TIMELINE OF EVENTS

1979

  • Krypton’s core becomes unstable. Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van send their infant son Kal-El away in a space pod in hopes of sparing him from Krypton's inevitable destruction. The pod's warp drive transports Kal-El into our solar system, where it eventually crash lands in Smallville, Kansas.

  • Kal-El is found by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who adopt him and name him Clark Kent.

1983

  • Kal-El's powers manifest at age 4. Jonathan and Martha teach their son to keep his powers a secret.

1994

  • After years of questioning his superhuman nature, Kal-El is shown the space pod he crash landed in. Jonathan tells his adopted son as much of the truth of his origins as he can.

1995

  • Driven by his desire to know more about himself and his extraterrestrial origins, Kal-El leaves Smallville and travels north, guided by a crystal taken from his space pod.

  • When Kal-El reaches the Arctic Circle, the crystal buries itself in the ice and forms the Fortress of Solitude.

  • Upon entry into the Fortress, Kal-El is greeted by a holographic simulacra of his birth father Jor-El, who imparts upon his son the knowledge of his Kryptonian heritage.

  • Kal-El begins his training with Jor-El, learning how to harness the power of the sun and master his superhuman abilities.

2004

  • Jonathan and Martha Kent are killed by a drunk driver, prompting Kal-El to return to Smallville.

  • Kal-El mourns the loss of his adoptive parents, and when he returns to the Fortress, Jor-El tells him to go back to Smallville, reconnect with the world, and figure out why he wants to help humanity. Jor-El gifts his son a suit made of programmable matter that proudly displays the crest of the House of El.

  • Despite his initial desire to help humanity, Kal-El grows resentful because of the circumstances that claimed the lives of his adoptive parents. The drunk driver is acquitted of his crimes, which doesn’t sit well with Kal-El.

  • Kal-El confronts the drunk driver and comes close to using his super strength to beat him to death, but stops before he can land the first (and likely fatal) blow.

  • Kal-El decides to work on the Kent farm, which was left to him by Jonathan in his will.

2006

  • A metahuman terrorizes Metropolis. Despite his resentment toward humanity, Kal-El is spurred into action by memories of Jonathan Kent’s teachings: “If you have the power to help someone, help them.” Kal-El dons his Kryptonian suit and stops the metahuman threat.

  • The world comes to know of Kal-El’s existence. He earns the name ‘Superman’ from an article in the Daily Planet, written by Lois Lane.

  • Kal-El spends nearly two decades saving the world, while feeling he’s never a part of it. He never leaves the Kent farm to move to Metropolis, choosing instead to till the land and be a contributing member of Smallville as Clark Kent when he’s not off saving the world as 'Superman'.

2023

  • The Department of Defense informs Kal-El of a signal they received from the furthest reaches of space that could be Kryptonian in origin.

  • Kal-El sets off to space in a pod from the Fortress of Solitude to investigate.

  • Something goes wrong with the warp drive in Kal-El’s pod, and instead of traversing through space, he ends up tearing through space and time, and crosses the threshold of the omniverse, crash landing on a parallel Earth.
