Superboy was a clone created by Cadmus to replace Superman after his death.

History

Shortly after going public following Superman's death, Superboy, assisted Lois Lane in stopping crime to fill the Man of Steel's absence. However, Superboy was quickly killed by Cyborg Superman with a beam of heat vision so strong that it burned off his head. Lois Lane immediately avenged Superboy by killing Cyborg Superman.

Weaknesses

• Kryptonian Physiology: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Superboy possesses the same potential weaknesses as an average Kryptonian. These include:
  • Vulnerability to Kryptonite
  • Vulnerability to Magic

• Vulnerability to Red Sun Radiation: The damage from the Red Sun seems to be less effective on him than the full Kryptonians.
• Yellow Sun Processing: Because Superboy absorbed less solar energy than Superman as an adult, Superboy was unable to process as much yellow sun energy as Superman could; as a result, overexerting his powers could spell his death, as his body would literally begin to feed on itself, unable to absorb solar energy fast enough to restore itself.
