A meteor shower bursts from space, raining destruction on the unsuspecting citizens of Smallville, Kansas but delivering to the Kent's a baby who will become known to the world as Superman : The Man of Steel.

Fourteen years later, the healing process has left the town's inhabitants with scars and secrets. A popular yet awkward teen by the name of Clark Kent attempts to decipher the meaning of his life and his clouded past, as he struggles with the transition from boyhood to adulthood, his strength and strange abilities set him apart from his peers.

Clark's loving, but protective parents, Jonathan and Martha eventually reveals his true origins. He is devastated by the discovery that the event which brought him to this world also killed the parents of his secret love, Lana Lang. As he struggles to make sense of his identity, Clark falls into an unstable friendship with young, well-to-do Lex Luther which eventually evolves into a rivalry and accepts his destiny that was literally written in the stars for him.

The past has been rewritten by Jor-El after the reconstruction of the Fortress of Solitude undoing certain major events in Clark’s life from his initial meeting with Lois Lane, Martha Kent gaining the senator seat, and major villains that wanted the blood of Krypton’s last son: General Zod, Brainiac, Doomsday and so on and so forth.

An event, that happened only to give his son, Kal-El; a somewhat normal life that included a world infected by the rocks that was once Krypton.

With the help of new allies, Clark continues his journey to save mankind from themselves and instill a sense of hope and security for the world as their rising savior. Now as an employee of the Daily Planet, as a reporter for the great Metropolitan newspaper; Clark uses his skills as a journalist along with the Planet’s resources which would allow him to keep track of ongoing events where he might be of help.

Largely working on his own, Clark’s identity is easily kept secret with just but a handful of allies that knows of his true identity.
