Superman (DCMU)

==History==
===Origin===
In 1983, Superman was born on the dying planet Krypton as Kal-El to Jor-El and Lara Van-El. A year later, moments away from being destroyed completely by the super computer Braniac, an infant Kal-El was sent to the planet Earth, where he stood a chance of survival. Landing in a cornfield in Smallville, Kansas, the young Kal-El was adopted by Johnathan and Martha Kent, a couple who couldn't give birth by themselves. The couple raised the infant, and gave him the name Clark Kent, explaining to friends that he was their nephew who was recently orphaned. 
===Adolescent Years===
In 2003, a 17 year-old Clark felt ridiculed indirectly by his classmates. They throw negative names about aliens around, and Clark feels more and more like an outcast. As an attempt to help him feel more connected to his alien roots, his mother handed him the Kryptonian codex for the first time. 
===Becoming Superman===
In between 2006 and 2009, Clark was operating as "The Blur", Metropolis' very own superhero. He wore a costume made up of a blue longsleeve (no insignia), red pants, and a mask. These were all knitted by his mother before he began operating as a hero, from the very fabric he was swaddled in as a baby. At the same time he became the Blur, he began his internship at the Daily Planet, hoping to become a reporter. 
As the Blur, Clark was very private in his heroics. He rarely spoke to the public, and they didn't really understand who was protecting them. In this time, he as constantly slandered by LexCorp CEO and soon to be mayor Lex Luthor. Also, sometime during 2009, Lois Lane deduced his identity as Clark Kent. 
===Events of Son of Krypton===
In 2009, Clark Kent was made a reporter at the Daily Planet. Eventually, he gave in and agreed to his first interview with Lois Lane, who dubbed him Superman. She also revealed that she knew his identity as the Blur. Later on, he meets Metallo for the first time, a robot created by Professor Ivo and Luthor. After discovering his weakness to Metallo's Kryptonite heart, he loses the fight and blacks out. He is saved by his cousin Kara and a Martian named J'onn J'onnz. Waking up in the Fortress of Solitude, he has his Kryptonian roots explained to him by Kara and an advanced hologram of his father. There, he dons the original Superman suit and leaves again to defeat Metallo with Kara. 
Seeing as he can't yet fly, Kara teaches him before they help J'onn in his fight against Metallo. Superman fights Metallo, and finds out that he still needs oxygen to respirate and function. Used to the Kryptonite, Superman pushes Metallo into space where he can't breathe. Superman is about to throw Metallo into the Sun, but Metallo self-destructs and explodes, releasing Kryptonite particles into the air. Superman is weakened, and is about to accept his death in Space, until J'onn telepathically links his father's voice into his mind. He regenerates from the rays of the Sun, and booms back down to Earth. 
Seeing as J'onn was being ridiculed for being an alien by the very citizens he saved, Superman revealed himself to the public for the first time: as Kal-El and Superman. He then helps clean up, and heads back to the Fortress with Kara. At the Fortress, Superman sees Lex Luthor on the news announce his run for Presidency. Later, he spoke with Martian Manhunter about the possibility of more Green Martians being out in the galaxy, and J'onn left for the cosmos.
