[Personality]
Superboy was created by Cadmus from a mixture of Superman and Lex Luthor's DNA. His modus operandi was to become a replacement for Superman should he die, or need to be taken out. Cadmus planted Over the course of 16 weeks, Superboy was 'taught' by three G-Gnomes, artificially created creatures with psychic abilities including telepathy. The G-Gnomes fed a detailed world history, including Superman’s exploits, directly into Superboy’s brain. However, before Robin, Aqualad and Kid Flash released him from his pod, Superboy had never been outside it and allowed to experience the world for himself. One of the G-Gnomes in his pod did become very attached to him though, to the point of following him to Team’s new Head Quarters. It picked up on some of the more powerful emotions that had been experienced by the Justice League when the Cave was discovered by the Joker and projected the incident into his mind. Since the Joker had used a box full of monkeys to attack the League, Superboy developed a strong dislike of monkeys.
Only knowing what the G-Gnomes had force fed him, Superboy sees Superman as the ultimate hero and by association, has a hard time seeing his own weaknesses early on. Superboy wanted to know what it was like to be Superman and be accepted by him. But upon first meeting the big-blue-boyscout it became clear that it wasn’t going to be instantaneous or easy to have a relationship with him. Superman kept him at arms length for months, while he tried to become comfortable with there being a clone of himself. This fueled Superboy’s anger as well as dreams of defeating Superman. During his time in his pod at Cadmus, they had fed Superboy images of him defeating Superman. Even under sedation, Superboy was able to crack the containment pod. While he rather quickly overcame his desire to destroy Superman as he grew as a person outside of Cadmus’ control, it wasn’t until Superman accepted him as a son/brother that Superboy finally felt like he wasn’t just a poor copy of the original. When Superman finally started acting as his mentor, he was able to help Superboy overcome some of his self confidence issues, was able to teach him what he knew of Krypton, and give him a family beyond the Team.
Superboy’s relationship with Lex Luthor, his other genetic donor, started off rocky and doesn’t have much hope of getting better. Lex wanted Superboy to join the Light, however by the time Superboy met Lex, he already knew him as a villain and was unwilling to change his perception of the man. He gave Superboy information that led him to discover Match, the first, failed attempt to clone Superman, and gave him ‘shields’ to enhance his Kryptonian DNA. Superboy very quickly realized that Lex was merely trying to use him, but accepted the shields in hopes that without his human weaknesses he would a better member of the Team and have an easier time being accepted by Superman. After being tricked and used by Lex, he doesn’t see him as anything more than a villain. However, his encounters with Lex led to discoveries about himself. He realized that while he is a clone, he’s also his own person and that he doesn’t need to be a full Kryptonian to be powerful, or accepted by anyone, including himself.
Due to the mental control Superboy was placed under at Cadmus, he is extremely opposed to violations of his and other’s minds. When M’gann first attempts to speak with the Team telepathically he yells at her, and has a difficult time adjusting to the experience even when she uses her telepathic abilities to help the Team. Gradually though, Superboy learns to accept M’gann’s telepathy as he learns to trust her as a teammate and a friend, then as a girl friend. That trust is developed and tested on missions with the Team where they have to look out for each other as well as work with each other’s skills and abilities. Though Superboy, along with the other members of the Team, become reliant on her for telepathic communication on missions, as M’gann became more powerful she began to use those abilities to gain information from enemies without caring about the damage she caused them mentally. While he could accept M’gann using her powers to help the Team, leaving enemies mentally broken, almost beyond repair, he could not accept. This worried Superboy, but it was when M’gann tried to make him forget about an argument that she finally broke his trust. Even when he hadn’t cared about M’gann being a White Martian, and forgiven her other lies, he could not forgive her for trying to manipulate him. He does still care about M’gann though, confiding in her, though not sure if he can ever fully trust her again.
Superboy quickly forms opinions of people, judging their actions in a black and white fashion. This includes normal citizens, schoolmates and new team members. He is often suspicious of new people/ situations. After being used by people like Lex and Cadmus he isn’t quick to trust those who haven’t earned it. He also doesn’t like lying or being lied to, even by omission. Superboy believes that if you trust the people around you, then you should be able to be honest with them. While he understands that sometimes in order to protect the Team/ someone lying is easiest and safest option, he doesn’t forgive it. He knows there are other ways to go about things that don’t include being dishonest to the people that you are supposed to trust with your life.
Superboy can also be unforgiving, especially of actions that hurt others. He most often uses his brute strength, drawing from his anger to fuel his strength, to win fights, though he learns to think through his actions more as he matures and experiences more of the world. His lack of real world experience does hinder him occasionally. He can come off as awkward in social situations both due to his limited experience and his generally quiet, shy nature (when something doesn’t anger him). He speaks up when he has questions, and has a very to-the-point way of speaking. This partially stems from the difficulty he has in expressing how he feels. Superboy can easily overreact, either due to a misunderstanding, or his strong feelings about something. It can also lead him to being over protective of his friends, teammates and loved ones. His stubbornness only making his over protectiveness worse. Being one of the strongest members of the Team, he knows that in a lot of cases he would be able to protect a teammate in a dangerous situation, but can forget that if someone is part of the Team, they have powers of their own. Everyone on the Team has a reason why they are there, and not letting them do their job as part of the Team only hinders everyone.
Since the addition of several new members of the Team, Superboy has become a bit more approachable. He tries to encourage the younger members and help them adjust to being part of a Team as well as new situations and dangers. While there are some members he doesn’t exactly care for, he would never wish them harm and while on a mission treats everyone on the Team the same. He does have a tendency to be drawn to strays (like his pets Wolf and Sphere), partially because of his own somewhat solitary nature. He knows what its like to be rejected, betrayed, ignored and thrown away, and because of that tries to help others that have gone through those things.
