Conner "Kon" Kent, also known as Superboy is one of the tritagonists of DC Universe original series Titans. He was created by Cadmus labs as a clone of Superman and Lex Luthor, and after escaping befriended and joined the Titans.
He is portrayed by Brooker Muir in season one, and by Joshua Orpin in season two onwards.
Overview[]
After being created at Cadmus Laboratories by Eve Watson at the request of Lex Luthor, Conner broke free after hearing the pained cries of Krypto. He and the dog escaped the labs and went on the run, trying to learn where they came from. Conner met his 'grandfather' Lionel Luthor and eventually met back up with Eve, whom he wanted to be allowed to call "mom" but she said not to. After being chased across the country by Cadmus and Mercy Graves, Conner rescued Jason Todd after he was thrown from a building and immediately passed out. With Kory's help and Eve's knowledge of Kryptonian care he was able to be cured of his poisoning, gained while he was fleeing Cadmus, and fell into a coma. When he woke from his coma he met and became friends with Gar Logan, who had been charged with caring for him while the rest of the Titans left. Conner and Gar were kidnapped and brainwashed into weapons by Cadmus after Mercy Graves threatened Gar's life in exchange for Conner's cooperation. In their brainwashed states they fought and Conner faced off against the Titans. Rachel was able to psychically free Conner and Gar from what Cadmus had done to them, and Conner joined the Titans.
Conner went with the Titans to Gotham City to grieve Jason Todd after his murder and while there met and fell in love with Blackfire, also known as Komand'r, Kory's younger sister who had come to Earth after killing her parents. After defeating Scarecrow and Red Hood, Conner parted ways with Blackfire and accompanied the Titans, now with Tim Drake on their team, to Metropolis where Conner hoped to meet Clark Kent. Conner was disappointed when Clark couldn't make the meeting, having been called away to handle a disaster in another solar system, but met his other father Lex Luthor instead who shockingly died during their first meeting due to the magic of May Bennett, aka Mother Mayhem. Conner swore revenge against her and after suffering a curse at her hands that nearly cost him his life and that of Gar's, Conner shaved his head and began to behave more like Lex, even insisting on being called Mr.Luthor instead.
