SYPNOSIS
Born as Kal-El on the planet Krypton, Clark Kent grew up to find he was not the average boy. Developing strange new powers every year of his adolescence, his parents tought him to blend in, stay out of the spotlight to avoid suspicion. Arriving in Metropolis an average 28 year old reporter with plenty of field experience on every continent without a purpose in life. Arriving at the Daily Planet for a temporary contract, the inspiration from bottom end reporter Lois Lane and enthusiastic photographer Jimmy Olsen give him the strength to become Earth's savior. Returning home for guidance from his adoptive parents, Clark realises he was put on Earth for a reason, a reason he has chosen to ignore because he has wanted to live his own life but now realises that the world needs him. Inspire, he digs up his spaceship to find a suit left to him by his real parents before shedding his disguise to become a hero.
Dubbed Superman, he is soon pressured by the goverment who fear the power of Superman, Lex Luthor who wishes to hire Superman and use his power to further his already booming business LexCorp and the press who want to know everything about the Man of Steel. Superman's presence on Earth soon draws the attention of a cold and intelligent threat lurking in the depths of space: Brainiac, an artifical intelligence on a constant quest to collect the knowledge of the universe. Brainiac's threat has a deeper connection to Superman than he thinks and may hold the missing knowledge Superman craves about his true origin and real parents. If Superman can gather the inner strength along with the encouragement of Lois Lane, he can defeat Brainiac and become our greatest protector.
