Early years
Superman was born Kal-L of the planet, Krypton. His father was the esteemed scientist, Jor-L, and his mother was a librarian named, Lara. When Kal-L was still a toddler, his father discovered that the planet Krypton teetered on the brink of absolute destruction. Realizing that there was not enough time to save everyone on the planet, he deposited his son inside of a specially designed rocket ship and launched him into outer space. As Kal-L’s rocket broke the atmosphere, the planet Krypton exploded.

After traveling through space for an indeterminate amount of time, his rocket eventually crash-landed in a small farming community named Smallville, on the planet Earth. Two locals named John and Mary Kent discovered the ship and adopted baby Kal-L. They named him Clark, and raised him as if he were their very own son.

When Clark grew to adulthood, he discovered that living on a world in a yellow-star system granted him a variety of unbelievable powers. His strength increased to superhuman levels and his skin became virtually impenetrable. He could hurl cars as if they were pebbles and propel his body through the air up to 1/8th of a mile.

Not long after discovering these new abilities, his foster parents, John and Mary, passed away from old age. However, he remembered the valuable lessons they taught him during their short time together, and vowed to always use his powers for the benefit of humanity. Clark Kent became a super-powered crime fighter that the world would soon come to know as…Superman.
