Superman (real name Kal-El, secret identity Clark Kent) is a major supporting character of the animated superhero TV series, Young Justice. He is a famous Kryptonian superhero from Metropolis, a reporter for the Daily Planet, and a founding member of the Justice League.
He is voiced by Nolan North.
Appearance[]
Superman resembles a tall, muscular Caucasian male with vivid blue eyes and short black hair with a curl over his forehead. 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. By 2018, he has changed his costume to a slightly darker hue of blue, with a red belt instead of trunks.
As Clark Kent, however, he wears horn-rimmed glasses and a loose fitting suit that hides his natural physical figure. He also wears his hair in a different style to further differentiate his dual identities.
Personality[]
As Superman, Clark has a natural easy-going demeanor yet an impressive presence. He seems quick to take command of situations, which makes him one of the League's more prominent leaders and public figures. Superman goes out of his way to protect the lives of all living beings, even those of his enemies. 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.
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. 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. 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. When Batman suggested that Superman is the equivalent of Superboy's father, this provoked a discreet flare of anger in a public setting. He later approached Superboy after he saved the Justice when they were mind-controlled and congratulated him. He then approved of Superboy taking the last name Kent, which was in relation of his. Eight years later, their relationship continued to improve, and Superman has taken on a fraternal role with Superboy. He has given Superboy a Kryptonian name and introduced him to the rest of his family on Earth. When Superboy was thought dead, Superman admitted to Lois that he has come to regret his initial hostility to him and broke down at his fate. However, he was greatly pleased by his survival.
Powers & Abilities[]
Superman absorbs the solar energy from Earth's yellow sun which manifests as a number of abilities. His powers may fluctuate according to the amount of exposure, voluntary or involuntary. Under a red sun, his power will be dampened and will gradually weaken the longer he is exposed to such solar radiation, until they are lost completely. A return to exposure of solar radiation from a yellow sun, however, can restore Superman's powers to full strength.
- Super strength: Superman is incredibly strong, as he could support a damaged bridge and easily lift a bus over his head.
- Super speed: Superman can travel at superhuman speed. However, he is surpassed in speed by Shazam, Flash and Jay Garrick.
