[edit]Kal-El / Clark Kent / Superman
[edit]Kal-El / Clark Kent / Superman (portrayed by David Corenswet), is a Kryptonian refugee who was sent to Earth as a baby by his parents, Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van, in order to save him from the destruction of the planet Krypton. He was raised by his adoptive parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent, in Smallville, Kansas, and gained extraordinary superhuman powers from the sun. Having been inspired to his heroism by Jor-El and Lara's farewell message which was damaged during the journey, Clark began his career as Superman, the most powerful metahuman on Earth, by introducing himself to the world while maintaining his secret identity at his day job by working as a journalist at the Daily Planet in Metropolis alongside Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane who is aware of his identity.
However, after a fight with an kaiju created by billionaire Lex Luthor as a distraction for him to sneak into the Fortress of Solitude in Antarctica and steal Jor-El and Lara's farewell message which he decodes it in its entirely, Clark discovers that Jor-El and Lara, in the second half of the message, urge him to take over Earth and take in multiple wives as he needs to restore his race, much to his shock. With the public opinion turned against him, Clark voluntarily surrenders himself to the U.S. government for questioning. Because of Clark's powers, Rick Flag, Sr. gives custody of the hero to Luthor who imprisons him in an artificial pocket dimension where he holds his enemies, including Krypto—a superpowered dog being pet sat by Superman—and the metahuman Metamorpho who is blackmailed to turn himself into kryptonite to render him powerless while in custody. After witnessing Luthor kill a civilian while interrogating Superman, a horrified Metamorpho helps Clark escape and free Krypto and Joey, his baby son.
After Lois and Mister Terrific, one of the Justice Gang, help Clark, Metamorpho, Krypto and Joey escape from the pocket dimension, Clark is taken to the Kent farmhouse in Smallville to recuprate from the kryptonite. While Guy Gardner, Metamorpho, and Hawkgirl all prevent in the invasion of Jarhanpur by Boravia and President Vasil Ghurkos is dropped to his death from a large height, Clark and Mister Terrific battle the Engineer and the mysterious "Hammer of Boravia" who is actually Ultraman, an amored clone of himself controlled by Luthor using the drones he was using to monitor the fight. After engaging Ultraman in a long and violent fight at the rift created by Luthor to begin tearing across Metropolis in half, Clark is able to defeat him by having Krypto destroy the drones, preventing Luthor and his team from giving Ultraman instructions on how to respond to his foe's attacks and trapping him within a bus being pulled into a black hole within the rift.
He infiltrates LuthorCorp and subdues Luthor with Mister Terrific and Krypto, closing the rift. With Luthor's scheme revealed to the public, Superman's name is cleared and Clark recovers from his injuries at the Fortress by watching footage of his childhood memories in Smallville growing up with Jonathan and Martha as his parents while Kara Zor-El, his cousin, drunkenly visits to pick up Krypto and thanking him for tending him in her absence.
