Superman's History

Kal-El was born in 1979 on the planet Krypton into the prestigious House of El to his parents, scientists Jor-El and an unnamed woman. Shortly after his birth, Krypton was on the brink of destruction due to its unstable core about to explode, so the House of El chose to save their children from the impending catastrophe by sending them away from the planet. Kal-El was rocketed to Earth alongside his older cousin, Kara Zor-El. Making it to Earth safely, the alien infant landed in a field where his pod was discovered by "Pa" and "Ma" Kent, a kindly human couple of farmers who decided to raise him in Smallville, Kansas as their son, "Clark Kent."
