Superfamily | Kent Family

Kal-El, the Last Son of Krypton, was born to scientists Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van shortly before the destruction of their doomed world. Aware of their planet's impending fate, they conducted extensive (but remote) research on habitable worlds within range and constructed a rocket so that their son might survive. As an infant, he was introduced to his paternal cousin Kara Zor-El. In the end, they chose Earth, and managed to launch their son into space mere moments before the destruction of Krypton. Kal's rocket landed in Smallville, Kansas, where he was discovered by Jonathan and Martha Kent. He was given the name "Clark Kent" and adopted as their son.

Clark first debuted as a public superhero at the age of fifteen, when his parents took him to Metropolis to visit the Expo of Tomorrow as a birthday gift. For that trip, he had brought the costume his mother had sewed for him, an action that his parents' disapproved, since they believed he wasn't ready yet to reveal his existence to the world. While there, the Expo was attacked by a supervillain calling himself Raze, and Clark was forced to don his costume in order to save bystanders and stop him. However, his inexperience using his powers in a fight had him struggling heavily, before his father's voice motivated him to use one of his lessons to defeat the villain by making a whirlwind and removing his equipment. After the battle was over, Clark was overwhelmed by people's comments and flew away to his parents, who were extremely proud of his efforts to save lives, even while worried about what would happen next with his secret out.

However, Clark lacked a superhero codename until the newly-promoted Daily PlanetPerry White took the suggestion of a colleague's niece and called him the first Superboy, a name which Clark enjoyed, even as his parents only allowed him to do superhero work three times a week. In these patrols, Superboy visited for the first time cities like Gotham, Los Angeles and Central City, while learning how to navigate in flight and adapting to his powers, who were not yet as strong as they would be in his adulthood. Nevertheless, in spite of his enjoyment of his superheroics, Clark still had regular teenage struggles, which were compounded by his mother's idea to mantain a secret identity by wearing glasses (who would cut the color of his eyes) and fake a meeker personality.

Upon moving to Metropolis, Clark took a job at the Daily Star and prepared himself to act as a vigilante at the age of 22, by having several shirts printed with the S-Symbol that had come to Earth with him emblazoned on them. His attempt to rescue a young boy caused him to reveal himself before he expected to, and the city came to know of the superhuman man.

Superman and Batman met for the first time while Clark was investigating a series of murders in Wayne Enterprises.

Reluctantly, after encouragement from his boss at the Daily Star, he accepted a job as a reporter at the Daily Planet, where he befriended fellow reporter Lois Lane, photographer Jimmy Olsen and his editor Perry White. On his first day, Clark saved Lois's life during a helicopter crash, in the process debuting a new costume bearing red trunks and a low neckline, but clearly inspired by the Kryptonian armor Clark recovered from Brainiac's ship. Among the first villains he ever faced was the Ultra-Humanite, who developed a lifelong enmity towards him. He also quickly made an enemy of his former childhood friend Lex Luthor, who had become a ruthless scientist and businessman.

At some point in his early days, Clark discovered another survivor of Krypton's destruction, his own cousin, Kara Zor-El, whose ship had been caught in a time warp on the way to Earth. After a brief stint in an orphanage, Kara was adopted by retired D.E.O. Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers in the small town of Midvale, and joined her cousin as the hero Supergirl.

Over the course of their careers, Superman and Batman and became close allies, despite some initial distrust and the stark difference between their methods and personalities. They would frequently operate as partners, a pairing referred to by some as 'The World's Finest'. At some point, they fought the tyrant Mongul MDCCXC together.

Shortly after their marriage, Lois became pregnant with a child, and Clark delivered his son, Jonathan Samuel Kent, in the Fortress of Solitude. Their son, Jonathan Kent, who became the new Superboy and became Damian Wayne's best friend, formed the duo "Super Sons". Conner Kent (aka Kon-El, Superboy) is not a biological son, but a clone/hybrid based on Superman's and Lex Luthor's DNA. He is also part of the Superfamily and is Tim Drake's best friend.

Clark has black, slightly curly hair, blue eyes, and glasses that soften his image and make him more human, but he only wears them in public during his daily life. Clark tends to see the best in people and often trusts those around him. He genuinely believes that qualities like compassion are what truly make a person human, and he considers people to be generally noble. Clark often feels a sense of disgust towards his alien heritage, as he believes that his biology prevents him from being truly "human." This guilt over his own heritage has a significant impact on his actions, as he blames himself when his secret causes harm to those close to him. Despite his good intentions, Clark often makes hasty decisions without considering all the possible negative consequences. He has a strong sense of responsibility and a hero complex. When the people he loves are in danger, Clark loses his composure. Growing up on a farm in Smallville has taught him the value of hard work, but material possessions are not his top priority.

Clark has quite a few impressive abilities: flight, super vision (thermal, X-ray, microscopic telescopic), super strength, super hearing, super breath (he can freeze objects with a powerful exhalation or create a hurricane wind. Also, he can hold his breath for a long time - this allows him to stay underwater or in space without equipment). He is also prone to rapid regeneration under the yellow sun.

Lois Lane is the daughter of Sam Lane, a military officer and Ella Lane, and is the older sister to Lucy Lane. Sam desired a son but instead received two daughters, and resented his children and treated them as if they were members of his unit during their childhoods. Lois received combat training, and once admitted that she was taught how to throw knives with her toes. Lois' harsh upbringing and her combat training made her believe that she had to fight to get her rightful share from the men in the world, becoming a military brat due to her family having to move a lot.

When she was fifteen years old, while her family was living near Metropolis, she approached Perry White at the Daily Planet and asked him for a job. Lois lied about her age to get the job, but Lucy later told Perry the truth. Overhearing some reporters say that whoever got a scoop on Lex Luthor would get on Perry's good side, Lois decided to do so and sneak into Luthor's tower after dark. Attempting to steal some files, she was caught by Luthor himself, who gave a paddling and sent her on her way. Despite failing to get the files, Perry hired her, impressed with her determination. As a reporter of the Daily Planet, Lois quickly became a success, winning a coveted Pulitzer Prize early in her career.

Lois was invited aboard an experimental space shuttle, the Constitution, but it collided with a civilian aircraft. Suddenly, a mysterious man flying saved her and the shuttle, and Lois met her savior. The two showed instant chemistry, and got the byline for the front page newspaper story - "Mysterious Superman saves Space Plane!", thus becoming the first person to call him by the name of "Superman". Lois wanted to interview Superman and met him after faking a car accident to get his attention. However, Perry revealed that a new reporter he just hired had beaten her to the exclusive story - Clark Kent.

It took time for Lois to forgive Clark for beating her to the punch, but the two became good friends and began dating. After learning that he was Superman, Lois sometimes interviewed him. Lois means a lot to Clark. If he lost her he'd lose his humanity. Lois also had a habit of teasing Clark who seemed fairly wimpy despite his build and success.

Lois is black hair and unique violet eyes. She also has a toned and good figure.

The main features are fearlessness and willingness to take risks, professionalism and obsession with work. She's a first-class reporter: tenacious, observant, and able to put the details together. Straightforwardness and sharp tongue, stubbornness and independence. She doesn't like it when people try to "protect" her or remove her from the case, especially because she is a woman. She proves by deed that she is able to cope on her own. Skepticism, a strong sense of justice, emotionality, and vulnerability. For all her armor, Lois knows how to experience deeply: she genuinely loves, reacts acutely to betrayal, worries about loved ones, and sometimes suffers from her own decisions.

Jonathan Samuel Kent is the firstborn son of Kryptonian superhero Superman and news reporter Lois Lane. Jon's first name is taken after his paternal adoptive grandfather, Jonathan Kent and his middle name comes from his maternal grandfather, Sam Lane.

Jon grew up oblivious of his parent's past, deprived of their real identities while living an apparently normal life, but he was always suspicious of their sometimes awkward behavior, and always showed curiosity for, unbeknownst to him, his father's secret exploits.

Jon later discovered he had superpowers, including heat vision when he accidentally killed his cat.

Superman introduced Jon to Batman and Wonder Woman as Superboy, making him a part of the Justice League.

While searching for a tree for Christmas, Jon accidentally torched some woodlands near a swamp in Hamilton. He was subsequently rescued by Maya Ducard aka Nobody and Goliath. Jon later awakened in the Batcave and found out that Robin had been keeping him under surveillance for a long time. The two initially did not get along, and the situation was further complicated when Batman and Superman arrived, blaming each other for the conflict.

The ensuing melee is abruptly averted when Jon used his Freeze Breath to separate the two sides and allow him to explain the situation to his father. While their fathers were discussing the lab tests that Damian had performed on Jon, the two boys went off to look at Damian's pets. However, due to Damian's snide remarks and goading, Jon lost his temper and another brawl broke out between them. This was also put down quickly as Batman looks down on them in furious silence.

In order to properly discipline their sons and teach them the value of working together, Superman and Batman have them undergo a series of challenges. However their lack of teamwork and animosity toward each other cause them to fail every challenge. The boys finally manage to put aside their differences and worked together in order to save their fathers from an apparent threat in the Batcave, but this later turns out to be a ruse. At this point, Alfred Pennyworth declares them to be the Super Sons.

Jonathan has short black hair, expressive blue eyes and fair skin. He's a young boy.

His main features are: youthful enthusiasm and adventurism. He often rushes into danger with fervor and a thirst for adventure — Lois' spirit is felt in this. Optimism and bravery, impulsiveness.

After Superman's disappearance, four new candidates appeared. Among them was Conner Kent, a clone created by the DNA of Lex Luthor and Clark. While the world debated which of the new 'supermen' were true inheritors of the Man of Steel's mantle, Superboy was the clear favourite on social media, attracting a sizable following among the youth.

He was born in a test tube at Cadmus and with the funding of Luthor, he developed abilities like superman. While they weren't like real Kryptonian powers, they were similar. His signature ability was an invisible telekinetic field that surrounded his body like a second skin. He used it to mimic Superman’s core powers: Super strength, flight, Disassembly/Assembly, and Shock-waves. After Superboy proved his heroics, Superman officially accepted him as family and gave him the Kryptonian name Kon-El, making him an honorary member of the House of El. Then he went to live with Maratha and Johnathan Kent in Kansas while going with Superman to metropolis to save people as Superboy.

Eventually, Superboy would gain the human name Conner Kent, from Clark Kent. Conner would go on to become a founding member of the original Young Justice, alongside his best friends, Tim Drake(Red Robin), Cassie Sandsmark(Wonder Girl), and Bart Allen(Impulse). One day, after many adventures, Young Justice would sadly disband.

Conner has black curly hair, slightly cropped at the temples and blue eyes. He's pretty tall a muscular build and has his ears pierced. He's always wearing a leather jacket with a black shirt with the super symbol on it. While he tries to be a good hero, like superman, he has anger issues. (he's getting better). Conner likes to flirt with everyone he meets, no matter who or how old they may be. Some call him very shameless but he just smirks. He even playfully flirts with his teammates in and out of costume. Even on the battlefield and during missions. He also likes to flirt (and insult) in Kryptonian because he thinks its funny when people get confused. He's also tried to teach the team the language but only few actually learned to speak and write it. His relationship with Clark (aka Superman) is good. But he knows that Clark is still sort of wary of him since he's still in contact with Luthor. Speaking of which, Luthor is a problematic parent, always using Conner as way to one up Superman since he's Conners true guardian and often brings up the fact that he allows Conner to stay with Maratha and Jonathon on the farm.

Kara Zor El was born in Argo City to Zor-El and Alura In-Ze. During Kara's naming ceremony, her uncle Kru-El attempted to kill her father and her uncle, Jor-El, intending to take control of the House of El for himself. However, the attempt was not successful, and Kru-El was arrested before being sentenced to the Phantom Zone. As she grew, Kara developed a keen interest in history. As such, she became an avid student of the teacher and historian Catar-Ol.

Argo City survived Krypton's destruction as a result of the efforts of her father, though many of its citizens perished. Though her mother Alura survived the initial destruction, she eventually fell ill and died as a result radiation poisoning as the minerals in the soil beneath Argo slowly became Kryptonite. Ever the scientist, Zor-El created a solution; he would mass-produce lead shields and spread them over every inch of exposed land in Argo. Every hand was required to complete this massive task, including Kara's. The task was long and ardous, and by its completion, only five thousand citizens survived out of the initial eighteen thousand, and many who survived were still slowly dying of radiation exposure from before the lead shield was completed.

In the next year, she continued to survive in the slowly dying city, living a relatively solitary life. However, as stellar debris hit the exterior of the unsteerable Argo, it penetrated the city's air bubble, and asteroid fragments rained down on the city, penetrating the lead shield they had struggled so hard to build, dooming the survivors of Argo.

Desperate, her father salvaged what was left of the lead shield and his own creations and built a rocket capable of carrying a singular passenger, and used it to send his daughter out into the cosmos, leaving her as the the sole known survivor of Argo.

Kara eventually arrived on Earth at some point during the early years of her cousin Kal-El's career as Superman. During this period, he briefly put her in an orphanage as part of her cover, something that continued to be a sore subject later on in their lives. Later, she was adopted by retired D.E.O. Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers and lived with them in the small town of Midvale as Linda Kara Danvers, using a chromatic super-comb to change her hair color to brown and mantain a secret identity. Kara met Dick Grayson, the first Robin and Bruce's (aka Batman) favorite. They arranged a date, which ended disastrously. Kara did eventually soften a bit on the Boy Wonder; she later told her cousin she saw that he had just been trying to impress her, and how she reacted felt intolerant, judgmental, and manipulative, and that she didn't like who she was around him. However, some animosity between the pair remained for some time.

A while later Kara met Superboy when she was taking some time by herself. They talked, but when she learned about him being a clone, she attacked, believing him to be evil. However, she stopped when she realized that Superboy didn't know that Kryptonian clones were mindless killing machines. Seeing that Superboy wasn't evil, Kara protected him from police attack and opted to leave him alone, going to confront Kal about Kon.

Due to the fact that Kara's ship arrived much later, her cousin Clark is older than her, but in fact she is older than him. Despite the fact that they are relatives and do the same thing, there are differences in them. Superman is characterized by idealism, empathy, and a desire to solve problems peacefully. He tries not to harm even his enemies and acts based on learned moral principles. Supergirl, aka Kara, on the other hand, is often more short-tempered and straightforward. Her past, filled with grief and anger, makes her less inclined to compromise and more willing to take tough action in battle. In some interpretations, she sees truth in people first of all, not goodness.

Kara is blonde with a hairstyle slightly below her shoulders and blue eyes, her body is toned and masculine due to the physiology of Kryptonians and training.

In her youth, she was naive, impulsive and very proactive — she often acted ahead when her cousin Clark was still a baby. Due to the tragedy (the death of Krypton, the loss of her family, and a long stay in space in a capsule), rigidity, cynicism, and rebellion appeared in her character. She learns to control it over time. And she's doing it, mostly. She can omit playful or sharp twitches. She is prone to alcohol.

Krypto is often depicted as a white dog resembling a Labrador Retriever. He typically has a distinct cape, resembling Superman's, which is usually red. Krypto also sometimes has a symbol on his chest that resembles Superman's 'S' emblem, emphasizing his connection to the Man of Steel. Krypto, like most Earth dogs, displays traits of loyalty and companionship with his owners. However, he is also very playful and mischievous, which combined with his supernatural strength and abilities often leads to his actions having destructive results. As shown when he destroyed parts of the Fortress of Solitude after being left alone, when he further injured an already wounded Superman when he called for him, and when he destroyed Mr. Terrific's T-Spheres thinking they were toys. Furthermore, he seems to lack any formal dog training as he struggled to listen to commands such as "sit" or "drop it". This can be attributed to the fact that his owner, Supergirl, seemingly does not bother training him and even encourages his playfulness.

Regardless, despite his lack of formal respect for Superman, with Superman even stating he's not a very good dog, he still cares for the hero and would gladly fight alongside and protect him and Metroplis.

As Kryptonians (except Lois), they all have a common weakness — Krypton and compassion. Although Jon and Clark suffer the second most often.
