**Superman**, birth name **Kal-El** and adopted name **Clark Kent**, was a Kryptonian and the premiere hero on Earth,often considered the first among equals of the founding members of the Justice League.

## Early life

Kal-El was an infant sent to Earth by his parents, Jor-El and Lara-El, prior to the destruction of their home planet Krypton. Kal-El's capsule landed near Smallville, Kansas where he was found by Jonathan Kent and Martha Kent and subsequently took a liking to both of them. The Kents adopted the young Kryptonian, naming him "Clark" after Martha's maiden name.

As a youth growing up in Smallville, Clark didn't fit in He finds the ship he was sent in. Clark is confused by this so Jonathan, his adopted father shows him his pod there he finds a hologram with the consciousness of his parents. There they explain everything to them why he was sent and why they are here. The holograms not only talk but they interact with clark, the kents, etc.

Jor-El says that he believes in humanity and knows that they can be force for good. Thus clark acknowledges his destiny. Soon things settle down, but soon at school a friend of his, Lana Lang gets picked on by bullies. Clark protecting her accidently breaks the arm of one of the bullies due to his strength. Horrified by this he doesn’t know if he should. But then his kryptonian parents tell to essentially nut up. Later when clark’s in high school, The Kryptonian parents reveal a secret compartment in the pod revealing a kryptonian costume, when clark tries it on, he asks what the s means. Lara says that it stands for hope.

### Hero of Metropolis

As an adult, he moved to Metropolis and found employment as a reporter for the *Daily Planet*. In keeping with his civilian identity of Clark Kent, Superman maintained a high rise apartment and automobile of his own. Additionally, Clark often ate even though Superman received his sustenance from the yellow sun, and did not require food. Even beyond eating for the sake of appearances, as he has done so his entire life with his friends and family, he had become accustomed to food and drink, and even occasionally enjoyed them in private, especially pizza and root beer floats.

Regarding the dual nature of his identity, Superman explained that he needed to be Clark to keep him sane, and his adoptive father reinforced that "Superman just helps out now and then". An early appearance in costume, saving a young girl, attracted the attention of Lois Lane — as the story replaced one of her own. It was Lois who subsequently gave Clark's costumed persona the name "Superman". Superman gave Lois an exclusive interview, his motivation being to alleviate public fears by ensuring that people knew where he came from and why he was here — or, as his adoptive mother put it, so that people would not think he was like "that nut from Gotham City".

Soon Superman becomes a huge phenomenon, with millions loving his power but also his humbleness. Soon a political movement rises based on superman’s values: being a good person, equality between men, women, and children, Better quality for all, and importantly Basic human decency. Soon an alien threat comes revealing to be general zod. Clark however fights back but is defeated as Zod’s forces keep invading the planet. After a talk with his parents (both pairs) he soon Gains strength, soon superman manages to Overcome Zod’s forces and learns how to fly (he could only hop earlier.) in the chaos Lois, Jimmy, and perry are captured but superman manages to save them. He then decides that to tell them his identity before her fights zod and defeats him.

Soon clark and lois began dating as she gets an exclusive interview with Superman, Clark even gives Lois a device which allows her to meet his Biological parents as well as the kents. Perry begins to treat clark the same despite knowing the truth. Jimmy begins to be more humble and things are perfect.
