Martha Kent was the adoptive mother of the Kryptonian Clark Kent aka Superman and the wife of the late Jonathan Kent.
History
Martha Kent was seen as the "heart" of Smallville. Although she owned her farm outright, she took out a reverse mortgage with the farm as collateral and used the money to help her struggling neighbours. She intended for Clark to sell the farm when she died and use the money to settle her debt with the bank. However, when she passed he instead decided to take on the land and the debt and relocate his family to Smallville.[1]
