Quick-Change Artist / Superman [TM] / Rocketed to Earth from the doomed Planet Krypton, the infant Kal-El [TM] was / spared his world's utter annihilation through the timely intervention and sacrifice, / of his loving parents, the scientist Jor-El and his beloved mate, Lara. A kindly couple / Jonathon and Marion Kent, raised the Kryptonian orphan as their only son, Clark, / and instilled in him the small-town virtues of honesty and integrity. Under the rays / of Earth's yellow sun, young Clark Kent grew strong, developing a phenomenal / array of super powers. / After graduating from high school, Clark left the little town of Smallville to begin / a seven-year exploration of the globe. Eager to find some purpose for his amazing / abilities, he searched for a suitably heroic role in life. In time, he found his way to / Metropolis, where a crashing space-plane forced Clark to reveal the existence of / Superman to the world. One of the plane's passengers, reporter Lois Lane, gave / him his name and would later inspire Clark to study journalism and pursue his / own career at The Daily Planet. / Clad in blue, red, and yellow in his secret identity / as the Man of Steel, the Last Son of Krypton now / fights a Never-ending battle for Truth, Justice, and / the American Way! / When Clark Kent's door closes, he emerges as / Superman on the other side of the phone booth. / Lane Feuer / Hallmark Keepsake Artist / For decorative use only.
