Superman(Kal El) (1459)

 Clark Kent (born Kal-el) is the editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet as well as the Kryptonian superhero Superman. 



History


   Kal El was born on the Planet Kypton to Jor El the planets leading Scientist and to Lara El. Jor El knew that his planet was doomed and after many Futile attempts to convinced his Government of the impending Doom he began construction on a space ship to remove them from the planet. When he realized he did not have time to construct a ship able to take himself and his family he created one just for his Only Son Kal El. Only a few days old his wife and him sent him on his way to the only planet that Jor El  felt was fitting enough for his Son and that planet Was Earth. 

 Kal El was sent away mere hours before the planet was destroyed and he traveled for nearly a week at light speeds to earth where he crash landed on Earth with a Ton of Meteors from his planet scattered all over the world. He landed on a Farm in Kansas where Jonathan and Martha Kent discovered his ship on their property. They adopted him as their own and hid his secret from everyone including Kal El till he was 13 years old when his powers began to manifest themselves.



  By 17 all his powers had manifested themselves, while he struggled to keep his secret he continue on life and worked in numerous small jobs in Smallville including being the lead reporter and eventual Editor of the Smallville Newspaper the "Small Times" at the age of 18 he donned a Suit he made using materials discovered in the ship that brought him to earth and became Superman he had always felt he wanted to do more in life and this was his calling.

Beginnings as Superman(1987-1990)


 The year was 1987 When Clark Kent first doned a suit and became Superman he  change to the world, No one had seen such raw power from a being in recent times, His presence struck Awe in some, Hope in others and even Fear everyone wondered what his presence on Earth really meant, as no other Kryptonian had ever been reported on earth before. He served Earth for two years before Clark Kent Arrived in Metropolis, Clark Kent is hired on as a reporter for the Daily Planet by its editor Perry White, who immediately assigns him to work alongside his best reporter Lois Lane.



He became known as the superhero Superman. Clark Eventually became friends with gossip reporter Cat Grant, the no-nonsense Lois Lane, young photographer Jimmy Olsen and editor-in-chief Perry White. Jimmy, who Superman had previously saved, would take the first photo of Superman and be given a signal watch to alert Superman of any danger. Eventually, Clark developed romantic feelings towards Lois, something which bothered Cat who had the same feelings toward him.

Protecting Earth(1990-2000)
Clark's heroic activities in Metropolis became a spectacle, especially when more powerful and fearsome villains began showing up. Throughout these years, Clark had faced the Kryptonian tyrant General Zod, becoming one of his most feared enemies,

Over the years, Superman worked in his secret identity of journalist Clark Kent, working for the Daily Planet, and soon fell in love and wed with his fellow reporter Lois Lane. However, tragedy struck for Superman on January 1st 2000 a Mutant entered the daily planet and created a dangerous poison that leaked into the building He was too late to save many of the staff members at the Daily Planet including Perry White. Superman arrived to find that his wife had survived the attack due to her concealed gas mask, but suffered a injury to the skull. She stayed awake long enough for her husband to find her, but Lois made the visibly murderous and angry Superman promises not to kill the mutant in retribution; he solemnly agreed. Trying to maintain his faith in humanity, he arrested the Mutant, but only for the Mutant to be killed by a new superhero named Hyperion.

Although Superman had Hyperion put on trial for his murder, Hyperion was acquitted for his cold-blooded act as the people accepted him for permanently ridding a very dangerous criminal. This act shattered Superman's faith in general goodness over the general populace's acceptance of murder as a reasonable way to deal with the criminal problem while overtly grown weary of superheroes like Superman whose refusal to kill allowed super-villains to terrorize the populace again and again once they escaped or were paroled. Feeling defeated by the public's perception, Superman gave up his heroic ways and retreated from the world at large by spending his time in the Fortress of Solitude where he merely observed the acts of humankind rather than acting, until astronomers believed they had discovered the remains of Krypton, Kal-El deciding to seek out his home planet he left Earth in late 2000

Sad Homecoming(2004)
Superman disappeared for 4 years then One night, Returning to Earth after recieving word from his Cousinof his Mother's Death He rescues cosmonauts floating in space without oxygen, he returns to Earth as Clark Kent to deal with selling his family farm after his foster mother Martha Kent's death, having failed in his hopes to find surviving Kryptonians. Clark Kent returns to Metropolis to his old job at the Daily Planet to find that the Daily Planet has been bought out by the tabloid tycoon David Warfield, and that Perry White Jr has been replaced as its editor by David's daughter Lacy, who starts making advances toward Clark despite Lois' warnings that Clark is "the oldest Boy Scout".

Soon the President of the United States makes a speech on television that peace talks between the United States and the Mutant Nation of Genosha have failed and that they are now considering building up nuclear defenses for possible war. Jeremy, an elementary school student whose class was watching this speech, is motivated to write a letter to Superman, saying if he could destroy all the world's nuclear missiles, then the world could be spared from blowing up one another. Superman initially tells Jeremy that he couldn't do that -- a response that the Warfield-controlled Daily Planet spins as SUPERMAN SAYS DROP DEAD TO KID -- but after a private talk with Jimmy Olsen on the issue, he realizes that Earth is his home as well and he can't stand idly by and watch its citizens annihilate each other. He addresses the United Nations by stating that he will destroy all nuclear missiles starting immediately; a statement that gets surprisingly universal support.

Meanwhile, Lex Luthor comes up with a new plan to destroy Superman: by creating a superpowered being using Superman's own DNA, a sample of which he gets from a museum display showing the strength of Superman's single hair strand Lex brings the corpse of General Zod to the Genesis Chamber and Kelor warns him of the ban of genetic modification by the Kryptonian Law Council. However, Lex ignores this and combines his blood with Zod and the Strand of Superman's Hair as the Genesis Chamber begins to transform the body of Zod Of course. Lex then executes his plan: unleashing an ancient Kryptonian deformity known as Doomsday designed to kill Superman. As the monster awakens, it roars at Lex Luthor before reaching out to kill him. It stops as Lex Ensured he had control over the creature before ever creating it, he orders it to attack Metropolis and lure Superman out and then Kill him while Lex stays behind to watch.

Superman promptly confronts Doomsday, and the two battle one another, destroying the Superman statue in the process. Doomsday's strength surpasses that of Superman, but the Man of Steel holds his own, managing to send the monster flying into a building. Doomsday is then shot at by military helicopters, but his body takes it all, adapting and only becoming more durable.

In desperation, Superman tackles Doomsday into space. The US President intends to shoot the alien monster down with a nuclear missile, and it is carried out, despite the protests of Swanwick. Superman defiantly holds Doomsday in place as he sees the missile approach, determined to have the monster destroyed. The resulting explosion is so gigantic, that Batman can clearly see it from Earth's surface and reaches out to as many Heroes as he could in a short time.

Doomsday's body lands on the abandoned Stryker's Island, but he is far from dead, as the tremendous explosion seems to have only made the monster stronger, with its body once again regenerating. Batman then attacks it with his Batwing, unleashing an immense amount of firepower, but Doomsday is unscathed and brings the plane down with his heat vision and breath. Before Batman can escape his crashed vehicle, Doomsday corners him and fires a tremendous superheated torrent at him. Wonder Woman arrives, however, just in time to save Batman, deflecting the beams with her indestructible bracelets, which creates a massive wave of energy outwards.

The Flash(Jay Garrick) Appears next to Wonder Woman and Batman The Three of them Began to fight the Creature, Batman only holding his own with an Exo powered suit. The Flash long since retired from Active Duty couldnt hold his own for only a few minutes before being taken out of the battle temporarly. Supergirl appears at the last minute to save The Flash and she joins the battle as well.

In the meantime, Superman is floating in space, with him being extremely weakened by the nuclear missile, rendered thin and undead in appearance. Soon, however, he is exposed to radiation from the yellow sun, which reinvigorates Superman's cells, returning him to full power. He then proceeds to defiantly fly towards Doomsday again, sending the monster flying into a gas tank.

Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Superman then proceed to jointly attack Doomsday in tandem, while Batman and the Flash tries to expose the monster to kryptonite, which would exploit its only known vulnerability. Wonder Woman soon manages to cut off the monster's right hand, but that only results in a sharp bony protrusion growing back in its place.

The Flash having went and retrieved weapons from the Batcave for Batman which included a Spear made of Kryptionite The Flash Attempts to use the spear on The Monster only to be severially injured by it.

while Wonder Woman has managed to temporarily restrain Doomsday with her indestructible lasso. Superman sees that the only way to stop Doomsday is to risk his own life. Hence, he says goodbye to his Cousin and his long time friend Batman, before taking hold of the spear and flying back to the battle scene, exposed to the substance himself in the process as he flys towards Doomsday he speaks to Lois telling her he will soon see her.

He stabs Doomsday in the chest with the kryptonite spear, but since the weapon did not manage to fully pierce the monster, Doomsday is able to stab Superman in return, piercing the latter's chest with his arm bone protrusion. A desperate and mortally wounded Superman uses the leverage to further impale Doomsday with the spear, finally killing the creature, though dying himself in the process. A shocked and saddened Batman promptly arrives, and retrieves Superman's lifeless body, enveloping him in his own cape.

Superman is given a symbolic funeral with an empty casket in Heroes Park in Metropolis, Clark Kent is persumed missing or killed in the Destruction caused by the battle.

1 Year later Clark Kent appears back at the Daily Planet, revealing that after the attack he had developed memory loss and wondered the world searching for who he was. In reality Kal's body had been healed and brought back by his Mournful Cousin, while alive Kal no longer has any of his abilities.

Normal Life(2005-2020)
Clark eventually became the Editor and Chief of the Daily Planet in 2010 and currently maintains that role to this day.

The Return Of Superman
During Superman's absence, he intentionally failed to realize his importance as a constant inspiration/role model to other heroes. Other heroes, equally disturbed at the public's overwhelmingly positive reaction to Hyperion actions, withdraw from the world at large or travelled to off planet leaving a power vacuum that is soon filled by the new generation of "heroes" Hyperion represents.

Without the moral restriction on superpower actions provided by Superman and his generation even the aggressive though still non-lethal Batman, in Kal-El's point of view there is little or no distinction between 'heroes' and 'villains' in the new superpowered combatants. Metahumans, Mutant's and Human's battle openly in the streets without true cause, concern for collateral damage, or innocent passersby. Average humans, demoralized by the loss of their true heroes, the disregard for them the new generation displays, and their inability to do anything about the state of affairs, had fallen into a societal depression. Efforts that celebrate human achievement, like professional sports, the Olympics and Nobel Prizes, had been nearly abandoned. The dark state of the world comes to a head when a super fight  breaks out destroying a entire military base with excessive and unnecessary force, which indirectly resulted in the irradiation of the entire state of Kansas and parts of the surrounding states, taking out a large portion of America's food production.

Clark Kent wishing he could do more, He returns to his Fortress of Solitude which his Cousin Kara had been using all these years and she reveals she had been working on a way to restore his powers. Kara restored Clark's Powers and just in time to help stop an attack which stll caused a Power Outage on the East Coast but could have been worse.

The power outage on the East Coast  interfered with the flight test of a space shuttle attached to a Boeing 777, occupied by Betty Brant who is covering a story aboard. Clark flies into action as Superman and stops the plane from crashing onto a baseball stadium, which is full of spectators. They cheer as Superman brings it down safely to land.

Superman is convinced by Wonder Woman him to return to Metropolis and together they form The Justice League. The yellow aspects of his costume replaced by black as a badge of mourning for those lost in the Kansas disaster and the Loss of many whom he cared about, it reminds him that even in Darkness Hope shines through.

Second Coming of Superman
Since his return Superman has continued to push for heroes to "do the right thing" and not take matters into their own hands.

Powers

 * Kryptonian Physiology: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, The average Kryptonian possesses the potential for the following power set:


 * Solar Energy Absorption: Under optimal conditions, this is the main source of their super powers as they are contingent upon exposure to solar radiation from a yellow sun star system. Their biological make up includes a number of organs which lack analogues in humans and whose functions are unknown. It is believed that between one or more of these and their bio-cellular matrix, "yellow" solar energy is stored for later use. This allows for the use of these powers to fade when yellow solar radiation is not available instead of immediate failure.
 * Heat Vision: Kryptonians can, as a conscious act, fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it. Typically, the power is seen as two beams of red light emanating from the eyes. These beams can be made invisible, allowing the power to be undetectable. The maximum temperature of their heat vision is said to be around that of a nuclear detonation. They can also consciously determine the area affected, down to the microscopic level.
 * Super-Hearing: Kryptonian hearing is sensitive enough to hear any sound at any volume or pitch. With skill, practice, and concentration, they can block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source or frequency. As such, they can identify a person by their heartbeat, or pick out a single voice in an entire city.
 * Enhanced Vision Kryptonian vision processes the entire electromagnetic spectrum as well as allowing vast control over selective perception and focus.

This umbrella ability includes the following

Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision: Kryptonians can see well into most of the electromagnetic spectrum. They can see and identify radio and television signals as well as all other broadcast or transmitted frequencies. Using this ability, they can avoid detection by radar or satellite monitoring methods. This also allows them to see the aura generated by living thing.

Telescopic Vision: This is the ability to see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics. Though limited, the exact extent of the ability is undetermined. In function, it is similar to the zoom lens on a camera.

X-Ray Vision: This is the ability to see through any volume of matter except lead. Kryptonians can see things behind a solid, opaque object as if it were not there. They can focus this ability to "peel back" layers of an object, allowing hidden image or inner workings to be observed. The exact type of energy perceived - such as x-rays, cosmic rays, or some other energy invisible to normal humans - is unclear. This ability perceives an ambient energy source though, it does not involve the eye projecting a concentrated, possibly toxic, beam to be reflected back from objects.

Microscopic Vision: This is the ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the atomic level.

Infrared Vision: Kryptonians can see with better acuity in darkness, and to a degree in total darkness.

Flight: Kryptonians are able to manipulate graviton particles, in an unknown and apparently unconscious manner, to defy the forces of gravity. Under one Earth gravity, they are capable of speeds of multi-Mach speeds in Earth's atmosphere. Their control of their flight is very precise and they can perform aerobatic feats such as hovering, flying backwards and even lifting great weights while flying.

Invulnerability: The bodies of Kryptonians are nigh-invulnerable to extreme energy forces. In addition, their immune systems protects them from toxins and diseases. The most common explanations for this rely on the presences of a super-dense molecular structure, a supercharged bio-electric aura which acts as an invisible force field, or a combination of the two. With the aura, it is presumed to extend a few millimeters from the skin as well as within the body. A byproduct of the aura is that items close to the skin share their invulnerability. Using clothing as an example, loose fitting fabric would tend to shred or burn in adverse conditions, but skin tight outfits would not.

Superhuman Stamina: Kryptonians have the ability to maintain continuous strenuous physical action for an indefinite period of time. In theory they have unlimited stamina as their enhanced nourishment is produced from the yellow solar energy their cells process, which also provides the majority of the power for their superhuman abilities. However, their base physical structures do need to process food stuffs and they have a psychological need to eat and drink just as Earth humans do. They also require sleep on occasion so that they can dream. They can also hold their breath for an indefinite period of time.

Superhuman Strength: A Kryptonian develops enhanced physical strength after absorbing a sufficient amount of yellow solar radiation. This radiation interacts with the greater than human density, resilience and biological efficiency of their musculature to trigger superhuman levels. While the exact magnitude of their strength is unknown, it is generally accepted that it is sufficient to lift 100,000 tons or more. The specific range is unknown as a their strength, like their other powers, may fluctuate over time. Their strength is also more an act of conscious will on energy fields than actual physical strength. It is this act of conscious will that enables them to perform physical feats that are beyond the mere application force, such as moving a mountain top without said rock crumbling under its own mass. At full power, their normal strength levels are well into the multi-megaton range.

Superhuman Speed: Kryptonians are able to move at incredible speeds by sheer force of will. They can match most other speedsters in super-fast movements, reactions, and processes. They can use this power to disarm opponents without heightened reflexes, catch bullets or shrapnel or cross vast distances in seconds.

Superhuman Agility

Superhuman Reflexes

Super-Breath: Kryptonians are able to create hurricane force winds by exhaling air from their lungs. They can chill the air as it leaves their lungs to freeze targets in a variation sometimes called "freeze" or "arctic breath". They can also reverse the process and pull large volumes of air or vapor into their lungs.
