SUPERMAN SUMMARY:
With the planet Krypton doomed to explode, Jor-El and Lara place their baby Kal-El in a 
rocket ship and send him to Earth.  Kal-El is found and raised as Clark Kent in
Smallville, Kansas by Martha and Jonathan Kent.  When Clark becomes a teenager, he 
develops strange powers.  Clark learns he is an alien and the yellow rays of the Earth's 
sun gives him the powers of super-strength, flight, invulnerability, x-ray and heat vision.
Clark grows up and moves to Metropolis to become a reporter for the Daily Planet.  When
trouble arises, he dons a costume and becomes Superman, to fight the never-ending battle
for truth, justice and the American way!
