>Ultraboy
>Ultraman had it all: money, power, women, his heart's desires were his for the taking. All except one: the same Kryptonite that granted his powers rendered him infertile. Although parental love was alien to the Made Man of Steel, a desire to see his legacy control the planet appealed to him. And so he approached S.T.A.R. Labs with a demand to create him a cloned son. And when they refused, he killed the chiefs of staff and convinced their replacements to take on the project.
>He would be perfect: stronger and smarter than anyone on Earth (save Ultraman, of course), and with all his vicious tendencies turned up to 11. However, what he failed to realize at the time was that his "replacement" chiefs of staff at the Labs were plants from his sworn nemesis, Lex Luthor.
>Led by Dr. Hugo Strange and former psychiatrist The Harlequin, Luthor's team carried out the cloning project but altered Kal-Il's son by mixing his DNA - he would be half-Kryptonian and half-human. More specifically, Half-Lex Luthor.
>Dubbed Kon-Il, Ultraman's son was gifted with a truly staggering mind, a savage thirst for blood, and unfortunately a deep divide in his nature between hero and villain.
>His instincts command him to revel in the evil of the Crime Syndicate and take the world for himself, but his heart tells him he's meant to be something more, something better.
>Lex had hoped to create an ally, but instead found a threat to both himself and Ultraman. "Ultraboy" abandoned both of his fathers and became a wanderer, on some days saving bystanders from the Crime Syndicate and on others losing control and slaughtering towns in blind fury.
>As he teeters on the edge, which side will win out? The alien, or the man?
