Superman is able to pick up and toss just about any on planet Earth. [*] Limited invulnerability, small weapons fire and punches from regular humans do hardly any damage. Superman cannot take a round from a tank or stop a speeding train without getting hurt for example. Also if another superhuman with super strength hits him it will hurt. [*] Solar healing factor. When on a planet with a yellow or other wise young star, Superman can heal extremely quickly. [*] Superman can run extremely fast and jump impossibly high, however he has not yet mastered the art of flying. [*] He cannot control heat vision and super breath. He can turn it on but only with extreme concentration, and it is even harder to aim or turn off. [*] X-ray Vision is completely operational for our young Superman. Let's just say he figured that one out as a teenager. He is also able to see EM frequencies and microscopic particles/organisms with the naked eye. [*] He also has a heightened sense of smell and hearing. [*] Fighting for Superman at this point in time is basically punch it until it stops. He has no knowledge of any type of martial arts or fighting techniques as of yet. [*] Superman does not yet have any invincible Kryptonian Battlesuits but he does have his cape which is itself invincible. He usually wears a t-shirt with the same 's' as his cape on the chest and a pair of jeans or track pants.[/list] [color=aba000][b]Weaknesses[/b]:[/color] Kryptonite weakens Superman by blocking his ability to use his powers. These chunks of his home planet trick his body into thinking he is on Krypton essentially making him feel human. Walking into a room of Kryptonite will not kill Superman but he will find it hard to function as he will feel like a human which compared to how he usually is means extremely weak. Getting stabbed or shot by a piece of Kryptonite will also block his healing factor making it extremely dangerous. This is the only way Superman could bleed out or die of wounds. The same effect can be achieved when Superman is on a planet with a red or similarly old star. Being on such planets will make him completely unable to use any of his powers and he will be just like a normal human. The amount of gravity on a planet affects his ability to jump and fly. Earth is normal gravity and he is able to fly normally. Put him on the moon or in space and his flying abilities are enhanced but put him on a world with high gravity and it will be hampered. In very very rare cases gravity will make him unable to fly. Of course a red star would make this true as well. Clark is also weak when it comes to magic as it effects him in the same way it effects most people. Superman's powers are biological not magical so he is susceptible to many forms of magic. In fact using magic against the Man of Steel is the second most effective way of fighting him behind using Kryptonite. [color=aba000][b]Backstory/Orgins[/b]:[/color] The last son of Krypton Kal-El was born to the foremost scientist on the planet of Krypton Jor-El and his wife Lara. As an infant, Kal's father discovered that in a few short months Krypton would be destroyed. Jor-El spent months trying to convince the Kryptonian government to evacuate the planet however they were distracted by the uprising of General Zod the foremost military leader of Krypton. Ignored by the government, Jor-El began constructing prototype spacecrafts capable of bringing his family to a new home. Time ran out however and as the planet destroyed itself killing billions, Jor made sure his son would escape by placing him in the only working stasis pod in working condition. Jor programmed the ships Braniac computer to target worlds with yellow suns and low gravity knowing that it would make his son a god among men.The planet was destroyed and the only surviving pieces of it became known as Kryptonite. 22 Years ago Kal's pod crashed in Smallville, Kansas where he was found and adopted by the Kent family. Renamed as Clark Kent, he was raised as a farmer and taught good morals at a young age. It wasn't until the age of ten when Clark's parents told him of how they found him after he had shot lasers out of his eyes for the first time. Clark's father then explained to him that his powers were only to be used for good. Growing up Clark was bullied at his local elementary school but never raised a hand at his attackers saying that his parents taught him to never "punch down". Clark made friends throughout highschool, the best of which was Jimmy Olsen a boy with a love for photography. The two became inseparable and eventually went to college together where they met the last member of their trio, Lois Lane. Clark fell in love with Lois instantly however she only ever saw him as a friend. After college the three moved to metropolis together and rented a three bedroom apartment two miles away from the Daily Planet. They each got a job at the Planet a mere one week before a "Superman" in a red cape began fighting crime in the streets. What a coincidence...
