Clark Kent grew up in Smallville and before he became Superman he was a normal average kid who just happened to discover his hidden talents which were super powers. The DC Comic character we all grew up with, Superman, has been portrayed as a super powerful entity from the planet Krypton who, after landing on earth, grew up in the Midwest as a normal boy and went on to work as a reporter for the Daily Planet. Early Clark Kent is seen as an average in school, very handsome boy who has friends and plays pranks just like every other boy in Kansas. Tom Welling (Cheaper By The Dozen, The Fog) plays Clark Kent at a period in his life where he is just realizing his magical gifts and super powers. Based on the comic book character, Clark is eager to show his adopted parents how useful he can be in a wide variety of ways and this brings about many humorous situations on the show. This TV version of the ever popular comic book series has been extremely successful and highly entertaining.
