After a meteor shower reined on Earth, in the city of Smallville he was found by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who are now his adoptive parents. Clark has a love interest named Lana, but it is not working out for he fears that if he tell her his secret she would always face danger. Currently Clark resides in college and enjoys spending time with his friend and junior reporter Chloe Sullivan.
