History
Kal-El, Jr. was the half-human son of Superman and Lois Lane. During his early childhood, he became good friends with Bruce Wayne, Jr., the son of Batman.[1] When they were young boys, they were blamed and punished for several mischievous acts that were apparently perpetrated by them. However, Kal Jr and Bruce Jr managed to reveal that the responsibles for the bad capers were in fact Mxyzptlk, Jr. and Bat-Mite, Jr. and their names were cleared.[2]
As he grew older, Kal-El, Jr. had to change his name in order to keep his and his father's secret identity. His new name was Clark Kent, Jr and this change caused troubles in his late teen years. Expressing his own sense of teenage rebellion, Clark Kent, Jr. resisted his father's heroic legacy to discover his own sense of self. Trying to become something more than just the son of a superhero, Clark Jr. along his best friend, Bruce Wayne, Jr., started the superhero team known as "Super Sons" and their first mission, in which they stopped a crime lord in Sparta City, was a successful.[3]
