Superman- The complete story

Superman- Origins

### **Superman: The Man of Tomorrow**

#### **Prologue: A Child from the Stars**
The story begins on **Krypton**, an advanced yet doomed planet on the verge of destruction. **Jor-El** and **Lara**, scientists and members of Krypton's ruling council, realize that their world is beyond saving. Determined to protect their son, they place **Kal-El** in a small spacecraft, sending him to a distant, unassuming planet—Earth. As the planet crumbles around them, Kal-El's ship rockets off into the cosmos, carrying Krypton's last hope to a new beginning.

#### **Part 1: Smallville's Secret**
**2006. Smallville, Kansas.**

**Clark Kent**, now in his early twenties, has always known he was different. Raised by **Jonathan** and **Martha Kent**, who found him in a crashed spaceship as a baby, Clark grew up with a loving family, instilled with strong values of compassion and kindness. Yet, he's always grappled with questions about his true nature and purpose.

In Smallville, Clark feels isolated by his powers—strength beyond comprehension, the ability to fly, and senses far keener than any human's. With his father's guidance, he learns to control these powers and use them responsibly. Jonathan reminds Clark that his abilities make him capable of great things, but they don't make him better than anyone else. As Clark grows, he realizes he's destined to help the world, and the name **Superman** begins to take shape in his mind.

One day, while exploring the wreckage of the ship that brought him to Earth, he discovers a hologram message from his birth father, Jor-El. The hologram explains Clark's Kryptonian origins, revealing that he is the last of his kind, sent to Earth to bring hope, protect the weak, and serve as a symbol of peace and justice. With this newfound knowledge, Clark decides to venture to **Metropolis** and fulfill his destiny.

#### **Part 2: Metropolis and Lex Luthor**
Metropolis, a shining metropolis of innovation, is also a city that hides corruption and greed. Here, **Lex Luthor** stands as both a symbol of hope and a figure of fear. A tech mogul, billionaire, and visionary, Lex prides himself on his vision for the city and his drive to be its sole protector. However, his philanthropy is carefully curated, masking a darker desire for absolute control and power.

When **Superman** makes his first public appearance by saving people from a collapsing bridge, Metropolis is thrown into a frenzy. The media, led by the **Daily Planet**, quickly picks up the story, dubbing the mysterious hero "Superman." At the Daily Planet, **Lois Lane**—a tenacious and fearless reporter—teams up with photographer **Jimmy Olsen** to uncover everything they can about this new hero.

Intrigued by Superman, Lex Luthor sees this being as both a threat and a challenge. While most of the city is in awe, Lex perceives Superman's powers as dangerous, viewing him as a potential tyrant. "No man should have that much power," he says, seething as he watches footage of Superman saving people with ease. To Lex, Superman threatens not only his status but the very fabric of human sovereignty.

Lex's obsession grows, and he begins researching Superman's origins, power, and vulnerabilities. Determined to destroy this "alien menace" and regain control of Metropolis's narrative, he decides to create a version of Superman he can control—a twisted mirror of the hero called **Bizarro**.

#### **Part 3: Meeting Lois Lane**
Meanwhile, Clark has joined the **Daily Planet** as a reporter. Working alongside **Lois Lane**, he quickly finds himself drawn to her courage and determination. Lois is skeptical of Clark's meek and mild demeanor but is nonetheless impressed by his integrity and quiet confidence. As she chases the story of Superman, her interactions with Clark reveal her nuanced views on the hero, seeing him as someone potentially burdened by his own power. She admits, "Whoever Superman is, I just hope he's more human than he seems."

Clark, grappling with his dual identity, finds solace in Lois's insights, and a tentative bond begins to form between them. However, he keeps his identity hidden, believing that revealing his true self would endanger her.

#### **Part 4: The Rise of Bizarro**
Lex's team, using DNA samples and advanced cloning technology, creates **Bizarro**—a distorted, imperfect copy of Superman with pale skin, erratic powers, and an unstable mind. Lex manipulates Bizarro into believing that he *is* Superman, instructing him to "protect" Metropolis by any means necessary.

Bizarro, unaware of his true nature, begins to cause havoc across Metropolis. Believing he is saving the city, Bizarro's attempts to "help" backfire, causing destruction and chaos. Confused citizens start questioning Superman's heroism, and Lex seizes the opportunity to stoke public fear, accusing Superman of endangering humanity. As a result, Superman's reputation begins to unravel.

Horrified by the destruction, Clark confronts Bizarro. In their first battle, Superman tries to reason with his distorted clone, attempting to get him to see the harm he's causing. Bizarro, however, is manipulated by Lex's programming and cannot distinguish right from wrong. The two clash in a brutal fight, their powers nearly equal, causing widespread destruction.

Watching the battle unfold, Lois begins to piece together the truth. She realizes this distorted figure is not Superman but an imitation, possibly created by Luthor. Driven by her investigative instincts, she sneaks into LexCorp to uncover the evidence that Bizarro was created as a weapon to frame Superman.

#### **Part 5: The Battle for Metropolis**
In a final showdown, Superman confronts Bizarro at the heart of Metropolis. With Lois's help, he broadcasts a message, assuring the citizens that Bizarro is not the real Superman. As the two fight, Superman manages to gain Bizarro's trust by speaking to him with compassion, appealing to his desire for purpose.

In a tragic moment, Bizarro begins to understand that he is a creation, an imitation designed to hurt rather than help. Feeling remorseful, he sacrifices himself to save Superman from a collapsing building. In his final moments, Bizarro looks up to Superman and says, "Me... real Superman?" Superman, with a heavy heart, replies, "In a way... yes." Bizarro dies, leaving Superman with the weight of his fallen counterpart's sacrifice.

#### **Part 6: Confronting Lex Luthor**
With Bizarro defeated, Superman turns his attention to Lex Luthor. Lois reveals her findings to the public, exposing Lex's manipulation and his attempt to frame Superman. While Lex is arrested, his lawyers quickly work to reduce his sentence, and he vows revenge against Superman, swearing he'll find a way to bring down the "alien" who stole his city.

Lex, in his cell, mutters, "The world will see you for what you really are, Superman. You're a danger. And one day, I'll make sure they see it."

#### **Epilogue: Becoming Superman**
Having cleared his name and earned the people's trust, Clark begins to fully embrace his role as Superman. Inspired by the people of Metropolis, he realizes that his powers were given to him for a reason—not to rule or dominate, but to protect and inspire.

As he flies over the city, he reflects on his journey and his newfound purpose. He knows he has enemies, but he also has allies, and he's determined to stand as a symbol of hope in a world that often lacks it.

Lois, standing on the rooftop of the Daily Planet, watches Superman soar into the sky. She smiles, knowing she has witnessed the birth of something extraordinary. With the people's trust restored and a sense of purpose firmly established, Superman's journey as Earth's protector is only beginning.
