Superman's Origin
Superman is the last surviving person from the planet Krypton. When the planet of was on the verge of destruction, the infant Kal-El's parents bundled him into a rocket bound for earth in hopes of saving his young life. The rocket landed in Smallville, Kansas, on the farm of a childless old couple, Ma and Pa Kent. They raised the child as their son, Clark Kent. Discovering his powers by the time he was a teen, Kent moved to Metropolis (a fictional city modeled on Chicago), where he began his dual life as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for the Daily Planet newspaper and Superman, the caped crime fighter. -
