Clark Kent (Earth-96)

"And there's one thing I do know, son, and that is you are here for a reason."

- Jonathan Kent to Clark Kent

Clark Kent is a reporter for the Daily Planet and the vigilante known as Superman.

Early Life
At some point, Clark Kent was adopted by Jonathan Kent, who told him that he was on Earth for a reason. Later, Kent became a reporter for the Daily Planet and the vigilante known as Superman. He eventually married Lois Lane, who never died as a result of a gas attack on the Daily Planet in the post-crisis timeline, meaning he never changed his suit's emblem to black. He also met his cousin, Kara Zor-El at some point, and began working with her once she became Supergirl.

Crisis on Infinite Earths
Following the recreation of Earth-96, Superman was flying in orbit over Earth.

Flashpoint
Due to The Flash's actions in creating the Flashpoint timeline, the multiverse began to collapse, and numerous ruptures occurred throughout different universes. On Earth-96, Superman and Supergirl observed the rupture in the sky and the collision of their universe with another, though this was quickly reversed.
