==Biography==
===Early life===
Clark was born Kal-El , in 1979 as the second-born son of Lara Lor-Van and her husband, Jor-El. As children were traditionally genetically engineered, Kal was a notable exception, as being the first naturally born Kryptonian in generations. Prior to this union, Lara learned she had another son named Tal-Rho. Despite not being able to reach him because Zeta wouldn't allow it, Lara hoped her sons would meet one day. 
 
As Krypton was dying, Kal-El's biological parents feared for their son's life and sent him off-world to Earth. But not before he Departed with his father's AI. He crash-landed in Smallville, Kansas, where he was found by the Kents, Jonathan and Martha. The couple adopted him and named him "Clark Kent." Due to his alien physiology, Clark had special unique abilities that made it challenging for both of his parents. At age four, his powers manifested, but it did not stop him from having a happy childhood. When he was old enough, Clark remembered his mother was always planning Smallville's annual Harvest festival. This taught him about lessons that involved giving back to others.
 
As a teenager, he began attending Smallville High School, where Clark met his best friends, Pete, and Lana Lang, the latter of whom he would date and Kyle Cushing. His favorite teacher was Lois Hannigan and soon, he and Lana began dating. When he was attending high school, he was also a reporter for the school newspaper. In the ninth grade, Clark attempted to join the baseball team; however, Jonathan refused to let Clark try out.
 
When he and Lana were both dating, Clark, Lana, and Pete went to a Soul Asylum concert. However, during the drive home, Pete fell asleep at the wheel, causing their car to go off the side of the road. Lana passed out but Clark managed to pull himself, Pete, and Lana out of the car, leaving it unscathed but the car was destroyed.
Losing his adoptive father
When Martha was planning the year's Harvest Festival, Jonathan suddenly died of a heart attack without warning. A devastated Clark couldn't stand to stay at Jonathan's funeral and ran off.
===Leaving Smallville===
A year after his father's death, Clark began using his powers to help people. He began running around Smallville as a teenage vigilante despite his mother's protests. He wore a ski-mask to conceal his identity. In one incident, he scared robbers into submitting to returning what they stole by scaring them with his super strength and invulnerability. This led to an argument between himself and his mother. Martha realized it was time for Clark to leave. Before her son left, Martha gave him the crystal that was found in his ship when he crashed
