Clark Kent

Clark Kent, also known as Superman, is Earth's greatest hero and the main protagonist of Smallville. Hailing from the planet Krypton, Clark is a superpowered alien who was raised in Smallville, Kansas. He resided there until his early adult years, when he moved to Metropolis.

Born the biological son of Jor-El and Lara-El, and given the birth name Kal-El, he was sent to Earth by his parents to fulfill a destiny in which he would become the savior of humanity: he was thrown off the planet just minutes before its destruction. Accompanied by a massive meteor shower, his spaceship crashed in Miller's Field in Smallville: there, he was found by farmers Jonathan Kent and Martha Kent, who raised him as their son and named him Clark. Thanks to the yellow sun, Clark developed many Kryptonian powers that grew stronger as he grew older. His parents instilled in him strong moral principles and taught him to use his abilities for good. Clark learned much about his origins from Dr. Virgil Swann, a diary and artificial intelligence version of Jor-El. Clark secretly fought crime in his hometown during his high school years and worked as a vigilante in Metropolis, initially known as the Good Samaritan, later as the Red-Blue Blur, and then simply as the Blur. During the day, he works as a reporter for the

Daily Planet

His archenemy is Lex Luthor, a megalomaniacal scientist and businessman who knew Clark Kent during his teenage years in Smallville, and his greatest weakness is kryptonite, a mineral made from the radioactive remains of Krypton.

Although Superman is described as "The Last Son of Krypton", throughout his life he discovered other survivors of his home planet. His cousin Kara Zor-El arrived on Earth in a Kryptonite meteor and eventually assumed the identity of Supergirl. Superman recalls swearing that he would never take a human life, and that if he did, he would symbolically hang up his cape and retire. The current character adheres to a strict moral code, which is often attributed to the values ​​of the American Midwest region with which he was raised.
