History
Origin

During the destruction of his home planet, Krypton, a baby Kal-El was saved by his parents, Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van, who sent him away in a rocket. Landing on Earth, he was adopted by kindly Smallville residents Jonathan and Martha Kent. He was given the name of Clark Kent, and lived an ordinary life until his parents revealed his extraterrestrial heritage at age 18, though his powers had already started to manifest.

After this realization, Clark decided to become a superhero. His parents created a costume and symbol for him, and was he dubbed Superman by Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane. He would go on to become the protector of Metropolis, though the entire world recognized him as a hero.

He works for the Daily Planet in his civilian identity as Clark Kent.
