Bio: Originally born on the distant planet of Krypton, Kal-El was the only offspring of renowned Kryptonian scientist Jor-El and his wife Lara. Shortly after his birth, Kal-El's parents had placed him in a spacecraft and sent him away in order to save him from Krypton's destruction. He'd landed on Earth in 1989, bringing with him pieces of his homeworld. More specifically, his spacecraft and the resulting meteor shower had crashlanded in Smallville, Kansas, where he'd been found by childless couple Jonathan and Martha Kent. The couple took him in, naming him Clark, after Martha's maiden name. Twelve years later, he'd learned of his alien origins, and encountered the first in a long line of 'meteor freaks,' regular humans mutated by radioactive pieces of Krypton, known as kryptonite.
