Superman was born Kal-El to Jor-El and Mrs. El on the planet Krypton, 12 million light-years away. One day, Jor-El (Marlon Brando) learned that Krypton was about to explode. He put his son into a capsule and sent him off into space, where he conveniently landed on the planet Earth and was found my Jonathan and Mrs. Kent in Smallville, Kansas. Christened Clark Kent (the alter ego that would serve him his whole life), Superman began life as an ordinary small-town farm boy. Albeit with superpowers.
