Superman (The Batman)

Superman is the last son of Krypton and the hero of Metropolis.

History
Kal-El is the most notable survivor of the late planet of Krypton which exploded years ago. He escaped the blast before it destroyed him as well. Arriving on Earth, the infant son of Jor-El was raised by a Kansas couple named Jonathon and Martha Kent. At the same time, Kal became known by many as Clark Kent and found himself possessing incredible superhuman powers. With these powers, Kal decided to fight for truth and justice as the hero known as Superman.

In his adult life, Superman protected the city of Metropolis from the likes of various supervillains, most notably Lex Luthor. He arrived in Gotham City to present a $100,000,000 dollar check to the city, however Metallo interrupted the ceremony and began a fight between him and the man of steel. Superman found himself weakened by the Kryptonite heart Metallo possessed, and was beaten down by the malicious cyborg.

Superman, too weak to defend himself, was taken by Metallo to a nearby junkyard where he was suffering at the hands of his Kryptonite powered foe. Batman and Robin intervened and began fighting off Metallo. Utilizing the Batmobile as a battering ram, Batman sent Metallo into a nearby gas station which caused an explosion. The Batmobile remained unscathed and Metallo was virtually untouched, however it was Batman who noticed the cracked glass covering the Kryptonite heart. Batman threw several batarangs at him, two of which were destroyed, but Robin threw a third to pierce the crack and explode.

The Kryptonite landed in front of Robin who took it far from Superman's location. Superman's powers fully restored and he stopped Metallo before he killed Batman. Superman punched the cyborg into a nearby trash compactor where he incapacitated his foe. Subduing Metallo, Superman demanded the Kryptonite and despite deducing Batman's identity with his x-ray vision, Batman agreed to hand over the rock.

Powers & Abilities

 *  Kryptonian Physiology:  Being a native of the planet Krypton, Superman's physiology grants him unique physical powers on the planet Earth. These powers are due to the radiation of Earth's yellow sun and the weaker gravity of the planet he now lives upon.
 * Solar Energy Absorption: Superman's natural biology enables him to soak up ultraviolet radiation and store it in his body. This makes him similar to that of a solar battery.
 * Invulnerability: Superman's dense molecular structure makes him virtually impervious. This means he cannot feel pain and his body is unharmed by virtually anything. This also makes him immune to all known human ailments as well as toxins and poisons.
 * Superhuman Strength: Like Martian Manhunter, Superman has the ability to lift an incalculable amount of weight over his head with ease. This is due to the fact that his body is denser than an average human, making him able to lift tons without breaking a sweat.
 * Superhuman Speed: Like the Flash, Superman can move at super and possibly hypersonic speeds. This is also due to the weaker gravity on Earth. This power also enables him to have reflexes too fast for a human eye to comprehend.
 * Superhuman Healing: Though virtually indestructible, whenever Superman sustains injury, his healing factor makes him able to regenerate within mere moments.
 * Longevity: Similar to J'onn J'onzz, Superman's healing factor also acts as a way for him to age slower, though it is believed the man of steel is virtually ageless.
 * Heat Vision: One of Superman's most powerful abilities is the ability to generate and emit powerful beams of energy from his eyes.
 * Superhuman Vision: Superman's eyes give him a variety of optical based powers. This ability gives him the power to see in the electromagnetic spectrum, see things from a great distance, see things at the microscopic level and his most famous, x-ray vision.
 * Superhuman Hearing: When it comes to fighting crime, Superman needs no special signal to be summoned. This is due to the fact that his hearing is so great, he can hear anything and everything from distances he's not even presently located.
 * Flight: A power that has made Superman famous is his ability to defy the laws of gravity. This is of course thanks to his dense molecular structure as well as the gravitational pull of the Earth which is weak by his standards.

Weaknesses

 * Kryptonite: Though he is virtually indestructible, Superman's most infamous weakness is Kryptonite. This substance hails from his home world and it drains him of his powers. Prolonged exposure will possibly even kill him.
 * Red Sun Radiation: Despite being under a yellow sun for most of his life, the natural sun of the Kryptonian people was in fact a red sun. If Superman is exposed to radiation from a red sun, he has no powers at all so long he is exposed. Upon exposure to a yellow sun, his powers will return.
