In February 2003, Superman was the first to respond to an Appellaxian invasion, and was soon joined in the battle by six other heroes, eventually driving the Appellaxians off the planet. At that age, he also started working for the Daily Planet. Superman began his crime-fighting career in 1998, at the age of 21. History Early lifeīorn on Krypton, Kal-El landed in Kansas in 1978. He also wears his hair in a different style to further differentiate his dual identities. Īs Clark Kent, however, he wears horn-rimmed glasses and a loose fitting suit that hides his natural physical figure. By 2018, he has changed his costume to a slightly darker hue of blue, with a red belt instead of trunks. He wears a blue uniform with his famous red-and-yellow 'S' shield on his chest, red trunks, a yellow belt, red boots and a red cape. Superman resembles a tall, muscular Caucasian male with vivid blue eyes and short black hair with a curl over his forehead. Superman goes out of his way to protect the lives of all living beings, even those of his enemies. Five years later, this seems to have continued, as Superman has taken on a fraternal role with Superboy. Following being rescued by him, Superman has overlooked his old nervousness and bonded with his clone. When Batman suggested that Superman is the equivalent of Superboy's father, this provoked a discreet flare of anger in a public setting.

Superman appeared unwilling to have any role in the education, raising or mentoring of Superboy, and instead tried to divert responsibility to others, such as Batman and Red Tornado. The fact that Cadmus created a copy of him seemed to greatly unnerve the Man of Steel, to the point where he was visibly reluctant to be in the presence of the boy and consistently attempted to escape interaction with him at the earliest opportunity. However, this normally controlled appearance broke down slightly when in the vicinity of his clone, Superboy, during the first six months after they were introduced. As a member of the League, he seems to have a good working and personal relationship with his comrades, and is able to handle most situations with a cool and calm head. He seems quick to take command of situations, which makes him one of the League's more prominent leaders and public figures. As Superman, Clark has a natural easy-going demeanor yet an impressive presence.
