***Biography***

Following his homeworld Krypton's destruction, Kal-El is sent by his parents to Earth, where he is adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who named him "Clark", and raised in Smallville, Kansas. Growing up, Clark became isolated from humanity due to his superhuman abilities which he had developed overtime due to Earth's yellow sun. In the present-day, Clark works as an intern for the *Daily Planet* in Metropolis in which he also serves coffee to the workers. One day, he meets S.T.A.R. Labs janitor Rudy Jones, who informs Clark about extra-terrestrial experiments going on inside the lab, while attending the launch of a LexCorp orbital rocket telescope hosted by Lex Luthor. After reporter Lois Lane exposes Luthor of gross negligence leading to his arrest, the rocket misdirects to Metropolis. As the Flying Man, Clark throws it back into space. Unbeknownst to Clark, he is being watched by a mysterious figure dressed in a trench coat.

When S.T.A.R. Labs detect a UFO coming towards Earth, Clark heads to investigate, only to find himself confronting an alien bounty hunter named Lobo. Lobo reveals that Clark is the last of his kind and has a bounty on him, which Lobo is after, leading into a fight between the two across Metropolis. Clark takes the fight elsewhere to S.T.A.R. Labs causing an explosion with Rudy caught in the crossfire and gets covered in purple liquid. Lobo discovers Clark's weakness is Kryptonite that was forged in his ring and uses it to beat him up with it. The figure arrives, exposing himself as a Martian, and intervenes the battle. As the Martian distracts Lobo, Clark uses the sun to heal himself, returning to finally defeat Lobo. Afterwards, Clark faces a dilemma of whether he should reveal himself to the world or keep his identity a secret despite the consequences. That night, a hospitalised Rudy awakens and discovers he has the ability to drain energy from life and turn people into husks. The Martian visits Clark in his home in Smallville and properly introduces himself as J'onn. J'onn reveals to Clark his true origins and that they must keep themselves a secret to humanity due their history of Xenophobia.

Martha gifts Clark a caped suit made of fabric with an "S" imprinted on the back while the media officially coin the Flying Man as "Superman". A monster attacks S.T.A.R. Labs to find answers but frees Lobo in the process after draining the energy from his cell. However, due to draining energy, the monster is converted into a parasite-like being and begins attacking Metropolis, endangering its civilians. Superman and J'onn head to battle the Parasite. While battling them, the Parasite manages to extract information from them; although as a result, Superman's abilities are drained and J'onn is burnt to death. A powerless Superman turns to an imprisoned Luthor for help to gain him access to space so he can use the sun to restore his abilities. Luthor agrees to help Superman. Through S.T.A.R. Labs CCTV footage, Superman realises Rudy is the Parasite thanks to Lobo's grenade which allowed Rudy to be absorbed with the purple liquid from the lab. The two formulate a plan to defeat the Parasite by shutting down Metropolis' power and lure him to a power plant so that the Parasite can absorb its power, which would kill it if it absorbed all of it. Luthor also reveals he had recruited Lobo to his cause to use his Kryptonite ring in an attempt to weaken the Parasite's absorbed Kryptonian abilities.

As their plan commences, the ring fails and the military intervene, only to make the Parasite stronger. Luthor equips the ring to a LexCorp magnifying pulse rifle and shoots the Parasite with it, taking it down. He then attempts to double cross Superman with it but is stopped by an alive J'onn, who reveals his death was just a projection he created. Luthor flees with J'onn following. With the plan failed, Superman then attempts to calm the Parasite down by using his morality against him. While doing so, Superman properly introduces himself to the world. Suddenly, the plant's reactor begins to overload. With Superman still weak, the Parasite sacrifices himself to stop it. The following day, Superman and J'onn depart ways before Lobo reveals there might be more Martians and Kryptonians out there.

An undetermined time later Clark is seen fighting "Brainiac" along with the Flash before Barry mysteriously disappears but later Barry returns, saves his life and tells him what happened on "Earth-2"
