Martha Kent

Jonathon and Martha Kent are Superman's loving and supportive adopted parents. The childless couple found the infant Kal-El when his space ship crash-landed on their farm many years ago. Believing the baby to be part of some cruel Russian space experiment, they named the boy Clark and raised him as if he were their natural son. As Clark grew, both he and his parents became aware of the boy's incredible powers. The Kents instilled in Clark the determination to always use his powers for the betterment of mankind, thus starting the career and legend of Superman. Jonathan and Martha still have close ties to their son. While they will not be characters we see a lot of, they will be there when Clark needs their support and guidance.
