## Summary

**Clark Joseph Kent** (born as **Kal-El**; 1980) is an incredibly powerful alien superhero, a journalist of the Daily Planet, and one of the last survivors of Krypton's destruction. Kal-El is the first (and last) Kryptonian of natural birth in centuries and is imbued with the Kryptonian Growth Codex. When Jor-El realised that Krypton was doomed, he and his wife Lara Lor-Van sent their son to Earth for the chance of a better life, one free of forced societal roles. He was found by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who adopted and named him Clark Joseph Kent. Using his powers, he defends the city of Metropolis from various threats using the moniker **Superman**. Two years later, Superman would grow increasingly wary of Batman, was manipulated, and ultimately forced into a fight with the Dark Knight by Lex Luthor. However, they ultimately settled their misunderstandings and joined Wonder Woman to protect the world from the Ancient Kryptonian Deformity known as Doomsday. In the ensuing battle, Superman sacrificed himself in the process of personally stopping Doomsday. Earth's greatest hero was honourably buried in Heroes Park, with the world mourning his passing. His heroic sacrifice inspired numerous metahumans. After his resurrection, Superman was restored to being a beacon of hope after repelling the forces of Steppenwolf with the Justice League.

**Key: Theatrical | SnyderVerse**

**Note:** Superman allegedly shifting a tectonic plate according to a newspaper article will be a non-feat, unless it is shown on-screen in future. Additionally, the article is just a reference to *Superman (1978 film)* and even Zack Snyder himself doesn't think that Superman can perform such a feat.
