Since nowadays EVERYONE receives godlike Powers I think its time to give Conner Kent a HUGE!!!!!!! push.
I think its ridiculous to have a Legend like him, who exists since years and fought against Superboy Prime,Doomsday, sacrificied his Life etc. being inferior to such new Characters like the Super-Man of China, Jonathan Kent etc. etc. etc. etc.
Version A:
Take NEW52 Superman and call him Conner Kent.
I liked the suit, attitude,age etc.
But it was more Conner than Clark.
So he is 25 years old, he has the NEW52 Superman Suit and his Kryptonian Powers at the Levels of a normal Kryptonian of his age + the traditional TTK who begins to get stronger and he can do more things with it and TTK doesnt depend on the Sun (ITS METAHUMAN!!!!!!) and he also has Luthors Intelligence.
I liked the idea of Chris Kent having more powers, because of his connection to the Kryptonian God Nightwing.
So he has Full Kryptonian Powers like every Kryptonian, is weaker than Clark, because he is younger.
BUT!!! he also has TTK, which are augmented because of his connection to Nightwing:
TTK:
-simulate Kryptonian Powers (Super-Strenght, Super-Speed, Flying etc.)
-Boost Mode (since he can simulate Supermans Powers, he can also use TTK to increase his Super-Strenght, Super-Speed etc.)
So he can become stronger than Clark if he uses Super-Strenght and use TTK....
-TTK Shields (like the Titans of Tomorrow Superman has, which protected him from magic)
-TTK Blasts which he can use in various forms...
Nightwing Power Set:
-Psionic Constructs like Green Lantern
-Teleport
-augmented TTK to Full TK
-Nightwing Sense (Chris had the sense to see everything what was in the shadows)
So this is like a mix of the Meta-Human Conner and the Half-Kryptonian Half Human Conner...Because things like the not being dependend from the yellow sun were already in the Comics as he was Meta-Human...
The Boost Mode was displayed with the NEW52 Superboy and also Martian Manhunter for example can use Telekinesis in such a mode..
So he is a cooler, younger Superman who is the cool "uncle" to Jonathan.
The rich cool uncle who lives together with his Super-Hot Amazon Girlfriend (Cassie), Bart and Tim in Gateway City.
I like that he drives a Ford Mustang, a Harley Davidson and is a young famous engineer who runs a company together with his best friends Tim Drake,Bart and his GF.
With his TTK he is like a mix of Superman and Son Goku (Beast Mode is like a Super-Sayajin).
He already has TTK Blasts, so it would be only logical and cool if he can learn to fire them also like the Dragonball Characters...
Version B:
I personally would love to reboot Kon-El in a kind of H' EL....
I like the idea of him being a Speedforce Mix between between NEW52 and Pre-Flashpoint Superboy.
65% Kryptonian 25% Darkseid and 10% Lex Luthor
Darkseid, because it was never explained from who the remaining 10% of NEW52 Superboy came from.
So he has ALL Kryptonian Superpowers AND FULL-Telekinesis.
He acts at H'El Level which is far superior than Diana,Clark,Martian Manhunter etc. could EVER reach.
So irs basically the good Version of H'El:
-Speed and Reflexes at Wally West Convergence Level
-Strenght at Superboy Prime Level
-Senses of normal Kryptonian
-Heat Vision, Freeze Breath etc. like normal Kryptonian
-Luthors Intelligence Level
-Telepathy at Psymon,Martian Manhunter,Grodd Level
-Full TK with all what H'El did: attack Enemies at molecular level, creating tornados which are strong enough to hold Superman etc. back, also create psyonic constructs, Telekinetic Blasts etc....
-Martial Arts skills trained by Karate Kid of the Legion...
He opens an own company like Lex,Bruce,Mr. Terrific......
So he is a rival for both "fathers"
For Lex in Science and Wealth
For Superman as Superhero
