My father used to tell me that, "I was put on this planet for a reason." My name is Clark Kent, I grew up in a town called Smallville. I lived there most of my life with the two best parents in the world, Johnathan (rest in peace) and Martha Kent. I remember back in the good ole days in Smallville High, my first love...Lana Lang. She meant the most to me. But things inevitably change. Once my father died, I thought my life was basically done with, seeing how I couldnt bare to not see him anymore. Then something happend...I heard a loud ring, that apparently, only I could hear. It lead me to the most amazing discovery of my entire life.
That discovery was the truth about myself, my origions, my biological family, everything. I found out I wasnt human...that I was an alien, Im from another planet, which happend to be thousands of lightyears from this galaxy. A planet called Krypton. My body's exposure to Earth's yellow son has given me extraordinary abilities, which make me far superior to any mortal man. My biological father's name is Jor-EL, and my mother Lara. My real name is Kal-EL. They sent me here to Earth because of Krypton's near explosion, and they knew that Earth's son would make me a God among men, they knew I could do a lot of good, which is all that I do.
My father told me all of this, and that I had this sort of great destiny. Ive learned in my life, that you make your own destiny, not follow what certain people tell you. Ive made it my lifelong duty to protect Earth and its people, from any and all sorts of evi. Ive taken it upon myself to create an image...become a hero, a symbol. And after moving to Metropolis, a briliant reporter named Lois Lane gave me a name, I think it suits me well...she named me Superman. Ever since then, Ive been leading the double life.
Since living in Metropolis and working as a reporter for the Daily Planet, Ive come to grow in love with Lois. I still think about telling her the truth about me, that Im an alien, Im Superman. Only time will tell me what I should do. It only seems like the right thing. I mean...why would you keep secrets from the person you love?
Soon after I had took Lois's memory away of Clark Kent being Superman, things went back to normal for a small amount of time. Then the day came when Astronomers had picked up a signal deep in space very near where Krypton used to be. I had to speak with them. I wanted to see for myself if it really was a lost large fragment of Krypton. Finally I could find out if I wasn't alone...or truly the last son of Krypton.The only person I spoke to about it was my mother, Martha. All that she could tell me was to do what I thought was the right thing to do. I made the wrong decision, and decided to leave and try to find that large chunk of Krypton. I went strait to the Fortress of Solitude and had a crystal ship grown, very similar to the one I traveled to earth in when I was an infant. Without thinking, I just left. It wasn't the right thing to do, I now know that. I left without saying goodbye...to the people...to my friends as Clark Kent, and especially Lois.
One thing I missed was Lex Luthor's fifth appeal, where I was called in as a whitness to testify against him, which would have sent him away for good. After about two and a half years I finally reached the remains of Krypton. That place was a dead graveyard, baren. I saw everything, the trial dome, statues of ancestors and where my father's home was. I had finally realized that it was a mistake to leave and look for it, now knowing that there was nothing and I was truly all that was left.
In the same about of time it took me to travel to the remains of Krypton, I came back to earth. It had been a long five years since I had been on the planet. I had a slight feeling that I was forgotten by most. I headed back towards Smallville near my old house, knowing my mother was still there with Ben Hubbard. When she found me I was very weak from the Kryptonite exposure and the extremely long journey to Krypton and back, She took me home.
When I finally returned to Metropolis, I found out a lot had changed in the last five years I was gone. And most I was expecting, but some things were shoking to me. The city, along with the world had completely forgotten about Superman, and the most heartbreaking was finding out Lois was engaged to Mr. White's nefew Richard White, and had a five year old son. I felt so lost now, I knew it would take more than my powers to regain the trust.
