*Every* Superboy is out there in a Hypertimeline somewhere, including 
the original Kal-El of Earth-1. But they're generally not accessible, 
and--with a few notable exceptions over the past few years--extremely 
unlikely to show up in any in-continuity DC book.

New, different Earth-2 from the one you remember, pre-Crisis. (Though 
functionally the same in many ways as the old Earth-3.)

Only Ultra Boy bears any significant resemblance, for me, to his 
pre-Crisis and pre-reboot character. Mon-El and the original Superboy 
aren't around anymore, though M'onel is an interesting character in his 
own right, as far as I'm concerned.
