Superboy's tactile telekinesis transforms DC's Kryptonite Powerhouse.
Conner Kent, better known as Superboy, showed a stunning improvement to his legendary tactile telekinesis in the latest Action Comics #1066, which left readers wondering whether he is now the most potent Kryptonian in the DC universe. With Brainiac Queen wreaking havoc upon Superman's allies, this newly acquired power comes at a pivotal point as the Super-Family faces off against her formidable forces.
Appreciating Superboy's Tactile Telekinesis
Superboy has a special ability with a rich history: tactile telekinesis—that is, the ability to move objects by physical touch. Lex Luthor first tested it on a young lad called Sammy Stryker. Unlike Conner, Sammy was born naturally inclined for this ability. Taking his telekinesis to incredible heights, he found he could control molecules in the air around him. Sadly, driven by his newly acquired ability, Sammy killed his own father, so causing a terrible turn of events. This deed led to his incarceration inside an unavoidable cell by Relic under Luthor.
The Chained: Superboy's Power Catalyst
Later known as the Chained, Sammy was unintentionally liberated by Superman. Driven by wrath, the Chained caused havoc in Metropolis until he understood he connected to Superboy via their shared power. Conner was advised to fully utilize his tactile telekinesis, a potential Conner had been gradually discovering including the capacity to alter electric signals.
Superboy's tactile telekinesis represents a fresh degree of power.
Superboy explores his tactile telekinesis more in the face of the Brainiac Queen's attack, remembering the Chained's mastery. He controls Brainiac's ship, upsetting its power supply and so stopping the Queen's attack. Superboy's amazing development and control over his power—which pushes it beyond anything he has ever shown—showcases here.
Enhanced Power of Superboy: The Strongest Kryptonian?
Superboy's improved tactile telekinesis begs an interesting issue: has Conner Kent evolved to be the most potent Kryptonian in the DC universe? Even Lex Luthor thought of him as a strong weapon, the Chained presented a major threat to the whole Super-Family in the height of his power. Conner might be on par with the monster known for its amazing might, Doomsday, if he is nearing the Chained's power level. Conner's natural Kryptonian talents— superhuman strength and durability—also magnify his power even more.
Superboy's Advantage: Unseen Manipulation's Power
Conner has a special advantage from his tactile telekinesis—he can influence objects without actually touching them. Conner's power opens a universe of possibilities, thus he is a challenging opponent in any fight. Though Conner's improved tactile telekinesis distinguishes him, the Super-Family—each with their own special abilities—is clearly potent.
Superboy's Future: An Other Age of Authority?
Conner's exploration of his tactile telekinesis's full potential excites one to wonder what he might accomplish. With his fresh mastery, he is poised to become a force to be reckoned with in the DC universe; his potential seems unbounded. Will he exceed even Superman's might? Though the outcome is yet unknown, one thing is clear: Superboy has entered a new age of power and his future offers exciting opportunities.
