Martha Kent

Martha Kent is the adopted mother of Clark Kent and the husband of Jonathan Kent.

Early Life
Born Martha Clark, she later married local Kansas farmer Jonathan Kent and the pair lived together on his family farm.

At some point in her youth, Martha met and fell in love with a local boy named Jonathan Kent. Jonathan liked Martha as well.

Finding Kal-El
In 1975, when Kal-El arrived from the doomed planet of Krypton, he landed in Smallville, where the man and his wife found his pod; being a kind-hearted couple with no children of their own, they raised him as their own son, naming him "Clark Kent". The man and his wife taught Clark important lessons and strong moral values, which led him to decide to use the extraordinary powers he gained on Earth from its yellow sun to do good, fighting evil and protecting the innocent as Superman.

Raising Clark
Martha loved Clark as her own and raised him with good morals and discipline. Clark had what could be described as an idealistic childhood. Martha noted that Clark was in extremely fit health, and could not recall a time that ever seemed ill, or even under the weather. Clark emerged from accidents without a single blemish on his body. While Jonathan dealt with the problem of Clark's developing powers, she gave him the love and support to keep him grounded.

When Clark was twelve, Jonathan confessed to Clark about the truth of his origins and birth. Clark initially was unaccepting, but later that year Martha and Jonathan were convinced his powers should be used for good. After Clark was motivated by his father, Martha made him a suit out of the same fabric cloth that was in Clark's pod when he arrived on Earth.
