## Biography

### Early Life

Born Kal-El on the planet Krypton to Jor-El and Lara. With planet on the verge of destruction, his parents launch him off the planet in a shuttle to ensure his survival to Earth because of it's suitable atmosphere. The pod lands on Earth near Smallville, Kansas and is discovered by the Kents who raise Kal as their own son, naming him Clark. Throughout his childhood he realized he had powers he didn't understand. His adoptive father shows him where he was found in and finds a crystal inside the shuttle. Years later the crystal leads him to the Arctic Circle where he places it in the ice which forms into a fortress. There he meets a hologram of his true father who tells him about his true origins and reveals to him that due to his dense molecular structure he developed superhuman abilities when he arrived on Earth. The hologram guides Clark with his powers and gives him a uniform with the House of El symbol on it and takes off.

### Arrival in Metropolis

Clark moved to Metropolis and became a reporter for the Daily Planet. There he met Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen. After seeing numerous crimes take place across the city Clark decided to use his powers to right for justice. He captures the public eye as the hero Superman and Lois starts to investigate him. He started to go after gangster Bruno Mannheim who was selling advanced weapons to criminals and terrorists worldwide. One day during when Clark was out with Lois they stopped by a mugger who shot Clark and then ran away Lois discovered Clark was okay and discovered he was Superman. She keeps his identity a secret and helps him with his campaign against Mannheim. They both discovered that Mannheim's supplier was Lex Luthor the owner of Lexcorp.

### Going after Luthor

Lois and Clark try to get evidence on Luthor's ties with Intergang, but his tracks are always covered. Clark finds out Luthor has hired mercenary assassin Deathstroke to eliminate clients who threaten him. When Clark confronts him he discovers Deathstroke has superhuman abilities but Clark manages to defeat him. After Clark brings him into custody, he escapes and disappears.

### An Old Family Affair

Clark then faced his next enemy, General Zod and his followers. Zod planned to turn Earth into another Krypton by wiping out all humans with him ruling and making Clark his slave as revenge for his father imprisoning him in the Phantom Zone. Clark also finds out Zod was accidentally released when Luthor was experimenting with inter dimensional travel. In the escalating fight Clark manages to send Zod and his followers back into the Phantom Zone.

### Trinity

While Lois and Clark were investigating Luthor, the pair met billionaire Bruce Wayne and Cerberus Technologies executive Diana Prince. Clark believed Bruce and Diana were dealing weapons with Luthor. While busting an Intergang arms deal he encountered Batman, to whom he offered help to but was refused. He used his X-Ray vision to see through the mask and discovered Bruce Wayne was Batman. He revealed the information to Lois and the two confront Bruce who deduces Clark's identity as Superman. Afterwards the two costumed fighters go see Diana who has also been spying on Luthor. The three decide to work to find out where Luthor is getting the technology to make advanced weapons. When they sneak into one of Luthor's labs they discover he has made contact with extraterrestrial life who have been giving him the technology. They are caught and the lab is destroyed along with evidence against Luthor who escapes. Knowing they exposed themselves to the alien threat they plan to gather others for the coming invasion.

### Justice League

Clark, Bruce and Diana traveled to Central City, Coast City and the Atlantic Ocean and fought against invading flying humanoids. During their fighting they encounter allies such as the Flash, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, and Arthur Curry. The six learn of the culprit behind the invasion is Darkseid who wishes to conquer the entire universe and track him to Metropolis where he is attempting to terraform the city. After a brief struggle they force him to retreat and later form the Justice League to protect the Earth from the most powerful threats.

### Brainiac Attack

Clark continued his campaign against Luthor as well fighting new enemies such his flawed clone Bizzaro, the insane Toyman, and the mutant Parasite. He also gained an ally in the Suicide Slums, Black Lightning.  He faced a new enemy when an alien ship arrived and trapped Metropolis in a dome. He discovered the mastermind behind the scheme is the same alien who left his planet to die, nicknamed Brainiac by the public. His plan is to shrink Metropolis with a piece of the Earth's core and add it to his collection of other civilizations he had left to die. Although Brainiac proved to be a challenge for Clark, he stops him by destroying his ship that controls the dome, along with his robot probe army and leaves him weakened. Brainiac is taken by A.R.G.U.S. while Clark takes the shrunken Kryptonian capital of Kandor to the Fortress of Solitude.
