As the planet of Krypton crumbles, General Zod stages a coup as concerned leader Jor-El and his wife send their infant son Kal-El to a distant world called Earth. While the young child travels through space with an object containing the DNA of his home planet, General Zod and his cohorts are sentenced to an eternity in a black-hole prison. Now on earth 25 years later, Clark Kent continues his journey to become the greatest Superhero. After defeating Parasite and Metallo it was obvious that more super humans would begin to appear, which has been a challenge for the young Kal-El. One day, while he was in his apartment he begins to hear a very high pitched sound, an unbearable beep. Clark follows the sound until it reaches its source, it took him to a beautiful ice palace in the Arctic, the Fortress of Solitude. Upon entering, Clark sees that there is a crystal that calls him, he takes it and his father, Jor-El, whom we saw last season, is present to warn Kal-El that he is not the only survivor of Krypton. That the Earth is in great danger because his uncle Zod-El escaped from the Phantom Zone and Kal is the only one who can stop him.
