Match (also known as Project Match) is a genomorph, and the first clone of Superman.[1]
Personality
Match's behavior is feral; he seems unable to form words, and is aggressive even without provocation. He reacts strongly to the Superman-shield, though is attached to it himself. After his clothing was damaged, he branded himself with a new logo with his heat vision.[1]
Physical appearance
Match appears exactly like Superboy, his younger brother, with one notable difference: his eyes have black sclera, light blue irises and black pupils.[1]
He has a self-inflicted brand on his chest, resembling the S-shield, though in mirror image.[1]
History
Early life
Match was created some time before Project Kr, as a first attempt to clone a Kryptonian.[1]

Powers and abilities
As a genetic clone of Superman, he has the normal abilities of a Kryptonian who has absorbed the solar energy of a yellow sun.[1] As of now, his powers include:
Equipment
- Solar suit: Match dons a white solar suit with a red Superman S-symbol on the chest. The suit allowed him to absorb yellow sun radiation to fuel his powers even underground.
Appearances
Background in other media
- Match was a clone of Superboy, created by the Agenda. Though at first, he was able to pass on as his template, and on multiple occasions acted as an impostor, eventually his DNA broke down and he became closer to a Bizarro.
- Match at one point uses his heat vision to burn an S-shield in his chest; this is a reference to Superboy-Prime. The backwards S is common among Bizarro versions of Superman.
- This is his first animated appearance.
