Cuando era un bebé, Kal-El es enviado a la Tierra desde un Krypton agonizante por sus padres Jor-El y Lara. Su nave aterriza en Kansas, donde es adoptado por Jonathan y Martha Kent y criado como Clark Kent. Ya adolescente en Smallville, Clark es un chico reservado, aficionado al periodismo y enamorado en secreto de su amiga de la infancia, Lana Lang. Víctima de las burlas escolares, siempre se sintió distinto, pero sus poderes apenas comienzan a manifestarse poco antes de la repentina muerte de Jonathan Kent. Clark descubre entonces la Fortaleza de la Soledad y los primeros indicios de su herencia kryptoniana. En paralelo, Smallville atrae al brillante científico John Corben, experto en energías exóticas, obsesionado con los meteoritos verdes caídos la misma noche en que llegó Clark. Para el joven, Corben se convierte en un modelo a seguir y en alguien que le demuestra que no está solo. Pero la muerte de Jonathan lo impulsa a usar sus habilidades emergentes para ayudar a los demás, adoptando por primera vez el símbolo kryptoniano de la esperanza: la “S”. Corben, cada vez más obsesionado, descubre el poder colosal de la kryptonita y sospecha que Clark no es del todo humano. En un experimento arriesgado, fusiona su cuerpo con el mineral, quedando desfigurado y condenado a depender de él: nace Metallo, un arma viviente que considera a Superman una amenaza.
