    Ok I have some questions about Superboy (Kon-el). 1.) How old is he?..... 2.) When he gets older will he be as strong as Superman? Because I hered that when he dose grow up he will have powers that Superman dosent. Is that true? Plus is he still with Wonder Girl?

    1) I'm not really sure what you mean by the question. How long he's been around in comics, his age in comics? He was created in 1993, and he's around 16 (I guess).  
    2) Theoretically he should, even though he's only half-Kryptonian. When he appeared in Titans Tomorrow he had the advantage of the TK field as well, so he may be even more durable.  
    3) They'll probably address that sometime later in Teen Titans.

    @Husk45: I'm just guessing. He died during Infinite Crisis and got resurrected during Legion of Three Worlds, so he never aged over that time. And I'm sure he was underage during the whole "OMG I can't believe Superboy and Wonder Girl did it" thing right before Infinite Crisis, and that was why people were upset in the first place.

    @Husk45:  his age was addressed in another thread, he's 18, as for his powers in the futuer it was showen that he will have full telekinesis + all of the regular Kyptonian powers, but in tearms of power since he is half human some people believe that he'll only be as half as powerful as Superman but considering that he holds back a great deal thats still pretty powerful and he would also be holding back. As for him and Wonder Girl in the recent issue of Teen Titans it was shown that their relation ship is rocky at the moment, and then their was the lmage in the origins and omens back-up of Wonder Girl kissing the Beetle.

    i was under the impression that , like supes, his powers will never stop growing, even only if that is only barely so. it depends on his proximity and capacity to solar radiation, as well as how long he lives.

    @Primmaster64:  Well only him and Chris have tactile TK and his will develop into full TK as he ages. but i think those two have it as compensation for their kryptonian powers being weaker from being in the phantom zone for Chris and for Connor he didn't have any powers to start out with except his TK, until his Kryptonian powers started to mainfest when he joined the Titans. sort of like how a blind persons senses are incresed, their compensating for the loss of sight

    i think it was said he was 18, and he came out of the tube aged to about 13 or 14 so his actual age is 5 or 6

    I think you're thinking of Smallville, where they did that with a chunk of Kryptonite and electricity.  That's the show.  It doesn't work like that in the comics.  Parasite or somene like him could steal powers, but they're not transferrable.

    @Primmaster64: that makes more sense, but Supes dosen't wear a mask so you wouldn't think he has another identity, when he first told the JLA they said they idea of him having a secret identity never even occured to them cause they though he didn't have one cause he dosen't wear a mask
