Martha Kent
for Martha Kent in Superboy: A Clark Kent story
Suggested by matthewfenner
Set in the quiet heart of Smallville, this R-rated origin story follows 15-year-old Clark Kent at the end of his freshman year—a kid learning to balance adolescence, secrets, and the growing burden of being different. For two months, he’s been secretly fighting low-level criminals as Superboy, hiding behind a mask and a homemade costume: a blue longsleeve T-shirt with a painted Superman logo, jeans, and red Converse shoes. But Clark’s world changes when his shy, reclusive classmate Matthew Thomson begins to change. After enduring years of relentless bullying, Matthew’s mind snaps the moment his telekinetic powers emerge, transforming his pain into pure rage. One by one, his tormentors die—thrown, crushed, torn apart by invisible force—until six are dead and four remain. Now, Smallville is gripped by fear, and Clark is forced into his first true test as a hero. Facing Matthew means confronting someone his own age, someone not born evil but broken by cruelty. Their showdown is raw and tragic, filled with moral conflict and devastating power. Clark must decide how far he’ll go to stop his friend before he kills again—and whether justice means saving Matthew or ending him. The battle leaves Smallville scarred, and Clark forever changed, realizing that being a hero isn’t about glory—it’s about sacrifice, compassion, and the heavy cost of doing what’s right.
