History
Superman of Smallville
Jonathan Kent married Martha and the two owned Kent Farm. They discovered a Kryptonian Rocket housing a baby. They hid the rocket under their barn and adopted the child under the name Clark Kent. As Clark grew up, he developed superpowers and decided to become a superhero.
One day, a mysterious being with similar powers to Clark harassed Smallville. Jonathan and Martha forbid him from going out, but Clark disobeyed them and went investigating. He returned with a puppy, later revealed to be named Krypto, angering his parents, who decided to ground him. The next day, Jonathan returned to inform Clark that a Brainiac rocket was attacking downtown, only to find that the Kryptonian rocket had activated. Jonathan initially protested to Clark going after it, but Martha convinced him otherwise. Afterwards, Clark told Jonathan that Krypto was the mysterious being and that the new ship was what brought him to Earth.[1]
