The World's Greatest Super Hero began life in a strangely humble fashion. Rocketed to Earth as an infant when his home planet of Krypton was destroyed by a cataclysmic explosion, he was adopted by Johnathan and Martha Kent, a Kansas farm couple. Young Clark began to discover his extraordianry powers as a teenager. By the time he was a young adult, he had super-strength, super-hearing, X-ray, telescopic and heat vision, and a computer-quick mind. As guardian of Metropolis and Earth itself, he has pledged himself to the protection of all living things. Fully articulated figure features cloth costume and includes custom display base.
