Like his comic counterpart, Superman's true identity is Kal-El, the last surviving Kryptonian. After being taken in by the Kents and (consequently taking the name Clark Kent), he discovered his powers in his teen years when trying to save a young girl from an exploding trailer, he comes to terms with his true identity and later moves to Metropolis as a reporter, in which he gained his moniker after his first escapade. Along with his many solo adventures he is a founding member of the Justice League, forming particularly close relationships with Wonder Woman, Batman, and Martian Manhunter.
