* BareYourMidriff: Roxy's outfits tend to show off her midriff before she joins the Police Academy.

* HotScientist: Dr. Sterling Roquette, who normally dresses in ways that cover her figure, gets Superboy's attention anyway as she's attractive and near his physical age.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Sparx shows up in her usual impossibly low cut simulated leotard.

* HandHidingSleeves: In Kon's third costume, the one he picks up after his powers are restored, he doesn't wear his usual red gloves, instead leaving the way his sleeves terminate as fingerless gloves visible.

* AllianceOfAlternates: Kon-El teams up with the other versions of Superboy Black Zero had captured to disable Black Zero, who is an evil alternate of the Superboys that were created at Cadmus. Not all of the alternate Superboys are alternate versions of ''Kon-El'' as some are young versions of Kal-El and at least one is an alternate Supergirl.

Kesel and Grummett left the series after issue #30 – afterwards, writing duties were mainly taken up by Ron Marz and by Barbara Kesel, with various artists including Ramon Bernado, Paul Ryan and Georges Jeanty. During this period, Superboy also starred in a second ongoing series ''ComicBook/SuperboyAndTheRavers''.

* OffscreenTeleportation: Batman of course, to the great annoyance of the new government overseers at Cadmus. [[ComicBook/RobinSeries Robin]] and [[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Batgirl]] partake as well.

* AlternateUniverse: Kon-El meets and teams up with the Kal-El version Superboy in several post-Crisis storylines, including "ComicBook/ZeroHour" and "Hypertension." He also runs into ''a lot'' of alternate versions of himself and gets tossed through multiple universes as he's trying to figure out Black Zero's plan and how to stop him. He ends up teaming up with about 50 different Superboys to do so.

* BreakoutVillain: King Shark debuted in this series, but has greatly risen in popularity thanks to ''ComicBook/SecretSix'' and ''ComicBook/SuicideSquad'', even appearing on ComicBook/HarleyQuinn's 2019 [[WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn2019 television series]].

* CoolShades: Kon is almost always wearing a pair and keeps an extra pair in his jacket, they're usually LennonSpecs but sometimes he experiments with other styles that are derivative of his usual.

During this period, Superboy also starred in a second ongoing series ''ComicBook/SuperboyAndTheRavers''.

With issue #50, Kesel and Grummett returned to the series while taking it in a new direction: Superboy leaves Hawaii to go back to work at Project Cadmus, now reformed and under new management. A whole new supporting cast at Cadmus was introduced, including new love interest Serling Roquette. Superboy was also at long last given a real name, Kon-El. Eventually, Kesel and Grummett departed the series again and a new creative team took over with issue #83, with writing by Joe Kelly & Eddie Berganza and pencils by Pasqual Ferry.

While travelling on a world tour with his unscrupulous agent Rex Leech, his agent's daughter Roxy, and fellow superpowered Cadmus clone Dubbilex acting as chaperone, Superboy arrives in Honolulu and ends up in a high-profile fight with a super-villain. After chatting with the admiring locals and reconnecting with Tana Moon, his love interest from ''The Death of Superman'' who had since moved back to Honolulu as a reporter, Superboy decides to stay in Hawaii as the state's resident superhero.

While he continued to appear in team books such as ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'', ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' and ''[[ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes The Legion]]'', Superboy did not regain his own solo series until more than eight years later, with ''[[ComicBook/Superboy2011 Superboy (vol. 5)]]''. This was cut short by the ComicBook/New52 reboot, which radically reinvented the character in the new continuity. The original version of Kon reappeared in ''ComicBook/{{Convergence}}'' and returned to the DCU in ''ComicBook/YoungJustice2019''.
