In a period when the popularity of superheroes was generally in decline, the adventures of Superboy became increasingly popular. </p><p>Three years after the move to <i>Adventure Comics</i>, Superboy became only the sixth DC superhero to receive his own comic book when <i><a href="/wiki/Superboy_(comic_book)" title="Superboy (comic book)">Superboy</a></i> #1 debuted in 1949. <i>Superboy</i> became the first new superhero title to succeed since World War II. </p><p>The first Superboy story also updated the <a href="/wiki/Origin_of_Superman" title="Origin of Superman">origin of Superman</a>, and for the first time shows his father Jor-El as being aware that his son Kal-El would have powers on Earth that he does not have on Krypton.

Superboy's powers are identical to those of Superman, including enhanced strength, speed, vision, and hearing, plus flight and invulnerability. </p><p>Though clearly superhero stories, Superboy's earliest adventures shared features with non-superhero comics of the late 1940s.

Nine issues after their feature debut, the Legion displaced Superboy as the lead feature in <i>Adventure Comics</i>, and soon forced original Superboy stories out altogether. Superboy's last consecutive original story in <i>Adventure Comics</i> #315 (1963) ended a run of 213 original Superboy features in the series. </p><p>Superboy still appeared in nearly every Legion story through <i>Adventure Comics</i> #380 (1969). In the next issue, the Legion was replaced by Supergirl, while the Legion (usually without Superboy) took over Supergirl's spot as the backup in <i>Action Comics</i>. In 1971, the Legion moved over to <i>Superboy</i> as a semi-regular backup. History repeated itself as the Legion backup feature quickly became more popular than the title feature. Beginning with <i>Superboy</i> #197 (1973), the cover logo was changed to read <i>Superboy starring the Legion of Super-Heroes</i>, and the Legion, including Superboy, took the lead spot in the comic. </p><p>The Superboy backup in #197 was the last original Superboy feature to appear in his own title. With the next issue, <i>Superboy</i> became an exclusively Legion of Super-Heroes title, with Superboy appearing in every issue as a Legion member. The series title remained <i>Superboy</i> through #230 (1977), after which the series became <i>Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes</i> from #231-258. With <i>Legion of Super-Heroes</i> (vol. 2) #259 (1980), an issue in which Superboy leaves the Legion, Superboy's name was ousted from the title altogether. Though he still sometimes appeared in the series that once bore his name, the series remained a Legion comic until its last issue, #354 (1987). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Later_publishing_history">Later publishing history</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Superboy_(Kal-El)&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Later publishing history"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>After the Legion took over Superboy's own title, the solo Superboy feature itself was nearly moribund. For over three years, DC published no solo Superboy feature story. Then the strip was revived for a stand-alone story in <i>DC Super-Stars</i> #12 (1977). Several months later, the Superboy feature returned to a regular publication schedule when the strip returned to its second home. Superboy headlined <i>Adventure Comics</i> for issues #453-458 (1977-1978), and then moved to <i>The Superman Family</i>, appearing in issues #191-198 (1978-1979). Finally, in late 1979, DC Comics gave Superboy his own comic again. The release of <i>The New Adventures of Superboy</i> #1 (January 1980) coincided with Superboy's (temporary) departure from the Legion in <i>The Legion of Super-Heroes</i> #259, as well as the one-shot <i>Superboy Spectacular</i> #1. </p><p>Much as Superboy's debut in <i>Adventure Comics</i> depicts Clark celebrating his tenth birthday, <i>The New Adventures of Superboy</i> #1 features Clark celebrating his sixteenth birthday and includes a flashback to Clark's first days as Superboy at the time of his eighth birthday.
