The Superboy of Earth-Prime (aka Superboy-Prime) is the last survivor of that universe's Krypton and one of the few super-beings in Earth-Prime's history. During the events of the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Superman met this young version of himself on Earth-Prime, helping the boy discover his Kryptonian origin and thwart an alien invasion. (DCCP No. 87, Nov 1985: "Year of the Comet").
This universe's baby Kal-El was sent to Earth with Jor-El's experimental transporter beam, and was found by a young married couple, Jerry and Naomi Kent. Naomi named the boy Clark (her maiden name minus a final "e"), fully realizing what a child named Clark Kent would go through in a world where Superman was a comic book character. This Clark grew into a normal, non-superpowered teenager on the New England coast, until the summer of 1985, when during a beachside costume party he suddenly found himself flying and meeting a dimensionally-displaced Superman in space (DCCP No. 87/2, Nov 1985: "The Origin of Superboy-Prime!").
Superboy-Prime exhibited many of the powers of his Earth-1 counterpart, although his limitations remained untested in his brief appearances. He was unaffected by red sun radiation.
Superboy-Prime remained with the Superman of Earth-2 in the anti-matter universe following the destruction of the Anti-Monitor. From there, Alexander Luthor, Jr. of Earth-3 transported the three of them, along with Lois Kent, to a paradise dimension from which none have as yet returned.
Years later, it was revealed that Superboy had attempted release from this dimension, causing reality wripples to impact the core universe. During the Infinite Crisis it was revealed that Superboy had shifted the orbits of several planets in the Rann and Thanagar systems to create a new Earth-Two by shifting the center of the universe from that of Oa. When his scheme with Alexander was revealed, he lost control of his powers, murdering or maiming several heroes in the process. He was temporarily exiled to a red star system, until he returned with a reassembled armor from the Anti-Monitor, at which point he was attacked by both the present day and Earth-Two Supermen. Superboy killed the later, but not before he was rendered powerless by the two Men of Steel. He is now imprisoned on Oa under guard of the Green Lantern Corp.
