Eventhough he wasn't in the original JLA, Superman would, without question, be regraded as Earth's greatest champion. Some might say Kal-el has earned such esteem because Earth's yellow-sun fuels his vast powers and abilities. Those closest to him might think it was a sense of moral responsibility instilled within young Clark Kent by his foster parents in Smallville, Kansas. But all would agree that the love the Last Son of Krypton has for his adopted planet is his greatest strength and makes Superman an icon among those already considered legends.
Krypton’s Last Son and the world's greatest superhero, Kal-El AKA Superman was the first hero to appear since the 1940s and after he appeared in 1994, more heroes have followed in his foot steps. Superman’s parents Jor-El and Lara, sent their son to Earth in an effort to save his life as their home planet, Krypton, was destroyed. After landing in Smallville, Kal-El was discovered by Martha and Jonathan Kent, who raised him and kept his origin a secret. When Clark moved to Metropolis to work at the Daily Planet, a nationwide newspaper, he also adopted the guise of Superman to better serve and inspire the American Public. In 1997, Clark married fellow Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane and 1998, the two had a child, who would became Adam Kent: the second Superman.

In 2030, Clark was forced to fight his son to save the world from the genocidal madman, Adam Kelly. Adam Kent saw Adam Kelly as more of father than Clark. Defeated by his son, Clark then banished himself to the moon. Later, Kelly was convinced by Adam Kent to stop the killing, so that Clark would return to Earth. However when Clark did return, he started Utopia, a domed-in city where all on people on the Earth, who were afraid of Adam Kelly's new world order, could live.
Following the death of his wife, Lois Lane, in 2048, Clark starting calling himself Kal-el: Utopian Overlord. Years of insanity plagued Clark until 2070, when the Justice League discovered Starro had taken control of Clark in an attempt to take over the world. Luckily, the Justice League foiled Starro's plans by releasing Clark from Starro's control. Clark and the League then killed Starro and his copies. Afterwards, Clark was given Honorary Member status in the Justice League but remained in Utopia trying to bring worldwide peace to his adopted planet Earth.
