My name is Kal El. I am the only survivor of the planet Krypton. Even though I've been raised as a human being, I am not one of them. I have great powers. My powers far exceed those of mortal men. It is forbidden for me to interfere with human history. It is my leadership that will show the way. I live as one of you as I discover where my strength and powers are needed. I always hold in my heart the pride of my special heritage. When I was 18 my father Jor El told me "You will be different, sometimes you will feel like an outcast, but you will never be alone, you will make my strength your own, you will see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine, the son becomes the father and the father becomes the son."

My father once told me "They can be a great people Kal El, they wish to be, they only lack the light to show thw way. It is for this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you, my only son."
