Clark Kent, born as Kal-El, is the retired vigilante known as Superman. As a young child, Kal-El was sent away from his dying home planet of Krypton to Earth, where he landed in Smallville and was raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent as Clark Kent. In his teenage years, Kent became the vigilante known as "The Blur", and subsequently operated in Metropolis while living a life as a reporter for the Daily Planet. He eventually met and fell in love with Lois Lane, whom he had daughters with. Soon afterwards, Kent retired from vigilantism and returned to his roots as a farmer in Smallville.
