The Man of Steel

Another place, another time... 

A scientist has been observing the planet's seismic activities for quite some time now. Knowing that disaster awaits them, he informed the high council about the situation and explained that if they can access the Phantom Zone tentatively, the people can be saved and survive this disaster. But they mocked him and considered his assesments of their planet preposterous and doubtful. 

Since there are a few moments left before the planet explodes, he still managed and took the chance in coordinating his latest observations to their central computer named Braniac but unknowingly it knows of the impending danger that awaits them and has already downloaded all of the planet's knowledge for itself and for it's self-preservation. 

He hurried back home and informed his wife that they need to hurry, at least to save their only son. He had prepared for this, he built a rocket ship that can propel it's passenger to hyperspace.

Suddenly, the planet shook like none before and only time is of the essence for the last son of Krypton. The infant was placed in the ship, looking on are his parents hoping for the best for their son...Kal-el. Goodbye our son, with moments left Lana and Jor-el watched their son fly into the atmosphere. Krypton exploded hurling tons of it's debris into the vast cosmos.

Journeying through space, the ship found a habitable place for it to land...Earth. Crashing through a field of wheat, an unsuspecting couple Martha and Jonathan watched the rocket plummet from the sky. Curiously, they saw a baby boy crawled out from the ship and quickly cradled it. They adopted the baby Kal-el and named him Clark Joseph Kent.
He grew in a small town called Smallville, young Clark developed extraordinary powers and understanding that he can absorb the sun's radiant energy, he is able to shoot lasers from his optics, leap in great distances, run faster than a speeding train and possessed the strength that ordinary mortals could only dream of...

Searching for his purpose, he went around the world helping people and developing his new found powers, his path lead him to Metropolis where his adventure begins as...

Superman...The Man of Steel.
