As the planet Krypton braced for destruction, the infant Kal-El was placed in a rocketship by his parents and sent into space. Arriving on Earth as the Last Son of Krypton, he was found and raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent on their Kansas farm. Clark Kent manifests the amazing powers of super-strength, flight, and invulnerability under Earth's yellow sun. Instilled with the values of right and wrong, he has taken on the identity of Superman to defend his adopted planet.
Powers and abilities
In all depictions, Superman has always been portrayed as one of the most powerful superheroes in comic book history. As a Kryptonian, Superman is only as strong as the average human being. However, having basked in yellow-colored sunlight since his infantile years, Superman is endowed with several superpowers, giving him unbridled strength no ordinary human could ever hope to gain. Superman's most prominent powers are flight, superstrength, heat vision, ice breath and X-ray vision. Fittingly nicknamed the 'Man of Steel', Superman possesses nigh-absolute immunity to hostile encounters. Superman's resistance varies throughout everyone who has handled the name but it remains consistent that he absolutely immune to all firearms known to man, from ballistics to explosives. However, he has been known to take damage from magical attacks as well as energy based attacks.
Superman's most well known and iconic weakness is Kryptonite, ore fragments spread throughout the galaxy from Krypton's debris after its destruction. It radiates a glow which cancels out Superman's powers and causes harm whenever he nears it and can even kill him if he experiences prolonged exposure. Superman has a lesser known weakness against red sun radiation.
