Origin
In a faraway star system, an ancient civilization died, leaving barely a trace of its passing. That world was called Krypton, and greatest of all its mighty cities was the scienc-captial Jandra-La on |Vathlo Island in the green Dandahu Ocean.

It was there, as the planet was ripped apart in a cataclysm, that two desperate scientists named Jorel and Lara sent their race's only survivor, their son Kalel, in a rocket across the gulfs of space with little more than a prayer.

After a time the last son of Krypton came to planet Earth. Adopted by a poor but kindly couple, the last Kryptonian became a strong and proud man. Now, disguised as the President of the United States, Kalel fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice, liberty and equality as Superman.

Final Crisis
During the Final Crisis, this Superman was recruited by the Supermen of the Multiverse to help battle the vampire god Mandrakk, and later helped to stabilize conditions on New Earth.

Curse of Superman
After fighting a particularly easy battle with his nemesis, Lex Luthor. He realizes that Luthor served only to distract him from his true hidden possession, the Transmatter Sonic Array.

Yet as soon as Superman finds this device three humans barrel out from it's entrance. One of them dies as another lies motionless and the third fires a Kryptonite laser at Superman. Having no affect he disarms the woman and asks to understand her situation.

After she explains that she's on the run from a monster. She reveals she's from an alternate universe where this monster was their Superman. Soon enough, the monster bursts through the portal device and attacks Superman. With the help of Lois and an unconventional ally in Lex Luthor. They defeat the monster and send him back through the portal which seemingly tears him to shreds.

Summoning the Justice League, Superman explains what the device is and asks them to analyze it as he finally introduces himself to Lois to which she confesses that maybe not all Supermen were evil.
