Kal-El was born as his home planet, Krypton, but the world was at its end. His father, Jor-El, a brilliant scientist, sent his son away in a rocket with a few choice items, including the symbol of his family. Kal-El landed on Earth in Smallville, Kansas. He was discovered and raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent. They named him Clark from Martha's maiden name. Clark was raised with a strong sense of ethics and morals and when he came of age, he discovered Earth's Sun radiated him and gave him a range of super powers. Kent still remained distant and almost acted his humanity, often being forgetful and clumsy.
After a couple years, he decided to use his powers for the sake of humanity and became Superman. After relocating to Metropolis, he took a day job as a reporter for the Daily Planet. Over time, Superman discovered a weakness to red sun radiation and irradiated debris of Krypton, dubbed Kryptonite. Undaunted, Superman cleaned up Metropolis and defied Lex Luthor.
During the construction of the Watchtower in space, Superman's powers were put toward the effort. However, the project was delayed when Superman received word that Lex Luthor was terrorizing the Metropolis Police Department. He, Wonder Woman, and the Flash encountered a naked Luthor claiming to be from a parallel Earth. Superman used his X-Ray vision to confirm his claim two ways, to check Luthor's organs and Stryker's Island where their Luthor was currently incarcerated. Despite all this and hearing Luthor's story, Superman still didn't trust him but couldn't deny his duty to help protect an Earth.
Upon arriving on this Earth, Superman made short work of Superwoman, Breakdance, and Owlman. After hearing Luthor's plan, Superman stepped in and offered an alternate strategy, attack multiple targets at once in teams of two. Superman and Alexander Luthor headed to Ultraman's headquarters to take on the villain. Only Mr. Action was present and tried to brush off the heroes. After Luthor goaded him into a fight, Superman locked him in a hold. After Luthor reasoned he should be the one to defeat Ultraman, Superman honored his request. In the final battle, Superman relied on his wits to outsmart Power Ring and Ultraman.
