    Default Conner as the personification of a Superman with less "limits"?

    Hello,

    I personally ALWAYS thought that it would be cool for Conner to be aged up (20) and him being in some ways like Clark (Superhero), BUT (I dont know how to describe) with less limits...and other views.

    For example Clark never trained, but I like the Idea that Conner trains in martial arts.

    Clark isnt the guy who would use a yellow,red etc. lantern ring, but I like the Idea that Conner sees them only as kind of "vehicle" to fullfill his missions.

    I also like the Idea of Conner enjoying flirting, being together with women etc. (not cheating if he has a girlfriend, but spending time together also with 2 women etc.).
    I also like the Idea that this are women who could mean trouble like Knockout, Artemis of Bana, Huntress (Helena)...
    Also flirting etc. with female members of the JL like Black Canary,Zatanna...(with a kind of Charlie Harper,James Bond...charme) probably also Diana...

    I like the black/red as his colors, so his look a mix of Brutaal of Earth 2 and Black Zero...

    So I like the Idea of him as Superhero much like Clark, but with other views etc. and also like during his time in Hawaii enjoying his superpowers..not only using them for helping people, but also to enjoy his life..

    Well when Geoff Johns wrote the teen titans story titans if tomorrow the adult Conner could block magic, like freddys fist. He created TK fields that kept his fist from even touching him.

    The new 52 superboy wasn't a solar battery, and wasn't effected by red sun energy.

    I'm not for sure, but I think a version of kon was either able to block kryptonite or it was hinted thst he might be able too.

    I mean I personally think that with Jon now a teenager, though just in general, that Conner along with the Young Justice team should be in their early 20’s (I’m talking like 21-23). I personally wanna see older Uncle Conner to a young teen Jon.

    As for how different he should be, I’m not sure. Genuinely I think to some extent that he’d try to be similar to Clark but I would assume he’d try to learn some different fighting styles. Maybe he’d think because he’s a teenager that he has a less bulky build compared to Superman and has to learn to fight for his smaller frame. I’m talking the difference between a teen and a grown adult of course.

    I think he should be different because he has experienced:
    -the death of Tana Moon
    -his own death
    -he is a clone of Lex and Clark

    etc. etc.

    and it would be AWESOME to finally see a Super-Character learning how to fight properly...
    I liked the NEW52 Superman Fighting Style...which wasnt based only a punching, but also strikes with knees etc.

    If you think of the times, then Conner should definitely have new ways to protect himself and over come adversaries. Now there are tons of super-powered beings who are in or close enough to a kryptonians power level, so he can't just rely on being the strongest, like Clark has. He needs to train to fight, use tech, and have built in "extras" (TTK), to stay on top.

    Trained by Tim and Cassie to fight
    Tech from Cadmus,or kryptonian, maybe creating his own, lex is his other dad, genius level intellect should come with the cloning.
    Tactile telekinesis is his best chance of staying on top of a more crowded mountain now.

    Cassie and Tim arent good enough, but I for example often thought that Artemis of Bana could be an interesting choice for a short term relationship...
    She has trained Cassie,Supergirl etc. and with her Amazon strenght she could also be difficult for Conner...

    I also wish that Cassie would take more training, but she already lost her origin (Zeus as father) so I think she will even fall more behind...
