starling in the comics when superboy debuted he didnt have any kryptonian powers but this thing called tactile telekinesis (no i dont know why its called that) that he was able to use to mimic kryptonian powers, eventually he gained real kryptonian powers and the telekinesis was phased out, probably so his powers didnt sound so stupid
