Superman is a Kryptonian superhero and one of the main characters of the Super Friends franchise. He is voiced by Danny Dark.

Biography

Past life

Superman was originally Kal-El, the son of Jor-El and Lara from the home planet Krypton. Jor-El warned his fellow scientists that Krypton will cease to exist, and that internal pressures would make it explode. Although his calculations were scoffed at by those around him, he used that knowledge build a rocket ship for his newly-born son. He and his wife sent their son's ship to Earth, where it managed to escape from the dying planet.[1][2] When the rocket landed on an empty field, the infant Kal-El was taken by Jonathan and Martha Kent. Upon discovering that the baby was unhurt, the kindly couple hid his ship and took him to a orphanage, where he was soon adopted as Clark Kent.[2]

As part of the Kent family, Clark was raised in Smallville, a small idyllic town in the middle of America. As he grew older, he created the superhero mantle of Superboy in his teens, which would later become Superman as he transitioned to adulthood. He also became a friend to a young Lex Luthor, who at one point wanted to create an antidote to Superboy's Kryptonite weakness. After a minor accident caused Luthor to lose his hair, he vows revenge on him out of jealousy for his intelligence, and became his arch-nemesis from that point on.[3]

Later into adulthood, Clark left his hometown to pursue a career in Metropolis City. He was hired as a reporter at the Daily Planet by editor and chief Perry White. While working there, he had also met up with Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen around this time. When not as the mild-mannered reporter, Clark uses his Superman identity to help out Metropolis' citizens in the name of truth and justice.
