Superman's History
Kal-El, legally named Clark Joseph Kent, is a superhero known as Superman, the last survivor of Krypton, the host of the Growth Codex, an investigative reporter for the Daily Planet, the fiancé of Lois Lane, and a member and direct inspiration of the Justice League.
Born to Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van of the House of El, the couple realized that Krypton was doomed to be completely destroyed with their entire civilization going with it. To save their son, they placed baby Kal in a rocket, aimed towards Earth, where he would be found by kindly farmers, Jonathan and Martha Kent in Smallville and was subsequently adopted by the couple with them giving the infant the human name "Clark Joseph Kent". Using his maturing superpowers, he defends the people of Earth from various threats of all sorts, such as the terraforming attempt by the Kryptonian warlord Dru-Zod and the Sword of Rao, using the alias Superman. After a fierce battle that destroyed a significant portion of Metropolis, Superman was reluctantly forced to kill Zod when the latter refused to cease the conflict, ending the attack for good, but not without catastrophic collateral damage and a tremendous loss of life.
A year and a half later, after thwarting various criminals and threats throughout Metropolis and all around the world while considered a highly controversial figure by those around him, whilst also living in a shared apartment with Lois, Superman became increasingly wary of the violent vigilante Batman, being ultimately forced into a fight to the death with the Dark Knight by a new and much greater enemy, the malevolent supergenius Lex Luthor in exchange for Martha's life, who was being held captive by Anatoli Knyazev. However, the two of them ultimately settled their differences in the end without killing each other, rescued Martha unharmed, and teamed up with fellow hero Wonder Woman, with the three of them managing to take down the unleashed Kryptonian monster Doomsday, a powerful hybrid creature created by Lex for the sole purpose of killing Superman, together, though Superman was notably killed in the process delivering the finishing blow with a kryptonite spear.
Earth's greatest hero was honorably buried in Heroes Park, with the entire world mourning his passing, and his heroically noble sacrifice inspired both Batman and Wonder Woman to begin establishing the valiant Justice League in order to battle any future threats to the world dedicated in his memory. His death also inspired Amanda Waller to assemble the expendable Task Force X to deal with any other powerful beings similar to Superman that could threaten national security. His death also served as an inspiration for metahumans such as the Flash to step more into the open to become heroes themselves.
Two years following Superman's death, Batman would employ the assistance of both the Flash and Cyborg to revive him with the power of a Mother Box as Batman believed he would be needed against an oncoming threat. With the Justice League now fully assembled, Superman greatly contributed to the successful offensive against the invading New God General Steppenwolf, forcing the latter's attempted invasion into retreat after swiftly defeating the fearsome New God in battle. Afterwards, Superman officially joined the Justice League and subsequently returned to his life of super-heroism and journalism after being reunited with Lois and Martha.
About a year after Steppenwolf's failed invasion attempt, he befriended Billy Batson and Freddy Freeman of the Shazam family, even agreeing to eat lunch with them at their school, and later survived a further attempt on his life by the assassin Bloodsport when the hired gun managed to shoot him with kryptonite bullets, sending him to the ICU for medical treatment. He along with the Justice League, intended to assist the 11th Street Kids during their efforts to destroy the Cow as part of the "Project Butterfly" operation, however, the League arrived in the immediate aftermath of the battle, with a frustrated Peacemaker reprimanding him and the rest of the team for their incompetence. Superman later intervened by traveling to the Kahndaq nation to attempt to dialogue with Black Adam and avert a global threat.
He was unanimously accepted by the world at large as the world's greatest hero, until the death of Lois Lane in a dark potential future, at which point he was forced to join Darkseid through being swayed by the Anti-Life Equation, leading him to turn against the Justice League and the people of Earth against his own will.Kal-El, legally named Clark Joseph Kent, is a superhero known as Superman, the last survivor of Krypton, the host of the Growth Codex, an investigative reporter for the Daily Planet, the fiancé of Lois Lane, and a member and direct inspiration of the Justice League.
