Clark Kent (Earth-2899)

"The worst part of being Superman is that while I can save anyone..I cannot save everyone, even though many expect me to."

- Superman

History
Superman is one of the most powerful beings on planet Earth, being an alien immigrant named Kal-El from the planet Krypton who was raised in Smallville, Kansas, to become an American superhero. Raised with high moral ideals, he uses his incredible strength, speed, flight and various other superpowers to fight evil and protect the innocent. In his civilian identity he is Clark Kent, a mild-mannered reporter working for the Daily Planet in Metropolis.

Origin
The planet Krypton was on the brink of destruction, married scientists Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van built a rocket they could use to save their unborn son Kal-El in his gestation chamber. Wanting him to reclaim the fullness in life denied him by the sterility of Kryptonian culture, his parents sent him to Earth, where exposure to the yellow sunlight would charge his cells into living solar batteries and gift him with incredible powers.

Upon landing, the child was discovered by Jonathan and Martha Kent in Smallville, Kansas. The kindly couple decided they would adopt and raise him, naming him Clark Kent. Clark's abilities increased steadily as he grew up, with super-strength and invulnerability manifesting at an early age.

Shortly after high school he pursued his education at Metropolis University, at the age of 18, while seeking out a living to put himself through school. One day in public ran into former classmates that used to bully him. They convinced Clark to come with them to an alley where no one was at. They thought it would be fun to now bully Clark as an adult, but this time the situation was different. Clark was an adult and no one could tell him what to do, and all his anger he has been holding in for years took control of him. He punched all three of the boys that were bullying him, making them fly across the alley and into the wall, knocking them unconscious.

After returning home, and having a discussion with his parents about his powers, his parents finally showed him the rocket he arrived in and his foreign heritage to their son, leading Clark to the decision that he would become a hero in secret and use his powers to give the world hope for a better life for everybody.

When inside his rocket, Clark saw the symbol of what humans would know as "S". He touched it and upon contact, centuries of knowledge is implanted in his brain. From the knowledge Clark had learned, he figured out "S", was a symbol of Hope on Krypton. Since Clark's plan was to bring hope to the world, he thought "S" would be the perfect symbol to put on his costume. His father created a costume based on Kryptonian under armor. Clark used his knowledge of Kryptonian technology to create a belt that would suppress the amount of solar energy he can absorb, that way he would be able to fight human enemies without destroying their body.

Upon his first time Clark went to go do a heroic deed, it was saving people from a burning building, caused by a pyromaniac. Seeing the amazing feats that he did, the citizens saw Clark as a super man. Then they noticed the "S" on his chest and gave him the title Superman.

But under this nice personality, is a core filled with anger and sorrow created from the negative events in his history. Because the events of his bullying, he often has an extreme temper, that will cause him to be very violent, but he will never murder again.
