Conner Kent

Conner Kent is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character first appeared as a modern variation of Superboy in The Adventures of Superman #500 (June 1993), and was created by writer Karl Kesel and artist Tom Grummett. From the character's debut in 1993 to 2003, Superboy was depicted as a genetically-engineered metahuman clone of human origin designed by Paul Westfield of Project Cadmus as a duplicate and equivalent of Superman, though released before he had fully matured. The character was retconned in Teen Titans (vol. 3) #1 (September 2003) as a human/Kryptonian binary clone made from the DNA of Superman and Lex Luthor. This has since become the character's most enduring origin story in later comic books and media adaptations. He later adopts the honorary Kryptonian name Kon-El and the private name Conner Kent. The character made his live action debut in the series Smallville, portrayed by Lucas Grabeel, and has appeared in the series Titans, played by Joshua Orpin. Nolan North and Cameron Monaghan have voiced the character in animations.
