I wonder what your design of Conner Kent would be like? What his relationship is with Jon, Clark, and Lois in your JL universe?

Meet (don't call me) Superboy! He's a clone of Superman developed by CADMUS in secret collaboration with LexCorp, for the purposes of "just in case anything happens to Superman". He's made from the DNA of Superman and Lex Luthor. What CADMUS doesn't realize is that Lex planted a trigger in Project Superboy so that he would prematurely break out of CADMUS' facility in what looks like a freak escape accident.
When Project Superboy wakes up, it's with false memories Lex planted into his mind. Superboy doesn't know much- he has a photo of what looks like him and his younger sister, and a mysterious untraceable walkie talkie relaying instructions he should follow if he wants to see his family safe again. Also he has superpowers?!

From what he remembers, he thinks his name is "Paul Westfield". He goes around America doing undercover odd jobs (unknowingly) for Lex Luthor. Sometimes it means breaking into facilities to retrieve something Lex needs and dropping it off at an undisclosed location. Despite instructions to stay hidden, Paul can't suppress his desire to help those in need when he comes by them. As he travels from town to town, Paul tries to unravel who he is and what's going on.
He'll eventually choose the name "Conner" for himself, but that's after the big mystery of his origin story! I'm in the process of fleshing out his character so we'll learn more about his relationships with Superman's cast as we go.
