◼ KRYPTONIAN PHISIOLOGY
Once a rapidly developing race under the formerly yellow star, Rao; Kryptonians were a very powerful humanoid race possessing a cellular structure is much denser, resilient, and biologically more effective than human tissue due in part to their planet's higher gravity. However,  Kryptonians were also unique in that their cells function like a super battery, hypermetabolizing specific wavelengths of radiation as fuel to enable living functions and/or superhuman abilities. Different wavelengths of radiation have different effects on Kryptonian physiology and well-being, but their cells cannot absorb or utilize all types of radiation.

At some point in history, their star; Rao, matured into a red giant and its radiation no longer benefited the populace of Krypton. To circumvent this, leading scientists and biologists began genetically editing their people and the Caste System was born. Kryptonian society mainly places its values on arts, science, military might, and theology, and thus it strictly divides its citizens into the five respective guilds. However, the genetic edits were imperfect, only enabling a recipient to receive some of the abilities they had lost. While every member of Krypton was returned their longevity among other 'lesser' abilities, only those belonging to those caste into the Military GUild, for example, received superhuman strength, flight and heat vision. While those in the Science Guild recieved abilities benefiting them. With this shift in Kryptonian society to a caste system, children were no longer born naturally; instead, parents would donate genetic material that made up the child's physical appearance, while those of the Science Guild would edit the genes for the child's pre-destined role in their caste society.

Clark, however, is a naturally born Kryptonian possessing the full potential of an Ancient Kryptonian born under a yellow star. This means compared with other Kryptonians he has near limitless potential in both growth and development and is capable of developing new powers never before seen on Krypton, in part due to his Earth-bound childhood, but also due to his travels to find his home.

Due to radiation poisoning experienced during his journey from Krypton, Clark is vulnerable to pieces of his planet dubbed 'Kryptonite', along with materials forged from minerals of his native planet. For instance, a recovered piece of his pod was fashioned into a razor by his adoptive father so Clark could shave. Likewise, Clark is vulnerable to beings of equal or greater strength as well as magic.

An alien dispatched to Earth under unknown circumstances, Clark Kent arrived in Smallville, Kansas, intertwined in a radioactive meteor shower that razed most of the farming community. Discovered by a local couple, Clark was raised by his loving adoptive parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent from a young boy to a young man. 

While the circumstances of his adoption were a closely guarded secret, they were not the only signs that Clark was different from a normal boy. From a young age, he showed strength far exceeding his size and speed that actually made it impossible to watch the mischievous toddler without him literally disappearing in the blink of an eye. At the age of sixteen, when Clark experienced his first kiss, he found himself on cloud nine, and not figuratively, as he discovered his ability to fly.

With these extraordinary abilities came responsibility, and Jonathan and Martha both worked hard to instill that into Clark. That responsibility kicked in when mysterious happenings around Smallville began to be linked to radiation from the meteors fifteen years earlier. People were waking up with strange abilities and lacking the same guidance the Kents had bestowed upon their adoptive son. Realizing the link between the meteors and these ability-endowed people, Clark took it upon himself to stop them and became something of a local vigilante and dubbed 'The Blur' due to his ability to speed in and out of situations virtually unseen.

As Clark reached graduation, the weight of his secret and the lack of knowing where he came from gave him decision paralysis regarding where to move onto next in life. A lengthy discussion with his parents eventually gave way to a gap year. But while most teenagers of Clark's age go backpacking in Europe, Clark has turned his sights towards the stars, determined to discover where he came from and why he was sent to Earth.

This is a version of Clark that I've never seen told before. A younger iteration, this is a Clark fresh out of Smallville, but where other versions knew they were Kryptonian, or at the very least had the ship to guide them or the crystal to make the Fortress of Solitude, this Clark was found among the wreckage by Jonathan and Martha, but no truth to his actual heritage has ever been known.

As such, my story picks up with Clark taking to the stars to figure out who he is. He has a basic grasp on his abilities, and he's done some heroic stuff, earning his local alter ego a place on Chloe's Wall of Weird under the moniker 'the Blur, ' but he's not Superman. He still has a lot to learn both about how to control his abilities and the extent of them. To do so, and to find out who he is and where he came from, Clark is taking to the stars, where I'll explore the themes of the Last Son of Krypton learning about who he is through the eyes and experiences of the galaxy before he ultimately discovers the fate of Krypton and his purpose on Earth.
