"SUPERMAN!!" by ImmaBE 2011/05/13 20:23
So in my pIC UNIVERSITY, (this week's topic) we are talking about Smallville. It's a show about Clark Kent before he became Superman.

Now we'll talk about him. :D

Superman

Superman was the first character of the superhero genre, as well as the first superhero to maintain the concept of a secret identity.

Born as Kal-El, Clark Kent is a super-powered alien hailing from the now-destroyed planet Krypton. He is one of the last of his race. He was raised in and lived in Smallville, Kansas up untill his early adult years when he moved to Metropolis. He works at the Daily Planet.


Born to Jor-El and Lara, Clark was sent to Earth by his parents to fulfill a destiny in which he would be the savior of humanity; he was rocketed off of the doomed planet just seconds before its destruction. Accompanied by a massive meteor shower, his spaceship crash-landed in a field in Smallville, Kansas; there, he was found and adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who raised him as their son, instilling in him strong moral principles and teaching him to use his abilities for good.


Thanks to the yellow sun, Clark has developed many Kryptonian powers that have grown stronger as he gets older.

As part of his double life, during his high school years, Clark secretly fought crime around his hometown and later moved to Metropolis, moonlighting as a vigilante known first as the Good Samaritan, then as the Red-Blue Blur, and then as the Blur. By day, he works as a reporter at the Daily Planet and manages his family's farm.

physical Appearance
Physically, Clark is 6'3", broad-shouldered and muscular, fitting the description of tall, dark and handsome. He has dark brown, slightly wavy hair. His physique is well-built, and he has a sturdy, "weighty" appearance.

Clark often wore a red jacket and blue shirt or the other way around.

Clark now goes by the name The Blur. As the Blur, Clark wears dark clothing with his family's Kryptonian symbol on his chest, which alludes to the Superman costume.

(Clark donned a new attire, a red leather jacket with the House of El symbol engraved on it and a blue shirt underneath.)

powers & Abilities
Clark's superhuman powers and abilities are powered and generated by the energy of Earth's yellow sun. As a Kryptonian, his cells are veritable solar batteries that absorb and metabolize solar energy. He converts this energy into his abilities. His abilities usually appear suddenly and he must learn to control them. They evolve and grow stronger as Clark gets older.

Solar Energy Absorption: This ability is the primal core from which all of Clark's superhuman powers and abilities manifest from. The interior of his body stores sunlight emitted from the Earth's Yellow sun, and seems to operate like a battery.

Super strength: Clark, while being directly exposed to the Earth's yellow sun, becomes more powerful because his strength capacity gets magnified to such a high degree. Clark, as a growing adolescent, was extremely strong, and as such, he would often be seen using his strength to help out around the Kent farm, by plunging fence posts into the ground, driving in nails with his thumb, lifting up tractors and other heavy machinery for his father Jonathan. Also, during this time, he would use this ability to stop rogue metahumans and save people all around Smallville, Kansas. He apparently, was aware of this power since the Kents found him in the field, and would on occasions, break tables and walls with his fists when he was little, until his parents taught him to never to use his powers in such a violent fashion. Clark, as he grew older, got stronger, which is now to the point where he can virtually pick up any object or thing.

Super speed: Clark can move and or react at speeds that far exceed the speed of sound barrier whether it is on land or underwater; according to a recent comment made by Lionel Luthor, Clark can move at speeds greater than the speed of light itself. Clark through accelerated vision perceives the entire world in slow motion. Clark, as a growing adolescent, could run or move extremely fast, and would often be seen using this ability to rescue people in very tight situations. Even as a child, Clark could, move fast, even more so than kids his own age, and even full adults, although he displayed signs of enhanced speed as a toddler. At first, Clark could travel around to places in Smallville in minutes, and as such, his movements could be perceived by his family and friends but not by those who were ignorant to his abilities. Later on, as he harnessed this ability and through years of practice, became too fast for anyone to follow and or detect, and even machines couldn't record his movement.

Speed Reading & Super Memory: Clark can, due to his vastly accelerated brain activity, receive a lot of information at once, and can read texts and pictures extremely fast

Invulnerability: Under a yellow sun, Clark bears an invisible genetic force field aura that renders him invulnerable to most forms of physical and even mental harm. Much like his super-speed ability, Clark's durability capacity increases gradually as he gets older. When he was younger, he was immune to bullets, flames, cold temperatures, and all earthly diseases and sicknesses, and was able to collide with cars head on and come out completely un-phased. Also, due to the aura that surrounds Clark, even his hair is somewhat invulnerable to pain and damage. Now as an adult, along with still being immune to diseases, bullets, flames and ice; rockets/silos, bombs and lasers can't harm him in any way. He is now basically indestructible; even something devastating like an atom or nuclear bomb would have no effect on him. However, despite his high resistance, forms of kryptonite, aliens and Kryptonian objects/artifacts can greatly damage him.

Healing factor: Clark is regenerative and can heal or recover from wounds instantly when he is not exposed to Green kryptonite. Direct sunlight greatly amplifies this capacity of this ability.

Super stamina: Clark can run, exercise, or take part in strenuous action for days on end without getting tired; he never sweats unless he is exposed to Green kryptonite.

X-ray vision: Clark can see through any solid object except for lead by concentrating . It may appear as a skeletal image similar to the ones seen on hospital x-rays, or it may be a full color image. Clark appears to have mastered the skeletal images over full color.

Heat vision: Clark can emit extreme heat and fire beams from his eyes based on his level of sexual stimulation. Over time and training, he has learned to develop and control his sexuality and therefore his heat vision.

Super hearing: Clark can hear sounds and or frequencies from vast distances. As an adult, Clark can multitask and use super-hearing and can also super-speed and hear conversations while he's moving.

Super breath/Arctic breath: At age 19, Clark was vulnerable in the Phantom Zone and returned to Earth with super-strong sneezes. When he got better, he honed the sneezes as super breath. He later learned how to use an arctic version of his super breath which can be used to freeze objects.

Super dexterity: Clark is able to throw a basketball into a hoop yards away easily and he never trips.

Super leaps: Clark can combine his super strength and dexterity to perform highly accurate super leaps. The first time Clark jumped a vast distance, he displayed great hesitancy; since then, he's shown increasing amounts of confidence and control over his super leaps. His "super leaps," as of now, are a substitute for flying, as Clark has yet to fully learn how to fly.

Flight: After he fully embraced his destiny, he was able to fly, enabling him to hover and levitate. In a rather short amount of time, Clark has proven to have completely mastered this abiity.

Longevity: Clark will live for an extremely long period of time, explaining it as if he can "go on forever."

Micro vision: Clark has the ability to see things too small for the human eye to normally see.

Telescopic vision: Clark has the ability to see things miles away.

Skilled hand-to-hand combatant: After fully emerging himself in his Kryptonian training, Clark learned hand-to-hand combat, which allowed him to go toe-to-toe with an adversary who would have previously easily outclassed him.
