Long before Clark form those legendary tights and a cape, the Man of Steel was living the life of a teenager; with superhuman abilities. As his body developed, so did his alien powers.
As Smallville opens, Clark Kent cannot fly. He can not burn objects to a crisp with his vision, and he has yet to master the ability of seeing through walls. With the pain of puberty, comes enormous power, and overwhelming responsibility.
It’s a stroke of genius, and it’s hardly surprising that the show has become a roaring success. Season 1 is hardly its strongest hour, but it places the foundations for what is, currently, the best on-screen Superman since 1978’s motion picture.
Originally created by Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel, the Superman comic was groundbreaking; pretty much establishing the modern comic book rules, and providing DC with its most well-known character. During his conception, it was fairly easy to see the real-life parallels that influenced Shuster and Siegel.
A tale about a stranger coming from an alien world, and using his unique gifts to help others. It was a revolutionary time. A time of change. Clark Kent would struggle to hide his identity, and get by in a world that was a million light years from home. Little did they know, that the character would continue to go strong in the 21st Century.
