 * HistoryText            = Superman, birth name Kal-El and adopted name Clark Kent, is the brutal High Councilor, leader of the Regime. Originally, he was Earth's premiere superhero, but after losing his beloved wife Lois Lane caused him to become a supervillain and subjugate those he once swore to protect. The exact details of his early superhero career are unknown but it is safe to assume they are the same as his New Earth counterpart.

Injustice: Year One
Born as Kal-El, Superman was born on the planet Krypton. However, soon after his birth, Krypton underwent a process that would lead to its timely destruction. His parents, Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van, in their last act to save him, put their son in a spaceship to escape the dying planet.

The last son of Krypton eventually landed safely on Earth, where he was discovered and adopted by Jonathan Kent and Martha Kent, a Kansas farming couple. He was then given the name "Clark Kent." Over time, Clark began to discover his powers, eventually becoming Earth's most powerful hero.

Superman is overjoyed when he hears two heartbeats coming from Lois Lane, indicating she is pregnant. After informing longtime ally, Batman of the good news, he discovers that his friend Jimmy was killed while with Lois, who was kidnapped. Distressed that he cannot locate her, Superman goes to Batman who had been investigating the theft of Kryptonite from S.T.A.R. Labs; Batman promptly informs the rest of the Justice League.

When Batman finds out it was the Joker who kidnapped Lois and hijacked a submarine along with Harley Quinn, Superman rushes out to open waters, finds the sub, and enters it, only to be confronted by none other than Doomsday. Unbeknownst to him, as he lifts Doomsday into orbit, the other Leaguers are informed by the Joker that he laced Kryptonite into fear toxin he stole from Scarecrow, and it was revealed that it was not Doomsday that Superman was lifting into orbit. It was Lois who had a heart monitor attached to her by the Joker that would detonate a nuke inside Metropolis when her heart stops beating, which it does as Superman watches in horror, as the gas wears off and sees who he really took into orbit.

When he learns that Joker is the one responsible, the enraged and sorrow-ridden Kryptonian confronts the Clown Prince of Crime in the middle of Batman's interrogation. Superman shoves the Dark Knight aside and demands to know why Joker would do such a thing. Joker taunts him as being a more gullible target than Batman, along with Superman's reluctance to kill and the fact that he ended up destroying everything he loves in the end, and wondered if he could love again after this. Finally pushed beyond his patience as well as his sanity, Superman flat out murdered Joker as Batman watches in horror. However, Joker's last words is a maniacal laughter, satisfied that he broke The Man of Steel to a point of no return.

Injustice: Gods Among Us
Years later, Superman rules the world and thinks of bringing order to it in a necessary way with Batman opposing it. During Story Mode, this leads Batman to bring in different Justice Leaguers from another reality where the bomb never went off due to Green Arrow being dead in their current timeline as his DNA was needed to unlock a Kryptonite weapon to disable Superman. However, though Lex Luthor (who, in this timeline, was a double agent working in secret for Batman) attempts to use the weapon after setting the Justice League Watchtower on self-destruct to distract Superman long enough, the plan fails. The main-universe Batman realizes they need their Superman to stop this Superman, and succeeds after defeating the alternate-universe Batman who was in disbelief.

After the main-universe Superman arrives and defeats Doomsday (Who was controlled by the alternate-universe Superman with a collar), the alternate-universe Superman confronts him, where they exchange their different points of view and the alternate-universe Superman points out his plan to travel back to the main-universe to reunite with Lois, despite that as the main-universe Superman pointed out, Lois would be horrified just by seeing the man that he has become.

After the main-universe Superman defeats him, the alternate Superman is locked up in a cell equipped with special lamps that emit red solar radiation to negate his powers.

}}
 * Superman was voiced by George Newbern.
 * Superman does not respond to the name Clark Kent, seeing his human name as being beneath him and the genetics behind his Kryptonian name to pronounce him superior and dominant to Earth and its citizens.
 * Unlike the other Superman, this Superman said the line "May Rao have mercy on his soul." instead of "May God have mercy on his soul.". This indicates that he worships the sun deity of his late home planet of Krypton rather than the deity of the humans he rules over.
