Physical Appearance
Edit
Added by LizulkinKal-El wore dark clothing, as he was seen wearing a black, button T-shirt, blue jeans and black boots. When he was getting split he had the Mark of El sign on his chest, but Clark didn't have it. Both wear blue boxers. When Kal-El was a baby, he often wore a yellow blanket around his body. Kal-El's hair is often wilder than Clark's hair.
PersonalityEdit
Added by Natldsbluedelta353Despite his articulate and fluent speech, Kal-El is cold, unfeeling, void of any emotions and attachments, as he has no memories or recollections of Clark's family and friends because of his reprogramming by Jor-El. He sees humanity as a weakness. He is strongly driven or keen to pursue his Kryptonian calling and hones the Crystals of Power. He has some of Clark's latest memories before his assimilation into the wall as he was able to remember both Jonathan Kent and his time in the wall, which he claimed "felt like home". He is curious and observing and was able to tell that Lois talked too much. It is also worth mentioning that Kal-El is more confident with his powers than Clark, which is possibly why he can fly and Clark couldn't.
Season ThreeEdit
Jor-El captured a human female named Lindsey Harrison and re-programmed her as a Kryptonian named Kara whose mission was to lure Clark to the Kawatche Caves so he could re-program Clark in order to force him to embrace his destiny. When Clark still defiantly refused, Jor-El threatened to kill Jonathan Kent if he didn't comply. Clark agreed to go with Jor-El in order to save Jonathan, leaving Jonathan in a catatonic coma.
Season FourEdit
Three months later, Clark returned, re-programmed as Kal-El of Krypton, a more obedient version of Clark who fully embraced his destiny. He was found in a cornfield by Lois Lane, where she took him to Smallville Medical Center. It was here that Martha discovered Clark and volunteered to help him "find his the sign." Kal-El agreed to follow her, and the two returned to the Kent Farm.
After becoming aware of his whereabouts and mission, Kal-El set out to find the Stones of Power. Accepting his destiny, he used his powers to find the Crystal of Fire, but his quest was interrupted when Martha used black kryptonite to free Clark from Kal-El.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
Added by ImperiexSeedKal-El's powers were superior in several ways to his counterpart, Clark Kent. He exhibited the following list of abilities in Crusade.
- Solar battery: Kal-El's abilities are nourished by the yellow sun. [citation needed]
- Super strength: Kal-El is extremely strong; able to rip a plane door of its hinges with one hand. He appeared to be more powerful than Clark Kent when he overpowered him with only a choke.
Kal-El overpowers Clark. Added by ImperiexSeed - Super speed: Kal-El can fly at supersonic speeds and was able to catch on with Lex's airplane at 20,000 feet.
- Flight: Kal-El can easily defy the laws of gravity, enabling him to hover or soar through the air.
- Telekinesis: Kal-El was able to call the Crystal of Fire, one of the Stones of Power, to his hand.
- Super stamina: Kal-El was able to fly for long periods of time without tiring.
- Super breathing: Kal-El could breathe way above Earth's atmosphere for prolonged periods of time.
As Kal-El, he has not demonstrated heat vision, X-ray vision, super hearing, super breath, Arctic breath, telescopic vision or micro vision, but it's likely that he was fully capable of using them, just chose not to.
VulnerabilitiesEdit
Kal-El is most likely to have the same vulnerabilities as Clark Kent and other Kryptonians, though he didn't display any.
- Black kryptonite, however, is able to restore the balance between him and Clark Kent.
NameEdit
"Kal" means "child" and "El" means "star" in the Kryptonian language. [1] In Kryptonian dialect, the family name is spoken first and the given name next when the meaning of the name is expressed. Hence, "Kal-El" means "star child." The name was suggested to Lara by Kara while they were visiting the Kent Farm before the first meteor shower.
With the help of Dr. Virgil Swann, Clark learned that his birth name was Kal-El. He has been referred to as "Kal-El" by Dr. Virgil Swann, Lionel Luthor, Jonathan Kent, Jor-El, Zor-El, Lara, Kara, the Disciples of Zod, Brainiac, General Zod, Raya, Bizarro, Baern, Titan, Martian Manhunter, Chloe Sullivan, Lana Lang, Lex Luthor, Faora, the Legion of Super-Heroes, Tess Mercer, Alia, Major Zod ,Carter Hall and Lois Lane.
Clark has introduced himself as Kal-El to the Disciples of Zod, Lara, Martha Kent, Dax-Ur, and Linda Danvers (the alternate universe version of his cousin Kara).
