The Kid's Powers

Unable to clone Superman because of his Kryptonian DNA, Project Cadmus created an aurora that was the closest equivalent to Superman's Alien DNA make-up. This is what the kid so lovingly calls "Tactile Telekinesis".

Tactile Telekinesis Abilities

He can lift just about anything now. All he has to do is concentrate really hard. The more he wills the object to move, the more he can “lift”. He has lifted the worlds (and Lex Luther's) largest boat (Superman #700); as well as Ali Ben Styn’s palace (Young Justice #2).

He can lock objects and people down to the ground; manipulate water, lava, metal, etc.; render objects unable to move; blow objects up; as well as disassemble objects.

This TK field creates a proves to pretty impenetrable. Protect an object by putting his T.K. field around it/him/her.

Super Metabolism: When under stress his reflexes become really fast; super healing

Just as the charged solar cells that Superman saves up can make Superman fly, Superboy's T.K. Field also give him the power of self propulsion.

His Top Speed: Cross Country in 4 hours, and has out flown a run away jet.

It has been hypothesized that he has vision powers that lay dormant within his body, and that Cadmus was about to 'show' him what he could do just before the Newsboys broke him out and he escaped. With his body no longer being able to age, it is uncertain if he'll ever be able to use these powers. But in Superboy #1,000,000, it shows a shot where Impulse and Robin (his teammates in Young Justice) telling him to use his heat vision.

Weaknesses

Kryptonite (given on purpose)

Magic (given on purpose)

These are the only two weaknesses given within the pages of Superboy, but we know that his T.K. Field cannot withstand energy blasts, gas, or fire. Superboy needs to breath just like a human being.

When he is unconscious (asleep, KO'ed, etc.,) his T.K. Field goes down, and he can be hurt like any other human being.

It is theorized that Superboy's body is a solar battery such as Superman's. But his powers did not blink out as Superman's did during "The Final Night" story line, so we're not too sure how solid that statement is.
