All right, multiverse time.

This RT won't be like other RT's. It's technically a bio with scans (kind of). I will document every aspect of his life different from main continuity, but also have a feats section.

These events take place in a current ongoing alternate universe. So firstly clarification of the universe.

---

Earth 1

---

OGN Universe. Home of begginer heroes. A world still forming and in flux where nothing is yet settled. This is the world where the line EARTH ONE of OGN is published, including the vol of Superman: Earth One, Batman: Earth One, Teen Titans: Earth One and soon Wonder Woman: Earth One.

OGN = Original Graphic Novel

Interesting story, technically Earth-One used to be the Silver Age universe, which was destroyed but has now been reformed.

Though the current version of Earth-1 first appeared in Trinity #52

This universe is not to be confused with, Earth-0, which is the New 52 main continuity, or Earth-2 and Earth-3. Those are established continuities. Earth-1 is literally a blank slate, where the heroes have had like three stories at most.

---

Superman

---

This version of Superman is as he stated to be only 20 years old. The series tries to take a more grounded approach and portray Superman in a slightly more realistic and modern environment that is free from the mainstream DC Universe continuity in order to introduce the character to potentially new readers.

He seems to be much weaker than either Post Crisis or N52 counterparts.

His purpose is to survive and avenge the murder of his homeworld

---

Origin

---

Born Kal-El in the planet Krypton, his parents, Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van, sent him to Earth to survive Krypton's destruction.

His rocket was discovered by the kindly Jonathan Kent and Martha Kent, on a hiking trip.

They raised him as their son Clark Kent in the town of Smallville, Kansas. Clark's childhood provided him with strong moral values, although he grew insecure of his place in the world.

Feats

---

Strength

• Even as a baby casually bends a wheel spanner

• Punches send Dheronian (think Kryptonian, except less awesome) robots flying

• Shockwaves from punches shatter windows in the city

• Tackles Parasite through several buildings

• Punches Parasite across town at 51% power

• Zod (basically evil Superman in this story) wipes an army

Speed

• Flies from Metropolis into space in moments

• Into his room without being seen

• Casually too fast for camera

• Takes out more robots

• Stops a tsunami, also flew from Metropolis, where he heard about the tsunami to the island of Borada before the tsunami reached it. The island is on the other side of the world (probably, since he left Metropolis at night when he heard about the tsunami heading for the island)

• Gets from the Fortress of Solitude to the Daily Planet in seconds

• Moves this guy from Metropolis to Alaska (or Siberia... No maybe it was Norway...) before he even notices what happened

• Plasters a wall

• Outspeeds Zod who was flying at Mach 3, when he had at least a 100 (I could probably say a 1000) times the distance to cover. I mean the Fortress is in the Arctic.

Durability

• Get hit through a skyskraper, is unhurt

• Wounds heal in one panel, also note how Krypton was assassinated.

• Don't believe he healed? Well right after being cut he gets beamed with a red sun gravity gun (Eh?), and as one can see in the shots of his neck there is no injury.

• Falls from very high while drained.

• Parasite (with a large portion of Superman's powers ) is unfazed by a nuke

• After being exposed to large portions of Kryptonite, he falls from a significant height. Is uninjured

• Lex developed a device that temporarily removes his powers, and used it on Superman. Supes then got beaten down by Zod who then broke a lof of his bones in his body

• After having Zod break a bunch of his bones, he seems to heal up pretty quick, also bullet resistant at low power.

Enhanced Senses

• Reads the proverbial writing on the wall (the wall being electrons in the atomic structure)

• Sees everywhere on earth

• Still has X-Ray vision

• Hears a crane is about to fall

Heat Vision

• Stops a potential crime

• Burns Tyrell

• Believes he can destroy an entire city with his heat vision

• Weakened his heat vision still hurts the Parasite

Beatdowns

• Beats down Tyrell under red starlight

• Severly weakened Zod-El and Kal-El beat each other down. Lex ends up saving the day.

Intelligence

• Is pretty smart

• Was always smart as a kid

Krypton Tech

• Can write on electrons inside atoms

• Turns energy into matter

• Has a psychic link to superman, also Kryptonian Metal > Kryptonian, because Supes couldn't break the ship

• Tech seems to be sentient

• Makes him stuff, in this case a containment suit protecting him from the Parasite. Also tech shows sentience (or the ability to learn, I dunno)

• Makes anti-Kryptonite suit

---

Misc

---

• Feels muh fukka

• Batsignals are dumb ideas

• Has money in the form of diamonds

• Addresses the UN

Costume

• Rationale behind the suit

• Rationale behind the disguise... I still don't believe it, but w/e.

Personality

• He is a thinker

• Though he is clueless

• Does what is right, even if it's a little harsh.

• Phones mom a lot, asking her for advice and stuff

• He doesn't want to fight in the city, the people he fights like it there

• Lysa describes him rather well. Flawed, funny, powerful, and sweet

---

Job

---

Job Hunting

• Tried sports

• Best they've ever seen in finance, science, art and engineering. Also Baseball

• Applied for job at the Daily Planet, threw away the application

• During the invasion he realized the true nature of the companies that offered him jobs

• As such he turned them down

• He chose the Daily Planet because Lois and Jimmy would die for the truth

Articles

• Got his job with this article

• Wrote a humanitarian piece

---

Relationships

---

Lisa Lasalle

• He has a different new friend, Lysa Lisalle, who just kind of invited herself into his life

• They have a dinner/date thing, she kind of made him go to dinner with her. Heh

• After Parasite beat him up a bit, he came to her for help

• Turns out she is a part-time hooker

• She eats his ice cream... all of it... everytime... also she knows stuff... that she shouldn't

• Visits Clark again and attempts to confront him

• She risked her life for him

• Clark fixes her up in the hospital

• Takes her home to mom

• Heh, she definitely knows

Lois Lane

• Lois is basically just a suspicious work colleague who doesn't trust him. So much that she did a background check. She's mostly just jealous that Kent got the Superman interview and not her. Basically she fills the role of rival at the work place. Tis all. Not a big role.

• But she be jealous though

• She is more like Commisioner Gordon than anything else... I mean really...

Jimmy Olsen

• His colleague and friend, not really that big a part of the story.

Addendum

---

These scans are from the Superman: Earth One series. They release one graphic novel every two or so years.

• Volume 1 - 2010

• Volume 2 - 2012

• Volume 3 - 2015

They are rather expensive, but they are also pretty cool.
