Good overall summary, but given the mess that DC's continuity has been, it's not completely complete.  I seem to remember that the Pocket Universe Superboy was erased in Zero Hour, but then replaced with a duplicate Hypertime version.

Looking at that splash from Infinite Crisis (what is Krypto doing in there?) reminds me of this old panel:



Poor Kon just keeps getting clobbered by Superboys...

And let's not forget Superboy One Million, the one-millionth actual clone of Superboy, and his One Million Army Corps of clone brothers.

My favourite Iron Age Superboy concept.
