Superboy-Prime remains trapped in the Speed Force for years, but eventually returns to Earth mere hours after he left due to time dilation, sporting a new set of armor inspired by the Anti-Monitors. In the ensuing battle, Superboy-Prime inadvertently destroys the tower Alexander Luthor had built to separate the various Earths to their previous state. Ultimately, it takes the Guardians of the Universe to capture and imprison him.
He escapes and joins forces with Sinestro and Cyborg Superman in attacking Oa, the planetary base of the Green Lantern Corps , though he turns on Sinestro and is seemingly vaporized.
Attacking Monarch, he inadvertently causes a quantum explosion that appears to destroy that entire universe. He next appears in the future to battle the Legion of Super-Heroes. Legions from several different universes enter the fray to combat Superboy-Prime and the Legion of Super-Villains. But the only way he can be defeated is by the Time Trapper, a Legion villain who lives at the end of time. It is revealed that the Time Trapper is in fact a grown and aged Superboy-Prime.
When the younger Superboy-Prime appears to kill the elder, he creates a paradox that causes both versions to vanish. He reappears back on Earth-Prime, where his parents and girlfriend have all read about his villainous deeds and are terrified of him. He spends his time pouring over any DC Comics he can get his hands on.
In the vast recesses of the infinite multiverse, there was once a world very much like our own. A world where the Justice League , the Teen Titans , the Legion of Super-Heroes and all the heroes we love and villains we hate were no more than characters in comic books. Identical, that is, except for one notable exception: Earth-Prime had its own last survivor of the planet Krypton, its own alien child adopted by a kindly couple, its own Clark Kent named, naturally, after the popular fictional character.
Its own Superboy. Not long after this young Clark Kent began manifesting powers of his own, the Earth he knew and loved was consumed by the Anti-Monitor , during the Crisis on Infinite Earths. There is also a Golden Superman Prime which is Regular Superman ascended to godhood via thousands of years of power-ups.
Superboy Prime and Superman Prime are one in the same. Not Earth 3. He was Superman Prime for legal reasons, same reason that Superboy was killed off around the same time. The Siegel estate was suing Warner Bros. So during this period DC removed all characters named "Superboy". Okay Superboy is a clone of superman and superman is well superman but Superboy was not the only clone of superman but conner kent the first clone developed a mind of his own he was created by Lex Luther to be a living weapon which he had total control over.
However, Superboy-Prime escaped from his imprisonment and built a battle-suit based on the Anti-Monitor's armor that constantly supplied his body with yellow sunlight.
The heroes succeeded in releasing the metahumans powering the machine. After a brief fight, Conner grabbed Superboy-Prime and flew into the tower destroying it. However, Superboy-Prime would be unfazed by the attack, escaping as Conner was killed by the rubble.
Superboy-Prime then was seen at the Battle of Metropolis, killing both heroes and villains with ease. He continued his killing spree until he was met with resistance by Bart Allen in his grandfather's uniform. He was pulverized by Bart, but then left Earth to destroy Oa in an attempt to cause another Big Bang and reform the current universe hopefully closer to his original Earth-Prime reality. On the way to ignite this universal rebirth, Superboy-Prime killed 32 Green Lanterns.
Then, while battling the Green Lantern Corps, Kal-L and Kal-El forced Superboy-Prime through Krypton's red sun to depower the vastly overpowered youth to levels where the elder Supermen could handle him directly. The three crash-landed on the Green Lantern planet Mogo, where they continued to fight. Kal-L's power levels were intact, but was still no match for even the power fading levels of Superboy-Prime, who was able to literally beat Kal-L to death with his bare fists and was able to fight against the New Earth adult Kal-El, whose own superpower levels had completely faded.
But the time and effort Superboy-Prime used to attack Kal-L whose strength and endurance was still superhuman was enough to completely drain off Superboy-Prime's own power level to where the fully adult New Earth Superman was able to beat the still only teenage Superboy-Prime.
Superboy-Prime was then taken into the custody of the Green Lantern Corps. Too powerful to be placed in a regular Sciencell on Oa, the Guardians of the Universe imprisoned him inside a Sciencell near what is alternately described as a red sun or a Red Sun-Eater, constantly being guarded by fifty Green Lanterns.
Members of the Corps were often assigned to "Prime Duty" as punishment. While in prison, Superboy-Prime carved a bloody "S" on his chest using his fingernail, saying that he had always found a way out referring, presumably, to his escape from the Speed Force and his future prison.
Sinestro Corps War Superboy-Prime was freed, along with the Cyborg Superman, by a strike force of Sinestro Corps members who turned the red sun to yellow, presumably thereby restoring his powers.
And again, due to the massive power difference between himself and the others, Prime was able to cut a path of destruction throughout the known universe, once again successfully defeating Kal-El of New Earth, but this time with Power Girl and Supergirl all at the same time with them charged up as well, ending the debate of who was the most powerful of the Supermen as well as many other high powered heroes in his role as the herald of the Anti-Monitor. However, Prime showed that his main goals are to gain his revenge on the Anti-Monitor who Superboy-Prime had accidentally revived during Infinite Crisis and somehow recover his lost universe, or at least the recognition as the so-called "real" Superman over weaker incarnations such as the adult Kal-El of New Earth.
Prime and Sodam Yat battle each other in a brutal and fierce fight. It is clear that Prime is clearly more powerful than Yat, though Yat refuses to yield in any way. When the battle is taken inside a nuclear power plant with its walls lined with lead , Ion is obviously weakened by lead poisoning to the point that he can not even really fight back against Prime.
Prime spears Ion with several lead rods, then beats him unconscious and leaves Yat for dead until the Guardians prevent him from actually killing Yat. Prime takes this opportunity to turn on him and throws the Anti-Monitor into deep space.
Prime is then attacked by both Corps and kills several members from both sides. Before any more lives can be lost, one of the Guardians uses himself as a living bomb and detonates himself to kill Prime. The explosion does not kill Prime, but merely transports him into the Multiverse.
An unexpected result of the transport was that Prime's atoms are infused with a large portion of the Guardian's own energies that the Guardian thought would destroy Prime. The infusion of the Guardian's energy as part of his energy absorption and processing ability restructures his body to now appear as a fully adult man rather than his actual age of only Countdown During Countdown, the now adult-looking Superman-Prime has started a murderous rampage against all of his other dimensional counterparts and their supporters while searching for Earth-Prime.
Superman-Prime was shown killing the Superman of the Earth dimension and his wife and unborn child. During his torture, Mxyzptlk reveals to Superman-Prime that his aging to adulthood was from him absorbing the cosmic Oan powers of the Guardian that blew himself up to kill him during the Sinestro Corps War. He also tells Superman-Prime that the cosmic energies will wear off very soon, and then he will turn back into a boy.
After he escapes, Prime is angered and gives up on the use of magic to achieve his goals. After finding out about the so-called perfect universe which he thinks is his original source universe, Superman-Prime heads off to the Monitor's satellite headquarters, threatening the brutal Earth-8 Monitor Solomon to help him find this recreated Earth-Prime.
Superman-Prime demands to know where this "perfect universe" is. Seeking to manipulate the infinite powered Superman-Prime to defeat the Monitors' forces against those of Monarch for the Monitors, Solomon sends Superman-Prime to Earth As Solomon predetermined, the successfully manipulated Superman-Prime flies to the battlefield to challenge Monarch, in order to keep him from destroying Earth
