## History

### Destruction of Krypton

Kal-El was born on the dying world of Krypton to the scientist Jor-El and his wife, Lara. He was only a few weeks old when the planet was on the verge of destruction after Zor-El, Kal-El's uncle ignited Krypton's core and General Zod's war on Krypton. In order to save their son, Jor-El and Lara placed their son in a rocket and jetted him off to Earth. As their son escaped, Lara wondered if the people of Earth world love and accept him. However, Jor-El assured his wife he will, as his pod was sending him to the family Lara and their niece, Kara had once observed when they were on Earth. Everyone in Kal-El's biological family was killed except for his cousin, who was also rocketed to Earth.

## Personality

### As Clark Kent

There were times Clark could not hold back his temper, especially when this involves his loved ones He shoved Lex up the wall when he believed the former killed Lana and effortlessly threw Lionel across the room for his father's death and forcing Lana to marry Lex.

### As the Blur

    Over time, Clark embraces himself as a full-fledged hero. Prior to this, Clark didn't want anything to do with his Kryptonian heritage because of what others expected him to be. After his encounters with Brainiac, bonding with Kara, Lana's departure and Lex's death, Clark embraced his destiny as a hero, culminating in Jimmy Olsen's published photograph of the super-powered "Red-Blue Blur" on the *Planet* front page and the citizens adopting that name for their own vigilante.

During his time as the Blur, he was publicly acknowledged but made sure no one noticed him. Instead, he left a burnt etching of his "House of El" symbol after coming out victorious of saving people from a crime. However, after Jimmy's death at the hands of Doomsday's human self, Clark was filled with extreme guilt when he was unable to save his friend. He fell out of touch with humanity, began wearing darker clothes, trained vigorously with Jor-El's A.I., and buried his previous relationships, believing these were tying him down. After embracing his Kryptonian heritage, Clark became more violent and less emotional. He put a witness in the hospital, lifted Tess off the ground by the throat, and threatening to destroy Zod and the Kandorians if they didn't stay away from Lois. However, Clark was taken aback by the Wonder Twins' well-intentioned but reckless actions to "help" the Blur and unwittingly tarnish his reputation.

### As Superman

Clark has become more mature, wise and level-headed. Superman still retains hot-temper but compared to Oliver, Clark has a more optimistic and cheerful attitude. His emblem has become a symbol of peace and justice. Before his death, Jor-El gave a cryptic message that said he would be a god among men with his powers and to "rule" humanity with his greatness. However, in truth, Jor-El meant Clark should use his powers for good and instead of "ruling" humanity, he means to protect it due to the younger status of the human race. Jonathan's spirit once told Clark that his actions would one day cause him to be a symbol of peace and justice. Additionally, both Lionel Luthor and Tess Mercer have supported the idea that Clark's destiny as Superman will one day, save the world.

After becoming a father, Clark has been supportive of his daughters when they resurrected the Wall of Weird at the *Torch*, helped Jordan come to terms with his bisexuality, and helps his foster son when he begins doubtuing his heritage as the son of Zod and Faora.

### Kal-El

“*I think our not-so-normal son might be going through some classic teenage rebellion.*”
―Martha Kent
When under the influence of red kryptonite, Clark's darker persona "Kal" appears. It removes all his inhibitions, practically turning him into an "Evil version" of Clark: greedy, lustful, and selfish. Martha (correctly) assumes that the while the green kryptonite affects him physically, then the red meteor rocks must affect him emotionally. His personality evolves every time Clark embraces his Kryptonian half. He became more rebellious, such as ditching Lana with Jessie and disobeying both Martha and Jonathan. when he first met Lionel Luthor, Kal insulted him, showing himself to be downright rude. Lionel was surprised by this, finding it unbelievable that a son raised by Jonathan and Martha would be an "unruly" offspring. He also likes to prove he is the "strongest person in the room" when he shot bullets into his hands. However, this (unintentionally) ignited Lionel's obsession about him. He is also sexually attracted to many females, including Jessie, Lana Lang, and Lois Lane. This involved buying two-thousand-dollar long coat and wanting to become more involved with Lex, a "bad boy" who resents his father. After failing to appeal himself, Clark went to Lex and wanted to run away to Metropolis to stay in Lex's penthouse.

However, this personality once again emerges when Clark's guilt for causing his mom to suffer a miscarriage and seeing Jonathan's disgust resorts him to take become Kal again by putting on the Red-kryptonite infected ring again. He became far more rebellious and gained a reputation as being a cold-harden and ruthless person. He coldly rebuffed Chloe with anger and violence when she attempted to convince him to return home and ignored both Lana and his mother's pleas. Without thinking of the consequences, "Kal" stole money from other people and unwittingly revealed to Morgan Edge he had powers. However, Jonathan was able to restore Clark when he destroyed the red kryptonite after acquiring Clark's powers from Jor-El.

As an adult, "Kal" becomes more ruthless and violent. He has, surprisingly, newfound respect for Zod and teamed up with his clone to destroy loads of Chloe's Kryptonite arsenal. However, Clark was turned to normal when he was stabbed with green kryptonite by John Corban, who was sent to turn Clark to normal.

## Powers and abilities

### Powers

* **Solar Battery:** All of Clark's powers are derived from the sun. The more solar energy he can receive the more his powers are exemplified. However they only work under the effects of a yellow sun. Red suns render him and his people powerless unless he is exposed to blue kryptonite with him.
	+ **Flight:** Clark manipulates his gravitational pull around him and is able to fly.
	+ **Accelerated Vision:** While standing still, Clark was able to see Emily Dinsmore moving at superhuman speed around him and Pete. He usually sees speeding bullets if he can.
		- **Heat Vision**
		- **X-Ray Vision**

(Hug) Clark was immune to Ryan James' mind-reading ability. (Stray) Psimon´s telepathic powers had no effect on Superman
		- **Accelerated Thought Process:** Clark can process information at incredible speeds, allowing him to analyze and come to conclusions at an unprecedented rate and perceive everything at a faster time frame, such as when he managed to assess his parents' expenses by listening to them discuss their financial situation, calculating the answer in his head in seconds. This power allows Clark is able to come up with full plans in mere seconds. This also allows Clark to perform multiple separate tasks at once, as his brains can process multiple independent trains of thought/function at the same time and his body is able to perform them without interfering/overlapping with the other actions, meaning he can use multiple powers at once if he needs to.

### ***Temporary Powers***

* **Telepathy**
* **Persuasion**

### **Abilities**

* **Intellect:** Clark is quite intelligent despite his occasional over-reliance on his powers and frequent tendency to be impulsive. When he was 14, he managed to outsmart corrupt veteran cop Sam Phelan twice. The first is by making it so he is in possession of a confidential file and leaving him for the oncoming police when he intentionally tripped the alarm. Though Phelan forced Clark into a tricky position after this when he framed Jonathan for murder, the young Kryptonian managed to ultimately outwit him a second time by throwing a priceless breastplate out of the museum window for the authorities to find, noting that it would be impossible for Phelan to avoid any charges that time due to his DNA being on the artifact. Later, when Eric Summers had accidentally acquired his powers and began behaving out of control, a normal Clark bested him by deducing that he also acquired his vulnerability to kryptonite and by exploiting his other weaknesses of blind rage and vast inexperience with Kryptonian powers compared to Clark himself. Sometime after that, Clark had managed to come to the right conclusions concerning Lex's history with Club Zero and to figure out how Lana developed her visions after a pipeline exploded in addition to the fact that her kidnapper was a police officer. He was also instrumental in deducing that it was Sheriff Ethan Miller that framed his father and formulated a successful plan to lure and catch the corrupt lawman. Clark was also able to outdo Van McNulty when the latter learned his weakness to kryptonite by building a lead vest and also figured out that a phone call concerning Lana's death was made from the future based on recent weather forecasts and sporting events. While struggling against Zod's fighting skill, Clark ultimately out-thought the general by tricking him into getting absorbed back into the Phantom Zone. He was also able to successfully come up with a plan to separate Doomsday from Davis Bloome to bury the former underground and to coordinate with Oliver Queen to outfox Zod in order to escape the Phantom Zone.
* **Advanced Hand-to-hand Combatant:** At first, Clark had no formal combat training but his superhuman physical abilities still made him extremely formidable, with even the most powerful of metahumans often being no real threat to him. While easily outclassed by more skilled and stronger (or equally strong but much more experienced) opponents, Clark showed himself to be not entirely powerless in close combat when without his powers, as he has developed a very powerful "right hook" and his regular physical condition can still easily equal and even surpass that of a highly strong human man, mostly due to his already muscular shape and peak-developed body; even displaying some intuitive fighting skill. He exploits the fact that no one expects him to fight back to land blows capable of instantly knocking his opponents out, which was surprisingly effective, as shown when he managed to subdue three metahumans, knock out any human opponent he fought with a single blow, and deal with many opponents during his time in the Phantom Zone. After fully immersing himself in his Kryptonian training, Clark became very proficient in hand-to-hand combat, which allowed him to equal, if not defeat, an adversary who would have previously easily outclassed him. This is later emphasized when he is able to defeat Alia, a highly trained Kryptonian soldier, relatively easily. This is emphasized even more when Clark is able to fight on par against Major Zod for an extended period of time despite Zod wielding a Kryptonian Knife, whereas the original Zod completely outclassed Clark before. He is also able to take out several of Zod's Gladiators as well as compete with Oliver Queen, a master hand-to-hand combatant, and almost defeat him while powerless in the Phantom Zone.
* **Swordsmanship:** Clark has proven that he's capable with a sword and shield, during his time within the Phantom Zone, when he fought Oliver Queen in Gladiator Match for Zod's amusement.
