Occupation:
Paper Journalist
Abilities:
Kryptonian Physiology: Superman's cellular structure is more dense, resilient and biologically more effective than human tissue. Strangely enough, he does not seem to possess superhuman strength levels despite his enhanced cellular ability without his cellular structure charged with yellow solar energy. Without such charging, his strength seems on par for a human of his height and weight who engages in regular physical activity. As an alien he possesses several organs whose functions are not yet disclosed or understood but are believed to be part of and perhaps even the source of his biomatrix force field and reclamation aura. Superman's body also stores energy actively within his bio-cellular matrix as an energy pattern that is linked to his body's electromagnetic field. This energy powers most of Superman's electromagnetic capabilities such as flight and heat vision. It also supplements his physical strength by a factor of 12,000 times or so.
Solar Battery: Technically, this is the main source of Superman's powers. As a Kryptonian, Superman's cells absorb only yellow solar energy, and this in turn, fuels all of his powers and abilities. Superman's cells also store solar energy as well, allowing him to retain his powers under roofed structures or even at night, although he eventually needs a yellow sun to recharge his powers. Superman can also absorb solar energies of other class stars such as when he absorbed the solar energies of a blue star that increased his abilities to a higher degree and gave him additional abilities.
Superhuman Strength: The exact magnitude of Superman's strength is unknown. This is because Superman's strength, like his many other powers, has fluctuated over time, however, his strength should effortlessly range into the multi-megaton level at the very least. While the exact magnitude of Superman's strength is unknown, it is generally accepted that his strength easily surpasses the capacity to lift 1,000,000 tons, but how much more is not known exactly. This makes Superman arguably the strongest being on the planet and one of the strongest beings in the universe.
Invulnerability: Superman's body is nigh-invulnerable. This ability's levels have changed over time. He has taken a blast equivalent to a million nuclear war heads point blank and remained conscious.
Longevity: Superman can live almost indefinitely.
Superhuman Stamina: Superman has the ability to maintain continuous strenuous physical action for an undefined period. Theoretically, most incarnations of the character has unlimited stamina as his enhanced nourishment is produced from the solar energy his cells process. Superman like other Kryptonians does not get tired and does not need to eat or sleep and can be sustained on Solar energy alone. He can also hold his breath for an undefined duration.
Flight: Under one Earth gravity Superman is capable of flying at faster than light speeds. He tends to fly at speeds of Mach 10 in the atmosphere. His control of his flight is perfect and he can perform aerobatic feats such as hovering, flying backwards and even lifting great weights while flying. Superman can fly at speeds many times faster than light. Superman can fly in outer space. He has been seen to fly to the moon in minutes so we can assume that he can fly faster than that outside of atmospheric interference.
Superhuman Speed: Superman is capable of enhanced reflex action and the ability to move at incredible speeds by sheer force of will. While not nearly as fast as the Flash, Superman can move at speeds much faster than light and is one of the fastest beings in the Universe. Superman can match most other speedsters in their ability to perform super fast movements, reactions, and processes. He can use this power to disarm opponents with or without heightened reflexes, catch bullets or shrapnel or cross vast distances in seconds. Superman can also run at incredible speeds and even keep up with most speedsters; he was seen running steadily alongside the Flash at a speed of 2000 miles per second (around Mach 9350) [340]He has been seen flying from the Moon to the Earth in less than 2 minutes.
Superhuman Hearing: Superman has incredible hearing at extreme variances of sound and pitch frequency, allowing him to pick up noises from across the globe. He has shown enough control to block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source/frequency. He can hear every single heartbeat, as well as the blood pumping through everyone's veins, hear every foot step, every cell phone signal as it lances through the air and more. He can identify a person by their heartbeat, or pick out a single voice in an entire world.
Super Smell: On various occasions, Superman has demonstrated that his sense of smell is significantly enhanced to the point he can smell odors across the entire planet without any problem.
Super Scream: In one instance, Superman was shown to have the ability to project a "super scream" from his vocal cords. He used this ability to cancel out the impending threat of an already exploding nuclear detonation.
Self-Sufficiency: Doesn't need to eat and sleep so long as he's under the effects of yellow sun radiation. His body stores the energy necessary to negate eating and sleeping for an indefinite period.
Healing Factor: In the extreme event that Superman is harmed, either by an alien matching his own strength or other occurrence, he has been shown to have the ability to heal almost instantaneously from any wound, assuming that the process is not impeded from some outside factor i.e. Kryptonite. This "healing factor" is supplemented by his stores of solar energy and also seems to be an unconscious ability, as Superman does not seem to have the ability to control when he heals and when he doesn't. Much like a human has no control over their immune system.
Super Breath: The ability to create hurricane force winds by blowing, and to chill his breath in order to freeze a target (this latter ability has also been called "freeze breath" and "arctic breath"). The ability to chill inhaled air is a function of Superman's great strength and invulnerability. When Superman takes air into his lungs they compress the incoming gas. When this gas expands upon exhalation, in a fashion analogous to the operation of an air conditioners compressor, the sudden increase in volume of the gas causes its temperature to drop proportionally to the size of this expansion. Superman can also breathe in large amounts of air, an ability used when dealing with and disposing things like clouds of poison gas.
Heat Vision: The ability to fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it with the conscious act of activating this power. Visually, the power is typically depicted as two beams of red light firing from his eyes. These beams can be made invisible, allowing Superman to work undetected. His heat vision is so powerful that they are able to power up the giant ion planet moving engines with his heat vision alone.
Super Vision: He also possesses a superior sensory arrangement of microscopic, telescopic, infrared and ultraviolet visual capabilities. He is able to see the entire spectrum. Abilities include:
Electro-magnetic Spectrum Vision:Superman can see into all of the EM Spectrum. He can see and identify radio/television and any and all broadcast/transmitted frequencies, allowing him to avoid detection through radar or satellite monitoring methods. Superman can see the aura that every living thing generates.
Telescopic Vision: The ability to focus his vision to see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics.
Microscopic Vision: The ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the sub atomic level.
X-Ray Vision: The ability to see through anything except lead. Opponents sometimes used lead-lined constructs in an attempt to hide things from Superman. He can see things behind a wall as if the wall were not there, or can "peel back" layer after layer of matter in his mind. Kal-El is able to focus his vision past layers of matter, literally seeing "through" them -- possibly perceiving x-rays, cosmic rays or other forms of energy invisible to normal human vision which pass through Earth's atmosphere (and solid objects) after emission from stars. Since it is passive, this ability would not generate harmful radiation in the same manner as a focused projection of hard X-rays.
Weaknesses:
The first...is that, Superman is just, a nice guy. While in every other area of life this is a good thing, it also ensures that he'll rarely, if ever, go "full force" against his foes, even if holding back puts him at a tactical disadvantage. He's also often distracted, as his Super Hearing causes him to always dash off, abandoning a fight in most cases. If any official kind of award or title was at stake, Superman will think nothing of forfeiting, same if victory is only obtained through killing. Superman will not kill.
The biggest threat to him is Kryptonite. The chunks of rock that came down to Earth, remnants of the dead planet Krypton, are able to gradually(Over a period of turns) weaken the Man of Steel, and touching it is painful to the touch. Prolonged exposure means death. Superman generally tries to avoid death.
Superman's biomatrix is his most powerful asset, but the strength of this field is also its greatest weakness. It's permeability to certain wavelengths makes Superman vulnerable to certain radiations, particularly magical energies whose chaotic electromagnetic or extradimensional signatures disrupt this forcefield. Superman's vulnerability to magic varies on the special effects of the magic. No magic seems to be able to directly destroy him unless it comes from a semi-divine or divine source. He can be injured and worn down by magical entities. Magic can have powerful and unpredictable effects on Superman and his magical enemies have often proven to be the most dangerous.
Also, other Kyptonians can harm him, as well as he can harm them in battle. A noticeable observation is that other Kryptonians appear to develop superhuman abilities immediately upon entering a yellow star system, where it took him many years to develop. This could be because he entered Earth as a toddler.
And also, Superman cannot see through lead with his powers.
Since his powers come from the red sun, his powers drain if exposed to red solar radiation. Because of this, someone like Cyclops can harm him, since Cyclops' optic beams are powered by red solar radiation.
Personality:
Superman is commonly seen as a brave and kind-hearted hero with a strong sense of justice, morality and righteousness. He adheres to a strict moral code often attributed to the Midwestern values with which he was raised, thanks to his adoptive parents. His commitment to operating within the law has been an example to many other heroes but has stirred resentment among others, who refer to him as the "big blue boy scout."
To protect his secret identity, Superman has constructed a persona in his civilian identity as Clark Kent. To the world at large, Clark is a mild-mannered and clumsy person.
Having lost his home world of Krypton, Superman is very protective of Earth, and especially of Clark Kent’s family and friends. This same loss, combined with the pressure of using his powers responsibly, has caused Superman to feel lonely on Earth, despite his many friends, his wife and his parents.
Likes:
Earth, protecting people, people striving towards peace, the good old days of hard honest work on the farm.
Dislikes:
What Lex Luthor has become, bullies and tyrants both, people living in fear of said bullies and tyrants

Bio:
Kal-El, from a planet in the Xerius Galaxy, Kypton, was a toddlet child of the House of El, with his parents, scientists Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van. For years, Kypton was at war with the Shi'ar, a race of humanoid avians. But because of this, the people of Kypton did not notice that the planet's core was going to erupt...except Jor-El, who tried to warn everyone of it. But the people only believed in the Kyptonian supercomputer, Braniac. When the destruction was underway, Jor-El and his wife quickly sent their son to a small space craft and launched it to Earth, where Kal-El can flee from the explosion.
Through a time-warp, did his ship reached to Earth....along with chunks of his planet. Accompanied by a massive meteor shower, his spaceship crash-landed in Miller's Field in Smallville; there, he was found by farmers Jonathan Kent and Martha Kent, who raised him as their son, instilling in him strong moral principles and teaching him to use his abilities for good.
Sadly, during his time on Earth, Clark did not feel part of the human-race, because of his origins and powers. As such, his family tried so hard to help him hide that from everyone...even if it had to be from the love of his life, Lana Lang. Clark was accidentally hit by Lex Luthor's car, causing them to fall into a river. He was unharmed and swam to the bottom of the river to save Lex from drowning. Although Clark told Lex that the car did not hit him, rather he saw his car fall and jumped in to save him, Lex always had his suspicions...which led him to study Clark, which later probably led him to be his greatest adversary.
Because of the meteors, which were Kyptonite, many people exposed to its radiation resulted in mutations and psychosis. The majority of kryptonite-infected individuals display phenomenal metahuman powers, but most are also psychotic versions of their former selves, with personality traits or desires often enhanced to the point of obsession. Most of these people caused trouble in the town, which Clark secretly stopped.
Some time later, Clark found a crystal in his ship, and then a tablet, created by his people when they visited Earth. This led him to Arctics, where he angrily tossed the crystal far. But it was mostly a seed to grow a massive crystal complex, the Fortress of Solitude. Inside, lied a supercomputer, based on Jor-El's conscious. It was programed to train Clark to become the planet's protector, but Clark was skeptical about him.
Sometime ago, Clark gained enough courage to, not only reveal his secret to Lana, but propose to her, which she gladly accepted. After Jonathan Kent won the Senate race, Lana received a phone call from Lex and went to the Luthor Mansion to see how he was doing since he lost the election. After Lex saw her engagement ring, he figured that Lana knew about Clark's secrets and tried to force her to tell him, but she managed to get away. While driving away, Lana called Clark to warn him about Lex, but Lex was catching up to her. As she was trying to get away, a school bus collided with her car, killing her. Grief-stricken, Clark begged Jor-El to help him save Lana and was given a crystal to go back in time to prevent Lana's death. However, due to Clark's lies, Lana wanted a break from their relationship but after Jonathan Kent died of a heart attack, she backed off her idea and support Clark attending to Jonathan's funeral.
Clark was consumed with guilt, feeling he was responsible for his father's death. Clark ran off from home to think things through...until he was caught in a time-warp, caused by Jor-El, sending him to the 31st century. Reason for this was because Jor-El caught a distress-signal from that period...but that wasn't the only reason. Clark found a teenaged group of superheroes, called the Legion of Superheroes, who needed his help to defeat the Fatal Five. But Clark was too skeptical, thinking they got the wrong guy. But while wandering the city, he found a museum, dedicated to the greatest hero ever...himself: Superman. Learning the Legion was in trouble, Clark stole the Superman suit from the museum and adorned it. During battle, Clark used his abilities like never before, and overcome his fear of heights to fly, and defeated the Fatal Five.
Clark slowly became inspired by the feats he done in the past, or will. He learned that his actions inspired humanity to co-exist, peacefully, with other beings, including mutants. He decided to stick around with the Legion, and master his powers, thus becoming the Legion's most valued member. All was going great....when something affected space and time. The time period was being erased, replaced with destruction. Braniac 5, one of the members, learned that something changed the future, from Clark's time period. Clark quickly returned to his time period, thanks to Jor-El, before he could be lost in the paradox effects...but Clark lost little of his memory about the future...namely some of his exploits as Superman.
Clark returned to his mother, with his spirits lifted like never before. He finally excepted his Kyptonian heritage, and is determined to, not only find the cause of future's alteration, but become the Earth's protector, like his Kyptonian parents wanted him to.
Clark managed to get a job in the Daily Planet, as a journalist, hoping the job will allow him to learn of disasters before they happen. With his costume, he went out to protect the planet...but because of his swift subility, people believed 'The Blur' was just a myth. Well, that may change.
