Sphere

The New Genesphere, affectionately known as Sphere, is an extraterrestrial artifact from the world of New Genesis.

Personality
She apparently possesses some form of intelligent awareness and has attached herself to Superboy.

Physical appearance
Sphere appears to be a metallic ball approximately 5 feet in diameter with a circular feature containing a pattern of lines and dots that glow indicating possible communication or reaction. She is capable of autonomous movement by rolling. Sphere can transform into assorted machinery, including a motorcycle-like vehicle which Wally has named "the Super Cycle".

Early life
The New Genesphere belonged to the Forever People, but it was stolen by Apokoliptian forces.

Present
The Light's extraterrestrial partner tested their transportation system by sending the Sphere through. She was taken in, tortured, and experimented on by Psimon's troops.

Following the intervention of the Team, Sphere was freed and helped Superboy and Miss Martian escape from Psimon. She followed them back to the Bio-Ship in Qurac.

The Sphere saw Superboy and Miss Martian off before their first day of School. She also showed a bit of playful jealousy when Superboy was working on his bike.

The Sphere attempted to join the Team on their trip to Northern India but Superboy forbade her.



After his psychology session with Black Canary, Superboy decided to go riding with Wolf. Sphere blocked their path, and transformed into a large wheeled bike.

The trio was ambushed by the Forever People, who at first thought Superboy had stolen the Sphere. She cleared up the misunderstanding by explaining that Superboy rescued it from captivity. They decided to track down their stolen technology together.

In a battle with Desaad, the Sphere was wounded, but she managed to save the day. The Forever People's combined form, Infinity-Man, was taken over by a Father Box, but by clamping on its head, Sphere allowed Superboy control of the behemoth.

The Forever People started healing her with their Mother Box, and intended to take her home to finish the process. Superboy told them that they bonded and that he didn't think of her as technology but as a lifeform, and was allowed to keep her.
