## Biography

Decades ago, the planet Krypton, 50 light-years from Earth, was home to a race renowned for their scientific and technological advancement. The Kryptonians became enamored in their pursuit of knowledge and soon fell prey to an aloofness. They placed all of their needs and worries upon an artificial intelligence named Brainiac. A young and brash scientist, Jor-El began to conduct his own geological research, after the birth of his son, Kal-El. Jor-El came to the startling conclusion that a chain of explosions would destroy the planet. There was no interstellar fleet present. Jor-El created a small vessel, a life boat, that one volunteer would ride and rest of the Kryptonian race would be temporarily stored in the Phantom Zone. The Council scoffed at this, the Zone housed the worst of Krypton's criminal fringe and alien threats. Brainiac also dismissed Jor-El's claims while planning its own escape. Jor-El discovered Brainiac's betrayal and barely got away with his life. **Jor-El and his wife Lara decided to place their son, Kal-El in the life boat and set the navigational system to a remote planet with a yellow sun in its solar system. A holo cube with the history of Krypton, along with the Phantom Zone Projector, were placed in the ship. One day, Kal-El would be old enough to activate these devices and learn of his legacy. The ship and dozens of shards of Krypton arrived on Earth. Kal-El landed near Smallville, Kansas in the United States of America. He was discovered by a young couple, Jonathan and Martha Kent. The couple was having a difficulty in conseiving a child of their own. Martha Kent named Kal-El, Clark, after her maiden name. Clark Kent was raised with love, morals and ethics, just as Lara-El hoped he would be.** In his teenage years, Kent excelled in his studies despite being caught day dreaming. Something else happened, too. Kent's body had been absorbing the radiation of the yellow sun and developed a range of super powers. He was confused and unsure of himself and couldn't confide in his best friend, Lana Lang. Kent saved a family of tourists from an explosion and emerged unscathed. The Kent's decided it was time to reveal the ship to their son. Despite some hesitance and anger, Kent came to accept his heritage. After graduating high school, he left Smallville and went on a journey of exploration. Martha Kent collected newspaper headlines of a mystery man coming to the rescue of others.

## Powers With Abilities

### Extraordinary Kryptonian Powers

* **REGULAR KRYPTONIAN PHYSIOLOGY:** Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Superman possesses the same potential powers as an average Kryptonian.
