Background / History

Clark Kent lives with Lois Lane and their sons Jonathan, Jordan, and Ian. His efforts to guide Ian toward more conventional writing reveal an ongoing difficulty connecting with his children, though he continues trying to support them as a father. 2 3

He protects Metropolis while maintaining his civilian life, repeatedly placing family safety above his own comfort. When Ian becomes involved in dangerous superhuman incidents, Clark shields him from threats and avoids revealing the full truth of Ian's origins even to Bruce Wayne. 47 97

Clark learns that Lex Luthor's counterfeit Superman serum uses Kryptonian blood. He worries that Ian's consumption of the serum may have accelerated his Kryptonian abilities, while also using his intellect to preserve stability within the family. 99 100

During the Sargeras crisis, Clark accepts Ian's battlefield support and becomes powerful enough to repeatedly drive back Titan Doomsday. He later fights beside Ian against Injustice Superman, whose threats against the Kent family provoke Clark's fury. 124 125

Injustice Superman challenges Clark as a counterpart who has absorbed the power of other Supermen. Clark ultimately defeats him in space, drawing strength from his love for his family; Injustice Superman concedes that Clark is the true Superman. 126

Clark later joins Golden Superman against Darkseid. Their struggle escalates from a clash between Supermen into a cosmic conflict spanning planets, dimensions, and time. 188 189 191
