The only way for Kon-El to get his powers is to supress his human DNA (using the shields). But because of the side effects, he would just end up like Match. He would be a wild animal, and after all the progress he has made emotionally in the last 5 years, it be a shame to lose all that. I like Superboy wear he is now; a strong character and role model to the freshmen, who tries to live up to his potential, but knows his limits as well
