Does Conner ever get annoyed that people constantly refer to him as a clone when he is actually a hybrid? The public and superhero community do that all the time. Maybe the more observant but still uninformed members of the public make the leap that Superboy is a "clone" of Lex?

So my version of Conner has a public persona and a secret identity that only a select few are in on (Lex, Clark, Lena, eventually Lois, the Martians etc.). The public know him as (Don't Call Me) Superboy, but no one's jumping to the conclusion that he's a clone because he doesn't look like an exact copy or younger version of Superman. So he doesn't get called that often. I imagine some conspiracy theorists do pitch that Conner's a clone of Lex during, say, a plotline where clones get a disease and it causes people to speculate.

He wouldn't particularly care that people should be accurate in specifying what type of clone he is, he's more focused on trying to be his own person. Also as a visibly mixed kid, I don't think he'd like being called a hybrid lol.
