**Clark Kent** (born 1979 as **Kal-El**) is the son of the late Jor-El and the late Lara Lor-Van. After being rocketed to Earth as a baby from the dying planet of Krypton alongside his older cousin, Kara, who remained stuck in the Phantom Zone - thus arriving un-aged 24 years later - he was discovered by Jonathan and Martha Kent, a couple of kindly humans who raised him as their son in the little town of Smallville, Kansas, imbuing him with strong moral values and leading for him to decide to fight for truth, justice, and the American way.

In his secret identity, he works as a reporter at the Daily Planet in the city of Metropolis, while secretly operating as one of the planet's greatest protectors; the world-famous superhero known as **Superman**.

Following the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths, Clark's home universe was destroyed and he now resides on Earth-Prime.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Kryptonian physiology:** Normally, Clark's physical capacities are no greater than a normal human of his conditioning. However, once charged by the energy spectrum of a yellow star, he possesses various superhuman attributes. As he continues to push his limits, he will continue to grow more powerful. Having spent nearly his entire life under a yellow sun, he possesses greater strength and skill compared to any other kryptonian. Able to overpower several Kryptonians at once, Clark stands as the most powerful being on Earth and one of the most powerful in the entire multiverse.
	+ **Solar Energy Absorption**: Clark's cellular structure allows him to absorb, store and metabolize the wavelength of yellow sun radiation to fuel all of his abilities. Direct exposure to sunlight will also accelerate his absorption rate. Having being constantly exposed to yellow sunlight and maturing with it since infancy has given him a greater supply of solar energy compared to other kryptonians.
		- **Superhuman Strength**: One of Clark's primary abilities is his tremendous superhuman strength. Able to lift a massive submarine, Clark's strength is such that he can best other empowered kryptonians with relative ease. The sheer might in his strikes can produce powerful shockwaves.
		- **Superhuman Durability**: Clark possesses extraordinary superhuman durability and he is virtually indestructible. He can endure crushing weights, energy attacks, and extreme temperatures. He can also survive harsh environments such as underwater and outer space unprotected. Due to his lifetime in the young sun, Clark's durability is noticeably greater than other Kryptonians. Even compared to Tal-Rho, who could only get close to the sun while merged with the Eradicator, Clark could survive entering the sun while letting his cells recharged, although he was endured great pain during which.
		- **Superhuman Speed**: Clark can move and run immense speeds, far beyond the speed of sound, able to cross global distances and catch a speeding bullet in his bare hands.
			* **Superhuman reflexes:** Clark's speed extends to his reflexes as well, as he can respond to danger within milliseconds and keep up with other superfast individuals in combat.
			* **Superhuman Agility:** Clark's natural balance, agility, and body coordination are enhanced to superhuman levels.
		- **Superhuman Stamina:** Clark possesses extraordinary stamina. He doesn't need to eat, sleep, or even breathe if he is continuously powered by the yellow sun of Earth. Hence, he can survive flying into outer space and diving underwater.
		- **Superhuman Hearing**: Clark possesses tremendous auditory awareness, allowing him to detect sounds from miles away. He can also use this power to detect a person's heartbeat and blood pressure, and can tell when they are excited or anxious. He could even detect his son across a vast distance with this ability.
		- **Superhuman Smell**: Clark possesses an amazing olfactory sense, well beyond that of a human. He is able to tell if someone is nervous by smelling if their adrenaline has increased.
		- **Heat Vision**: Clark is capable of projecting highly concentrated beams of energy from his eyes. These blasts of energy are so powerful that they can cut through almost anything, such as solid stone or thick steel, or he can lower their intensity for mundane task like heating up food. They can be narrowed for more precise task or intensified in order to repel high durability targets.
		- **Superhuman vision**: Clark possesses superhuman eyesight that encompasses a variety of sensory capabilities including telescopic, infrared, ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma-ray visual capabilities that allow him to see the entire electromagnetic spectrum when he desires, through mental focus.
			* **Microscopic Vision:** Clark possesses the ability to see extremely small objects and images beyond subatomic level.
			* **X-ray vision**: Clark can focus his vision past layers of matter to see through them, with the exception of objects and surfaces that are lined with lead.
			* **Night vision:** Clark can see clearly in the dark as if it was day.
		- **Flight**: By manipulating his gravitational field, Clark is able to defy gravity which enables him to fly. Clark's flight speeds are supersonic, allowing him to cover vast distances in a matter of minutes.
		- **Super Breath:** Thanks to his incredible lung capacity, Clark is also able to draw in large amounts of air and then expel it all to create gale and hurricane force winds. He can also chill his breath to freeze targets, able to momentarily stop other kryptonians.
		- **Accelerated Healing Factor**: Clark's empowered cells possessed exceptional regenerative capabilities. Direct exposure to sunlight would magnify this ability. He can recover from broken bokes and damaged tissue in a matter of minutes.
			* **Advanced Longevity:** Clark's healing factor also keeps him in optimal health and decreases the rate of his aging by a high degree granting him a life span that is several millennia long.

### Weaknesses

* **Red Starlight**: When exposed to the same red solar radiation as Krypton’s red sun Rao, it replaces the higher-yield yellow solar energy in Clark's cells, robbing him of the fuel for his powers and weakening him. However, due to a lifetime of yellow sunlight exposure, his powers only gradually decline.
* **Kryptonite:** He is vulnerable to kryptonite, radioactive remnants of his home planet Krypton. The known variations of kryptonite affect him in different ways. Like Kryptonians, kryptonite is affected by Earth's yellow sun which gives these rocks abilities that greatly influence them. Clark can protect himself from kryptonite radiation using lead. Removal of the substance reverses the effects.
	+ **Green kryptonite:** Exposure to Green kryptonite renders Clark physically weak and mentally ill: the effects will make Clark weaker the longer he's exposed to its radiation. Weapons made from the substance can penetrate Clark's otherwise indestructible body. However, due to a lifetime of yellow sunlight exposure, Clark has developed a tolerance to green kryptonite, able to move and fight when when exposed to larger amounts compared to other kryptonians.
* **Solar energy depletion:** When deprived of Yellow sunlight to empower him, Clark's abilities would slowly begin to fade, thus requiring Clark to recharge.
	+ **Solar energy extraction:** Should the solar energy in him be forcibly removed, it can cause extreme cellular damage to Clark. In addition to impairing his body to absorb more energy and leaving him visibly exhausted, it will take him weeks if not months for his body to recover and regain his powers.
* **Lead:** Even with Clark's X-ray vision, he cannot see through lead.
* **High frequencies**: His super-hearing makes him vulnerable to intense, high frequency sounds. However, Clark is able to function despite the pain it causes him.
