After a mission in Paris where they battled the Agenda and meet a supermodel named "Hex", who claims to be Jonah Hex, Superboy meets the new Cadmus Director (Mickey "the Mechanic" Cannon), new military liaison Col. He rejoined Cadmus and began working as a field agent with Dubbilex and Guardian. Superboy decided to stay on the islands, stylizing himself as the "Hero of Hawaii." After a running battle with Sidearm on the beach, Superboy learned that Tana Moon had moved to Hawaii. After the original Superman's return, Superboy began operating alongside him as an independent hero for a time, refusing to give credence to the idea that he was a "sidekick" of Superman's.Īfter a few weeks of travelling, Superboy and Dubbilex arrived in Hawaii, joined by Rex and Roxy Leech. Three other Supermen emerged simultaneously: "The Man of Tomorrow" ( Cyborg Superman), "The Last Son of Krypton" ( Eradicator), and "The Man of Steel" ( Steel). This prompts the Kid to turn to another reporter, Tana Moon, who breaks the story live on WGBS. This revelation was first revealed to Lois Lane, but she was not interested. In fact, he told anyone who'd listen that he was a clone of Superman. While glibly asserting he was Superman, he quickly rebuked any insinuation he was the original Superman. When Superboy arrived in Metropolis, he used the name "Superman". While at first calling himself "Superman", he would later be known as Superboy. This clone was released from his cloning tube too early, however, and emerged as a teenager. The clone was given implanted memories and underwent an artificial maturation process intended to match the age of the original Superman. After twelve failed attempts, the clone known as Experiment 13 was grown from a single cell to a teenage boy in less than a week and was a complete success. This was later known as "tactile telekinesis" by the scientists. The aura was translated into a telekinetic field for a human that would give the clone the ability to simulate Superman's powers such as flight, invulnerability, and strength. During their research when they had Superman's body, Westfield's scientists discovered a bio-electric aura surrounding Superman's body that provided some of Superman's powers such as invulnerability, flight through a form of self-telekinesis, protection from getting dirty and protection from skin-tight clothing to be damaged. After failed attempts to acquire Superman's DNA, Westfield decided to genetically alter a human clone to look like Superman and made the clone to be the closest human equivalent to a Kryptonian as they could based on their research.
