Kal-El (True Heroes)

"If there's one thing I learned, Eric, I am immortal, and my friends are not. And that makes me alone in this world."

- Superman to Thor Kal-El, or also known by his well-known alias Clark Kent or Superman is the last Kryptonian to have ever existed in the universe. Stranded on Earth in his space ship after it was knocked back by the sheer force caused by the planet's explosion, Kal-El landed on a more primitive planet called Earth. Seeing that he gained amazing powers and immortality under Earth's yellow sun, he decided to use his powers for good. But throughout his history on Earth, time always change and many of Superman's past careers were lost to history; his friends and allies leaving him due to their mortal nature. However, in the ages succeeding the time of World War II, Superman finally found a good time to use his powers for good once again, with new allies of similar power. Leading the first Justice League, Superman thought that finally regained his life's purpose until the League's final battle against the villain, Korvac. Many of his allies perished either by Korvac's own hands or in the events succeeding it. Enraged, out of sheer anger Superman then accidentally broke his law of not killing by overloading Korvac's energy absorption using his heat vision, disintegrating his body. With that, the Justice League's later branded to be "disbanded" with the international world doing crackdowns of beings with super powers and vigilantes. Frustated and stressed, Superman would later retire for almost half a century until events transpiring around the Asgardian villain, Loki and his new "allies", AIM drew him back to the life of heroism. After defeating Loki with a group of superhumans, Superman is asked to lead the "new league" by Eric Masterson, also known as Thor. Seeing that threats like Loki or AIM's forces could resurface in the future, he accepts the offer and finally ushers in a new era of peace, defending Earth alongside his new comrades against all that threaten the planet, both from the past, present, or future.
