[center][b]Name:[/b] Kal-El (Superman) [b]Age:[/b] Unknown (Appears to be in his late twenties) [b]Gender:[/b] Male [/center]

[b]Appearance:[/b] 6'3, 235 lbs, blue eyes and black hair. 

[b]Canon, AU, or OC?:[/b] Canon
[b]Universe of Origin:[/b] DCU (New 52)


[b]Personality:[/b]Superman is commonly seen as a brave and kind-hearted hero with a strong sense of justice, morality and righteousness. He adheres to a strict moral code often attributed to the small town American values with which he was raised, thanks to his adoptive parents. His commitment to operating within the law has been an example to many other heroes but has stirred resentment among others, who refer to him as the "big blue boy scout." Superman can be rather rigid in this trait, causing tensions between himself and many of the so called "Anti-heroes" he works alongside.

To protect his secret identity, Superman has constructed a persona in his civilian identity as Clark Kent. To the world at large, Clark is a mild-mannered and clumsy person.

Having lost his home world of Krypton, Superman is very protective of Earth, and especially of Clark Kent’s family and friends. This same loss, combined with the pressure of using his powers responsibly, has caused Superman to feel lonely on Earth (and in the universe at large), despite his many friends, and his parents. The arrival of Supergirl (Kara Zor-El) to Earth in recent years had relieved some of said loneliness.

Something significant worth noting is that Superman rarely goes all out. Most of the time, he holds back considerably, out of fear that he could kill his opponent and/or threaten bystanders and his allies.

[b]Abilities/Weapons:[/b] [url]http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Superman_%28Clark_Kent%29#Powers[/url] He has way too many powers to post all of them here. I assume everyone knows what Superman can do, though.

Superhuman strength: Superman has the strength to destroy small planets, and has shown to be able to move Earth.

Invulnerability: Superman is either resistant or immune to many different kinds of damage due to an invisible bio-electric forcefield that covers his body, mere milimeters from his clothing and skin. The shield is capable of surviving nuclear warheads, allowing Superman to fly through the sun, and even survive a supernova.

Flight and Superspeed: Superman is capable of flying at speeds faster than light itself while in a vacuum. On the surface of a planet, however, he is limited to hypersonic speeds. (Around 2000 miles per second.)

Enhanced senses: Superman's senses are capable of reaching across entire planets, if he concentrates on using said sense. 

Heat vision: Superman is capable of projecting beams of intense heat from his eyes, which are said to have the upper limits of the heat of the sun. He is also capable of shrinking the beams' size and preforming a lobotomy through a person's eye, without hurting them. 

The rest of his powers can be seen in the link above.

[b]NOTE:[/b] The E-kip device implanted in Superman's neck cuts his physical strength and durable in half. It now takes time for Superman to accelerate to FTL speeds, making his combat speed only hypersonic instead of light speed. Superman's freeze breathe and heat vision can't reach their upper limits, and it takes longer for Superman to absorb yellow solar energy than without the E-kip installed. In terms of strength, think slightly better than the Superman in the Justice League cartoons.

[b]Experimental Kryptonian Containment Device:[/b] A small chip installed into the back of Superman's neck, the machine acts as a power equalizer and 'kill switch.' The device works by constantly irradiating Superman with small amounts of red sun radiation, as well as being enchanted by powerful magic; this combination keeps Superman from using his full power. The EKCP (E-kip) was created by UMMA as a way to monitor Superman, and keep his powers in check. They theorized that if S.E was able to take control of Superman's mind, he would become a legitimate threat to UMMA's very existence. Inside the device is also a piece of green kryptonite surrounded by lead. If UMMA's leadership, for some reason, needed a way to stop Superman completely, they could activate the kryptonite and eject its radiation into Superman's brain. This will instantly bring Superman to human levels of strength and block off the use of his other powers, as well as putting him through intense pain. The kryptonite will take time to kill Superman, however. 

[b]Backstory:[/b] Superman's origins, in free comic-book form![url]http://theages.ac/origin/1.html[/url]

Superman is the most powerful being on planet Earth, an alien immigrant named Kal-El from the planet Krypton who was raised in Smallville, Kansas, to become an American superhero. Raised with high moral ideals, he uses his incredible strength, speed, flight and various other superpowers to fight evil and protect the innocent. In his civilian identity he is Clark Kent, a mild-mannered reporter working for the Daily Planet in Metropolis. He is a founding member of the Justice League of America and a charter member of the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 30th Century.

A few months after Darkseid's defeat and the formation of the Justice League, Superman found himself confronted by an alternate version of Mister Mxyzptlk, an omnipotent cosmic trickster, who enjoys screwing with his reality's Superman. The being claimed that he had become bored of his universe's Superman, and had decided to use Kal-El as his new entertainment. After an entire day of being stalked and harassed by Mister Mxyzptlk, Superman attacked him. Mister Mxyzptlk, panicked by Superman's anger, reacted by teleporting him out of the DC multiverse. Superman found himself in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by unfamiliar worlds. When he came in contact with UMMA, he learned that his multiverse was in fact but a small piece of the actual multiverse at large, on the other side of what his multiverses' gods called the 'Source Wall.' Upon discovering this, Superman established a working relationship with UMMA and became one of their agents (though his true loyalties lie with the Justice League and earth.) He has devoted himself to protecting the Multiverse at large, working hand in hand with the rest of UMMA to defeat the Shadow Entity.

Superman, despite his new obligations to UMMA, remains in frequent contact with the Just League on earth using advanced quantum entanglement communications technology. He is on constant watch for the return of Darkseid and the armies of Apokolips.
