For all your Conner Kent fic writing needs!

  • He was never created to be SuperBOY. He was just let out of his clone tube early. Chronologically, his development stopped at about age 16. He's a year older than Bart Allen, and two years older than Tim Drake.
  • The Kid spent his first year as a superhero in Hawaii. He was also mostly a publicity stunt.
  • He is tiny, compared to Clark. In fact, he's only an inch taller than Tim (but about 25 pounds heavier)
  • One of his aliases for his secret identity is Carl Grummet (based on the writer and artist for his original comic)
  • His signature leather jacket has been replaced dozens of times because it gets destroyed in most of his fights.
  • Kyle Rayner taught him how to draw, and he sculpted the statues of the Young Justice members that stand in their display room.
  • His powers sometimes get away from him and act out his subconscious desires- they once destroyed every handgun in the city when he was upset, and while getting frustrated trying to give a baby a bottle, it blew up.
  • He sleeps with a teddy bear.
  • Fellow DNAlien Dubbilex was his tutor, and Kon considered him his dad. He also considered his agent's daughter Roxy to be his big sister.
  • He. Is. A. Geek. He is a rabid Wendy The Werewolf Stalker fanboy, quotes Star Trek from memory, and collects rare Magic the Gathering cards.
  • He briefly had a crush on Cassandra Cain and was even her first kiss, but they both realised that what they both wanted was to be friends.
  • The piercing in his left ear is actually from the Project 13 identity tag that he had in his clone tube.
  • After Project Cadmus shut down, he was homeless and living in the bathtub at Young Justice HQ. Because he doesn't have a firm grasp on how the world works, when he tried to get an apartment of his own, he tried to pay his rent with a bag of toys and snacks. Eventually he ended up as a superintendent at a slum building.
  • Before he was adopted by the Kents, he used to visit them from time to time, hoping to get affection from Ma Kent.
  • The Justice League once strapped his ass to a nuke and blasted him into the multiverse. There, he met dozens of other versions of himself. One of those versions was a Robin who took the role after that world's Tim was killed.

And of course, for your shipping needs:

  • He can pinpoint Tim's voice out of everyone in Gotham, as well as track him across the globe.
  • He knows that Tim tried to clone him after he died.
  • After their first mission together, he thinks that he and Tim are going to end up as Bart's parents.
  • Tim's 'Robin voice' seems to turn him on.
  • He has dreams about Bart as a Playboy Bunny version of the White Rabbit.

KON-EL READING ORDER

For those who, like me, when they like a character they need to read every single comic the character appears in, I have compiled a list of all of Kon-El’s (Conner Kent’s) appearances from his debut up to the 2011 Flashpoint reboot (not including New 52 continuity).

#the kid!#conner kent#superboy#i'm rereading the original superboy run#and he is just a tiny little dude#i hate what TT did turning him into a massive tank#plus like everything else about that series...
