Kal-El's Spacecraft

"It's not from this world Clark. And neither are you."

-Jonathan Kent to Clark Kent.

Kal-El's Spacecraft, is a small self programmed one maned star shuttle that carried the infant Kal-El from Krypton to Earth. It was built by the scientist Jor-El, father of Kal-El as a means of a one-way safe transport from the destruction of the planet.

Early History
The ship was a small one manned craft built on the planet Krypton. With the planet at war and the planet about to explode, Jor-El and his wife Lara Lor-Van decided to place their only infant child Kal-El into the ship and sent it to the planet Earth where one of Jor-El's scout ships had previously been sent.

The ship landed in the rural town of Smallville, Kansas and found by local farmers Jonathan Kent and wife Martha. The ship opened and revealed the young boy inside who they took in as their own named him Clark and hid his true heritage from him by hiding the ship from him.

When Clark was 13 and had developed numerous extraordinary abilities, he saved a school bus that had gone into a river and began to question his origin. He and his adopted father, Jonathan decided to go into the farm's storm cellar where the vessel was undisturbed. He then revealed that the ship is alien in origin and so was Clark. Initially, Clark was troubled by this news but was conforted by his father.
