The planet Krypton exploded. A little baby called Kal-El, who was sent to Earth by his father, Jor-El, just in time, before the explosion. Kal-El is Krypton's only survivor ... (at least, until a few other characters came to be included).
Kal-El is discovered by a couple of kind Kansas farmers, who came to adopt him and raise him up as their son. Through this, Kal-El gains good moral values and gains a human identity as Clark Kent.
As the son of a brilliant scientist of Krypton, Clark is quite a smart person. His mild mannered nature also hides away the fact that the Earth's environment is different from Krypton's, and he actually has powers beyond what normal humans have. Clark puts on a costume that he made, with an "S" insignia on the chest, made from cloth that came from his home planet, when he assumes this super identity, as "Superman". (Or "Superboy" during his younger years.)
Superman uses his powers to save the USA and the Earth on his course of doing good deeds on his host planet.
