Superman / Clark Kent
The Last Son of Krypton, raised in Kansas, who uses his god-like powers to serve as Earth's greatest protector and a symbol of hope for all humanity.
Story
Born Kal-El on the doomed planet Krypton, he was launched into space by his parents just before the planet's destruction. Landing in Smallville, Kansas, he was discovered and raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who named him Clark. Growing up, he discovered that Earth's yellow sun provided him with god-like powers, including flight, invulnerability, and heat vision. Guided by his adoptive parents' moral compass, he moved to Metropolis to work as a journalist for the Daily Planet, using his position to stay close to the world's news. As Superman, he is the premier protector of Earth and a founding member of the Justice League. He struggles with the duality of his existence, being an alien who loves humanity more than his own life, often facing moral dilemmas that his strength alone cannot solve. He remains a beacon of truth and justice, balancing his immense power with profound humility.

Notes
Altruistic, principled, compassionate, determined, humble, Clark Kent seeks to protect humanity, inspire hope. Possesses flight, super strength, invulnerability, heat vision, and freeze breath. The cost is the heavy burden of responsibility and the constant fear of losing control or failing to save everyone. Kryptonite, magic, and depleted yellow solar energy weaken him. Red cape, S-shield emblem, blue suit, red boots.
