History:
Rocketed to earth as a child from the doomed planet Krypton by his father, the brilliant scientist Jor-El, baby Kal-El was discovered and raised by Kansas farmers Jonathan and Martha Kent as their own.
Raised on the exploits of the legendary Justice Society of America, and his own personal hero Captain Marvel, Clark Kent had an idyllic life growing up in Smallville with his close friends Pete Ross and Lana Lang.
It wasn't until his late teens that he began to discover the amazing effects of a yellow sun on his alien physique, though he hid these powers from all except his parents, who chose this time to reveal to their son his Kryptonian heritage, unveiling to him the spacecraft they had found him in 18 years ago. From it, Clark discovered the history of his doomed birth planet, and a mysterious object called a tesseract which he would transport to a remote location in the Antarctic and retreat to as a fortress of solitude.
Clark left Smallville and wandered the globe for two years, testing his powers, exploring his Kryptonian heritage in the fortress, and learning about the world. It was then he decided to honor the values of his Earth parents Jonathan and Martha and dedicate his life to the cause of Truth, Justice and liberty for all!
At twenty, Clark resurfaced in Metropolis and attended the university, majoring in journalism and graduating four years later with honors. He spent a year as an intern at the Daily Planet, until the day when a superpowered maniac called the Parasite escaped from S.T.A.R Labs and began ravaging the city. The hero Captain Marvel arrived on the scene, but was overwhelmed by the villain, and Clark rose up, following his example and wearing the uniform his mother sewed him, and came to the rescue of his childhood hero.
Thus Superman was born! Cub reporter Clark Kent scooped the Planet's hotshot young superstar Lois Lane, and Kent was promoted to the bullpen, beginning a friendly rivalry that persists to this day.
In the six years since, Superman has protected the great city of Metropolis, and his adopted planet, continuing the legacy of Captain Marvel, and coming into conflict with not just supervillains and the forces of tyranny, but meglomaniacal businessman Lex Luthor, who sees the Last Son of Krypton as a rival and a threat to the security of Earth itself--- and vows to destroy him!
