#zod: Kal-el

[frownyalfred]

hc that Kryptonian names are kind of like true names so even though Clark grew up never hearing Kal-El until he was an adult, the second someone uses it on him he twitches and instinctively leans in a little. over time, the response gets easier to ignore, but there’s still times when Bruce (or someone else?) uses it and it just kind of. snaps his attention back over to them, Clark falling away from Kal as instinct fires at the back of his mind, hey that’s my name, why are you using it?

I love that Clark asked for his parent’s advice on how to raise Chris

Kon would apologize for the mess he’d tracked in in the morning. Right now, he needed sleep desperately. He flopped face first into the couch after he took his boots off and passed out immediately.

He wasn’t expected to be woken up an hour later by the sound of Kal coming through the window as Superman. Kal stared blearily at where Kon had jolted upright on the couch. “Kon? What are you doing here?”

“Heya Big Blue! I was in the area and figured I’d crash on your couch!”

Or: Kon, Clark, and Superman's legacy.

I love the atmosphere shown in this movie. It's so dreamy and alien-like 😍😍

Also their clothes are so alienated and glowing.

All-Star Superman and Lois Lane

After being discovered by the US government, baby Kal K. was given to Agents Martha Clarke and John Kent, raising him as "Ma" and "Pa" Kent. However, operation head General Sam Lane couldn't foresee two eventual problems: Clarke and Kent's legitimate affection for the child, and his own daughter's whistleblowing on the his illegal activities. Helping the young couple escape, Clarke and Kent sacrificed themselves to give Kal the chance at a real life.

Kal and Lois spent months on the run, eventually falling in with The Planet, an activist group working to disrupt the activities of the Apex mega corporation, itself tied to the captivity of Kal and others like him. Lois's journalistic skills and Kal's superhuman abilities--speed, strength, able to leap miles into the air--proved a powerful combination, drawing other activists like Suzanna Hawke (The Green Arrow) and Arthur Shin (The Aquaman) to their cause.

At the same time, Kal discovered a new aspect to his powers: he could access a "Phantom Zone" brimming with ethereal beings. They would impart knowledge and power to him, bolstering his physical strength with strange visions, superheated beams of light, and eventually the power of flight. Chief among the phantoms was someone or something named Zod, and he had vested interest in Kal and the secret of his origins.

Kal shared that interest, but he had more important things on his mind. Namely, working to assure a better world for his partner and the child they were now eagerly awaiting...
