The planet Krypton is destabilizing from the mining of the planetary core. Just before the planet explodes, Krypton’s top scientist, Jor-El, steals and infuses the genetics codex into his infant son, Kal-El, the first naturally born Kryptonian child in centuries. Jor-El manages to send Kal-El in a spacecraft toward Earth before being killed by General Zod during a coup d’état. Kal-El lands in Kansas, where he is adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent and named Clark.

As he grows older, due to his Kryptonian physiology and Earth’s yellow sun, he develops superhuman powers that Jonathan urges him to keep hidden, even refusing Clark’s help years later during a tornado storm where he loses his life. Burdened with guilt over Jonathan’s death, Clark travels the globe hiding under various aliases seeking a purpose in life.
