[1] Conduit first appeared in Superman: The Man of Steel #0 and was created by Dan Jurgens and Louise Simonson.

[2] Kenny Braverman is born on route to a hospital as the infant Kal-El's starship lands on Earth, exposing him to Kryptonite radiation that alters his biology.

Kenny Braverman appears in a flashback when Psycho-Pirate uses his Medusa Mask to make Superman relive his history.

He has two extendable cables with which he can ensnare an opponent as well as fire blasts of Kryptonite radiation.

Conduit also learned how to channel this energy he gave off back into his body to enhance his strength to a point where he could physically compete with Superman.
