Conner Kent is a clone of Clark Kent, created in conjunction with Luthercorp and Cadmus Labs, initially as a weapon against Clark Kent. Although Conner is actually around four years old, his aging process was sped up so as to appear in his teens. Although officially dubbed Project 13, he was given the name Conner by one of his handlers, to give him somewhat more of a "human" connection to the world.

Conner was released, brainwashed, into Metropolis to seek out and destroy Clark Kent by any means necessary. He believes Clark Kent a National Security threat, and either bringing him into Cadmus or killing him would serve the greater good. Because he was raised with little morals; killing others to gain what he desires is not beyond his prowess.

After a brief encounter with Clark and intervention by others in the masked community, he was convinced to live with Clark, under the condition that if Clark killed needlessly, the MAn of Steel would surrender himself to Project 13 without resistance. During this time he befriended Chloe Sullivan, who showed him what Cadmus was really after. This new finding brought Conner to the decision to leave Cadmus LAbs for good.

Powers: At first, Conner's only superpower is "tactile telekinesis", a telekinetic force field that surrounds his body as a protective shield and allows him strength, flight and invulnerability. Tactile telekinesis also allows Conner to disassemble machines and other complex constructions by pushing the field between the individual parts; alternately, he can, for short periods of time, hold such constructs together if they are coming apart. He can also manipulate aggregate solid masses such as volumes of sand or dust in the same way, causing the individual particles to fly apart in an explosive manner to create particle clouds or a forceful attack; he can also perform the same stunt with solid masses that are splintered, such as a cracked slab of concrete or fractured pane of glass. The tactile TK field also lets Conner break free of an opponent's grip by pushing the field outward to force the opponent away. Other creative uses include rendering an opponent immobile by extending the TK field as long as they are both standing on the same ground; a variation on this is to extend the protection of his field to another person by touching them.

The main disadvantage of tactile telekinesis is that it is less effective in blocking energy (including fire and the resulting heat) than it is against solids, leaving Conner slightly more susceptible to energy-based attacks. It is also less effective against gaseous materials and liquids. However, he was shown to be able to manipulate water to create a current he could fire from himself while under water as well as deflect lava and prevent himself from being burned. With only Tactile Telekinesis as his powers, at first, Conner was only able to fly up to the speed of 500 mph or so.

Conner is also equipped with goggles allowing him X-Ray and heat vision.
