Kal-El comes from a destroyed planet called Krypton, and was raised here on earth by a farming couple in a town called Smallville. As he grew up, Kal-El, who was renamed Clark, manifested abilities beyond human understanding, which made his Earthling father Jonathan reveal that he is actually an alien, which leaves Clark confused and insecure. Clark, in search of the truth, ends up following the coordinates left by the ship in which he came to earth and finds the fortress of solitude, where he finds his space father Jor-El, who had transferred his and Kal's mother Lara consciences to the ship hidden on the fortress. Jor explains Clark's purpose on earth and that he can serve as a light, as hope for people even if they reject him and Clark knows this, but thanks to his father's words he realizes that his powers are not curses, they are gifts, gifts that will have to be used for the good of humanity, in a world that considers this old-fashioned.
