Kon is tired of Kryptonian trying to bully him (Superboy vs General Zod)

This is an interesting match-up, unfortunately it's not in the Boy of Steels favor, though. General Zod is an exceptionally powerful Kryptonian, and while Kon's unique moveset may delay the inevitable, it is still the inevitable.

AP/Dura- It's clear that Zod takes this category. We can look to their bouts with similar characters, Kon and Supergirl can tussle with each-other, whereas an enraged Zod sort of bats her aside. Durability though, maybe Kon could edge out; his Supernatural Willpower adds to this section too, keeping him going even as he's getting his shit rocked. Same with his TK-enhanced regeneration, knitting damaged organs and open wounds like he's a surgeon or some shit.

Lifting Strength- Zod restrains one-handed here, which is pretty big, as a trained General he could easily emphasize this to swing Kon around or do some fancy lock that Kon doesn't have a snowballs chance in Hell of breaking free of.

Abilities- This is probably the only category Superboy takes. Thanks to his unique TTK he has a plethora of abilities he could use here, again, unfortunately though, most of these won't be a factor, but he does have many he could utilize; it just sucks that his main asset, Telekinesis, is sort of wasted here since Zod just overpowers by walking. Memory-wipe is a no-go here, Zod won't let him grab him for that long -- if at all, Durability Negation was an extremely specific moment, the only stone he can really throw right here is Hyper-Acceleration, which might even out the odds. Point for Kon at least.

Conclusion: This is a pretty decisive win for Zod, Superboy may be tough as nails but the General eats those for breakfast. I see the beginning of the fight edging out in Kon's favor though, having a versatile move set and abilities normal Kryptonian's don't have. This fight ends around the mid-game though, eventually Zod starts to up the ante and all Superboy could do is dodge and reinforce his shielding. He's going to start tearing through his telekinetic pushes and swatting aside his heat vision, getting in close isn't an option either. That'd be the worst case scenario, even. Kon might hurtle a multitude of boulders, might knock Zod to the center of the Earth, or even into space -- and the General would bite back twice the force. Eventually Kon gets held down and wailed on until he passes out or straight up dies.

Even if Kon managed to awaken Hyper Acceleration, he'd only be doing more damage; even if he becomes stronger than Zod. He can't out-grapple or out-skill him, increasing Zod's gravity might slow him down but that's only going to last until he gets annoyed and fries the entire area with Heat Vision. At that point, Zod might just get him in a headlock and break his neck.

(Also want to note, if at any point in this fight that Zod finds out Superboy is a clone, then it's lights-out early on)

While Kon might have the slightest AP disadvantage at the start (tho it's moreso because of his mental stuff rather than him being far weaker), at the later parts of his run, right before his death, he got much better scaling from Jon. Jon was essentially meant to vs >>>> other metas, including his father. Iirc, it was hinted that at the start, he might have killed his father first before the timeline rearrangements.

On top of that, Kon has stat amps that can increase his powers via various means - i.e. power absorption scaling to Jon (since all his abilities are based on him and some more).

So, idk if AP advantage is a viable wincon.

In addition to, Zod isn't inherently stronger than say, Superman or Supergirl. he is just more ruthless.

Ngl, I completely forgot about the Rebirth scaling for his LS.

Why would it not be factor? See, for example, his info analysis, danger sense, esp and enhanced senses, etc are gonna be more than enough to counter a lot of things Zod throws at him. On top of that, he has forcefields and attack reflection among a few other abilities that would give him a heavy edge.
but he does have many he could utilize; it just sucks that his main asset, Telekinesis, is sort of wasted here since Zod just overpowers by walking.

Conclusion: This is a pretty decisive win for Zod,
I disagree. The biggest wincon for Zod is probably his skills and LS. I wouldn't call that a decisive win.

LS could be useful for Kon's favour imo. If Zod grabs him for an extended period of time (few seconds will be more than enough), he can just use his TK on him, which goes for mental attacks or also kinda ***** with their organs and shit - like blood stuff.

And considering how Zod fights, he wouldn't shy away from holding him in a headlock while he talks down about how he is beating the enemy of krypton and whatnot. Which gives Kon enough time to TK him.

Superboy may be tough as nails but the General eats those for breakfast.
Based on what?
I see the beginning of the fight edging out in Kon's favor though
I see it completely different. Kon doesn't go all out. He is a strategist more than a brawler type. He will go easy and start analysing stuff before using his Hax.
. This fight ends around the mid-game though,
How and why?
eventually Zod starts to up the ante and all Superboy could do is dodge and reinforce his shielding.
And attack via earth and stuff you know
He's going to start tearing through his telekinetic pushes and swatting aside his heat vision,
Physical (for the lack of better word) TK pushes via LS, sure. Heat vision? How exactly? They are as potent as each others.
getting in close isn't an option either. That'd be the worst case scenario, even. Kon might hurtle a multitude of boulders, might knock Zod to the center of the Earth, or even into space -- and the General would bite back twice the force.
He would. Which would actually be in Kon's favour. Zod would go for the usual rush of physical attacks and arrogance stuff.
Eventually Kon gets held down and wailed on until he passes out or straight up dies.
?
Even if Kon managed to awaken Hyper Acceleration, he'd only be doing more damage; even if he becomes stronger than Zod. He can't out-grapple
While true, you are forgetting how he Zod fights and how Kon just needs to touch him
or out-skill him
Sure. Which Kon's skills aren't bad, Zod is different for sure.
increasing Zod's gravity might slow him down but that's only going to last until he gets annoyed and fries the entire area with Heat Vision
Which would do what exactly?
. At that point, Zod might just get him in a headlock and break his neck.
See what I wrote earlier
(Also want to note, if at any point in this fight that Zod finds out Superboy is a clone, then it's lights-out early on)
He will find out immediately probably. Based on name.

Here is my take on this. If Zod goes rage mode and one shot, Kon will go down. But that doesn't seem too much within character - especially with an enemy like this. Kon's history on krypton is very well known and Zods character wouldn't let him to one shot.

He will try to show who the superior person is and how he is beating him and whatnot. Which actually works in Kon's favour.
