"On the planet known as Krypton, scientist Jor-El addresses the Kryptonian Science Council and warns them of their home world pending destruction. Rather than take immediate action, the council members instead decide to deliberate in committee in the vain hopes of reaching a solution. Enraged at their ineffectiveness, Jor-El leaves the council chambers to return home to his wife, Lara and his infant son, Kal-El. \n\nJor-El and Lara begin construction on a teleportation device they hope might save the doomed populace of Krypton. However, without the council's ready support, the construction of the machine progresses slowly. Jor-El is only capable of transmitting volumes of matter less than fifty Kryptonian pounds. Lara and he decide to teleport baby Kal-El across the universe to a world known as Earth-Prime. One of the Science Council members, a man named Durkin, witnesses the experiment and blazes into Jor-El's home. He threatens to revoke his diploma and begins tampering with the teleporter. The machine short-circuits and explodes, killing Durkin. \n\nBefore long, Krypton's red sun erupts with intense solar flares consuming the small world destroying everyone on the planet. \n\nOn Earth-Prime, Jerry and Naomi Kent are hiking through the forests of a coastal New England when they come upon baby Kal-El. They decide to adopt him as their own and Naomi names him Clark Kent. On this planet, Clark Kent is the alter ego of a fictional comic book super-hero known as Superman. Unlike his comic book namesake however, Clark does not grow up with special superhuman traits. He grows up a happy, normal teenager, unaware of his true alien heritage.\n\nOne day, Clark and his girlfriend, Laurie Lemmon attends a costumed beach part at Hampton Beach. Being of good humor, Clark decides to adorn himself in the familiar garb of Superboy. They meet some friends at the beach and sit around hoping to catch a glimpse of the cosmic phenomenon known as Halley's Comet. Suddenly a cosmic vortex opens up in the sky above them discharging a powerful being from a parallel dimension. This being is known as Superman."@en .
