Superman was not born on the Earth. He was born on a planet called Krypton, far away in space.
Its sun was red. Superman‘s father, Jor-el, was a scientist. He knew Krypton would blow up,
and told people they had to build spaceships and leave the planet. Nobody believed him. Jor-el and
his wife Lar-el built a small spaceship for their baby son because they did not have enough time to
build a big spaceship. They sent him into space and then died when Krypton exploded. The little
spaceship landed in America, and Mr. and Mrs. Kent took care of baby they found. The light from
the Earth’s yellow sun made him very strong and able to fly because yellow sunlight changes the
bodies of people from the planet Krypton. The baby grew up to be Clark Kent-otherwise known as
Superman
