyone are in danger from an attack by alien stars. When they are chased by the infected Lois, they manage to escape with Jon using his heat vision, shooting the spore controlling his mother and freeing her from its control. They head to Superman's Fortress of Solitude, but are attacked by Krypto the Superdog, before being stopped by a holographic copy of the consciousness of Jor-El, Kal-El's father and Jon's biological grandfather. Using Kryptonian technology, they analyze a sample of a spore and Jor-El explains that it is from an alien called Starro, capable of reproducing thousands of them and taking control of a planet. Jon and Damian realize that Starro is in the Watchtower and if they eliminate him, he will free everyone under his control.
Jon and Damian travel to the Watchtower on the ship that brought Kal-El to Earth. At the Watchtower, they are stopped by members of the Justice League and the Teen Titans possessed. Starro explains that he intends to drain the Earth after securing control of everyone. When Damian is nearly felled by an arrow fired by the possessed Green Arrow, Jon jumps in front of her and sees that she is arrow-proof. Fighting the possessed heroes, Jon sees his mother Lois speaking to him from President Lex Luthor's office, discovering that Starro is vulnerable to heat. After defeating the possessed heroes, their possessed parents also appear and fight against them, managing to defeat them as well. The kids then decide to take the Watchtower out of orbit in the hopes that Starro will burn with it upon re-entering the sphere.
After evacuating all the heroes on a spaceship back to Earth including their parents, they set the Watchtower on a re-entry course, but are attacked by Starro, grabbing Damian but Jon saves him, but Starro is eventually burned when the Watchtower It begins to burn upon re-entry, causing all the spores on Earth to die, freeing everyone from its control. Unable to escape the Watchtower, Damian and Jon admit that they respect each other. However, they are saved by Superman now freed from Starro, intercepting the falling Watchtower and rescuing Jon and Damian. Starro survives the fall to Earth, where he is defeated by Jon, Damian, Batman and Superman working together.
Then, Jon starts playing baseball again with his mother, Damian and Bruce present, and finally his father. Jon and Damian discuss a name for themselves before deciding to call themselves Super Sons, before being pulled again by Damian seeing that he still doesn't know how to fly.
