Kal-El, the last son of Krypton. Clark Kent, a farmboy from Kansas. What happens when these two are the same person? A superhero who stops to save squirrels and help cats out of trees, whose civilian persona is a clumsy reporter with a love for a dorky punk rock band. Energetic, personable, and always optimistic, Clark is both the superhero symbol of hope and your classic boy-next-door. Strong enough to lift a cow and gentle enough not to hurt it, he's the best superhero a person could ask for. Kal-El, legally named Clark Joseph Kent, is the last son of the House of El and the only son of scientists Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van, who, after fleeing from the destruction of the planet Krypton as an infant and arriving on Earth, was discovered and subsequently adopted by a couple of farmers, Jonathan and Martha Kent, raised in the small rural farming town of Smallville, Kansas. After discovering his Kryptonian heritage, he decided to use his array of superhuman powers to fight crime and protect the people of the city of Metropolis as the world's most powerful superhero known as Superman. As a hero, Superman faced many enemies such as the cybernetic mercenary Metallo, as he formed alliances with fellow superheroes such as the local LordTech sponsored superhero team the Justice Gang while working at the Daily Planet in his civilian life, where he befriended his co-worker Jimmy Olsen and fell in love with reporter Lois Lane, who soon became aware of his alter ego. Three years after his public debut, Superman halted a United States-backed invasion of Jarhanpur by Boravia, drawing scrutiny of billionaire and Superman's arch-enemy Lex Luthor, who secretly deployed a powerful clone called the Hammer of Boravia. After being nearly killed in battle and rescued by Krypto the Superdog, Superman recovered in the Fortress of Solitude, only for Luthor and the Engineer to invade, abduct Krypto, and manipulate the public into believing Superman arrived to Earth to conquer it. As public trust collapsed, Superman surrendered to the government and was imprisoned by Luthor in a collapsing pocket dimension, where he was reunited with Krypto and freed by fellow prisoner Metamorpho. Rescued by Lois Lane and Mister Terrific, Superman escaped as a black hole opened above Metropolis. While Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and Metamorpho repelled a second Boravian invasion, Superman battled Ultraman and hurled him into the black hole and stopped Luthor by publicly exposing his elaborate conspiracy with the help of his colleagues and having him arrested and sent to Belle Reve Correctional Center, before he returned to the Fortress to heal and rebuild, where his intoxicated cousin Kara Zor-El arrived unannounced to retrieve Krypto and thanked him for dog sitting, relaxing contently by watching home movies of his happy childhood spent with his adoptive parents. Appearance- Clark has curly black hair, blue eyes framed by square black glasses. Standing at 6 feet and 4 inches, with a muscular build, he can be intimidating. He does his best to make feel people at ease around him or blend into the background despite his stature. As Superman, he wears his hair combed back with a single curl on the front of his head. History- Kal-El was born on Krypton on February 29, during the 1990s to renowned scientists Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van. As Krypton faced imminent destruction, the couple sent their infant son to Earth aboard a spacecraft, hoping to ensure his survival. Believing Earth's people to be primitive and inferior to Kryptonians, the couple intended for their son to someday conquer the planet, leaving behind a message that expressed their love and encouraged domination by any means necessary. However, upon crash-landing in Smallville, Kansas, part of the message was damaged, leaving only the expressions of love intact. The infant was discovered by farmers Jonathan and Martha Kent, who adopted and named him Clark Joseph Kent. Unaware of his biological parents' true intentions, Clark was raised with compassion and humility. As he grew older, Clark began to manifest advanced superhuman powers and abilities due to radiation from Earth's yellow sun and his Kryptonian physiology, including extraordinary physical attributes such as superhuman strength, speed, agility, reflexes, stamina, senses, hearing, longevity, invulnerability, flight, heat vision, X-ray vision, and wind/freeze breath, making him nearly godlike in power. Guided by the strong moral values instilled in him by his loving parents, Clark chose to use his powers to secretly protect others and fight injustice. In high school, he wrote for the Smallville Sentinel, using the role to investigate local disturbances and discreetly step in when danger struck. As Kent grew into adulthood, he began to discover more things about his Kryptonian heritage, such as the Fortress of Solitude and his biological parents. He managed to hear the first part of the message and, inspired by their kind words of love and hope, Kent decided to use his powers openly to the public in order to fight crime and protect the Earth as a superhero, wearing a red and blue suit and revealing himself to the world as Superman by 2022, believing that to be what his parents would've wanted. He began to wear a pair of Hypno-Glasses as a civilian in order to hide his identity. Shortly after becoming Superman and moving to Metropolis, Kent decided he could make a greater impact as a civilian by becoming a reporter at the Daily Planet. However, during the interview, editor Perry White dismissed Kent's application unless he could deliver an exclusive story. Rising to the challenge, Kent eventually found out about an armed mercenary assault at the Toy Factory, resulting in him suiting up as Superman and stopping them. After leaving the criminals to the authorities, Kent submitted a detailed article about the Toy Factory, as well as reporting on his alter ego's role in stopping the attack on the factory. Though skeptical at first of Superman's existence, White was convinced after another reporter corroborated the event, resulting in Kent getting the job. Afterward, White partnered him with photographer Jimmy Olsen and reporter Lois Lane, who was doubtful of his alter ego and dismissed him as a civilian. Personality- Initially, Clark as Superman presents himself as powerful, calm, authoritative, and deeply committed to protecting humanity. He values truth and justice, demonstrating kindness and a desire to solve problems peacefully. As such, for better and worse, Superman has a sense of disregard towards political authority, prioritizing the lives of any living creature on Earth over being given the legal right to do so. Additionally, while fighting the Kaiju, he opts to handle the situation peacefully, hoping to send it to an intergalactic zoo and study it instead of outright killing it like the Justice Gang did. Superman, the hero, is calm and confident, always smiling, always assuring that everything will be okay. He's the protector of everyone, from young children to the elderly, of all nations and backgrounds. He'll always stop to offer comfort to a civilian having a bad day, and reassure them of their strength and that things will get better. He projects a certainty and authority that allows him to move through the world without getting much pushback. As Clark Kent, his main concern is being intrusive. Despite his height and strength, he blends into the background, constantly apologizing and giving the impression of an average person trying their best. He can be clumsy and awkward, tripping over his words. He has a soft and almost naive seeming personality, one born of pure hope. He may seem like he doesn't recognize the darkness in the world, but in reality, he simply refuses to accept it, believing that everyone can be better with help. Giving off boy-next-door vibes, he is genuinely kind and sweet to everyone around him, always reaching out to help. Appearing both shy and extroverted, he can befriend almost anyone. Powers- As a kryptonian enhanced by Earth's yellow sun, Superman has many powers. These include: Solar Energy Absorption: allows him to harness the energy of Earth's sun to heal and increase his energy. Superhuman Strength: he is capable of carrying and moving up to 10,397,576 lbs, and exerting as much force and pressure. Nigh-Invulnerability: he can withstand extreme heat and cold, and is invulnerable to most forms of harm including bullets and knives, as long as they are inflicted by someone with lower strength than him. He can also hold his breath for over an hour, and is invulnerable to human diseases and drugs. Superhuman Speed: he is able to move and fly at supersonic speeds, faster than the speed of sound, appearing as a blur. He also has extremely quick reflexes. Superhuman Senses: his senses of hearing and smell are incredibly strong, to the point of being able to track a single person's heartbeat from anywhere on Earth. Superhuman Agility: much like his speed, he can jump to extreme heights, leap across enormous gaps, and otherwise move in extremely flexible ways. Superhuman Stamina: as long as he is exposed to the light of a yellow sun, he never gets tired. Accelerated Healing: he has an accelerated healing factor, healing from most injuries almost instantly, especially if exposed to the light of a yellow sun.

The only known material impenetrable to his X-ray vision is lead. Heat Vision: he, like all Kryptonians, can project bright red energy beams from his eyes. With his control, he can regulate their capacities for various feats. He can control the heat level as well as how wide the beams are. Superhuman Breath: he is able to draw in large amounts of air and then expel it all to create gale and hurricane force winds to extinguish fires. He can also chill his breath to freeze targets. Flight: he is able fly and levitate by manipulating his own gravitational field, taking advantage of Earth's weaker gravity to propel himself through the skies and even beyond the planet's atmosphere. Upon mastering this technique, he can fly at hypersonic speeds that allow him to circle the globe in moments. Further practice with this power has allowed him to extend it to others so that they don't experience the negative effects of traveling at high speeds. Abilities- Along with being a superhuman, Clark also has many abilities within the realm of human experience. These are: Gifted Intellect: Superman is exceptionally intelligent, as with other Kryptonians, which he uses constantly in both his crimefighting career and his career as a reporter. Skilled Reporter: Clark Kent, working as a reporter for the Daily Planet, is an exceptionally skilled investigative reporter, displaying remarkable insight, investigative and writing skills, writing several articles on his own. Expert Combatant: Superman is a capable and adaptive combatant, able to analyze an opponent's fighting style and take advantage of it within seconds. Gear- Of course, a superhero can't rely on just strength. So what gear does Clark utilize? Supersuits: Superman wears a blue suit when operating publicly as a superhero, composed of Kryptonian cloth, which is durable enough to withstand various forms of wear and tear. It comes complete with a pair of red boots, as well as a yellow belt, red briefs, the House of El family crest in red and yellow upon his chest, complete with a long red cape with his family crest on the back, but in yellow. Superman Robots: A series of identical robots created to assist Superman in the Fortress of Solitude, often treating his injuries sustained in battle. Hypno-Glasses: A pair of glasses worn by Superman when he assumes the alter ego of Clark Kent. They hypnotize the public into perceiving Superman and Clark Kent as two different people. Fortress of Solitude: Superman's main base of operations located somewhere in the Arctic, where he travels to reconnect with his Kryptonian heritage. Weaknesses- While Superman is incredibly strong, he does have a couple weaknesses. These are: Green Kryptonite: a form of radioactive rock from Krypton, Clark's home planet, green Kryptonite completely negates Clark's powers, and makes him weaker than an average human. It also makes him feel sick and in pain, exhausting him to the point of death. Red Kryptonite: every piece of red kryptonite has a different effect, making it a major risk for Clark to be around it. Gold Kryptonite: permanently removes a kryptonian's superpowers. Blue Kryptonite: temporarily removes a kryptonian's superpowers, but otherwise lacks an effect. Black Kryptonite: splits a kryptonian into two selves, one good and one evil. Silver Kryptonite: causes hallucinations and delusions. Extreme Force: Clark can be overcome by an opponent with similar or greater strength levels. Red Sun: the light from a red sun weakens or completely suppresses Clark's powers. Trivia- Other fun notes: Krypto the Superdog, a common companion of Superman, is actually his cousin's dog. Clark watches him while she parties. Clark's favorite meal is breakfast for dinner. Clark drinks hot chocolate after a hard day. Clark's favorite films are: Star Wars, Good Will Hunting, It's A Wonderful Life and Old Yeller. However, he turns the latter off before the end. Clark is a fan of punk rock music. His favorite bands are The Strangle-Fellows, The P.O.D.s, and The Mighty Crabjoys. He's sometimes known as 'Big Blue' and 'Boyscout'.
