Biography
Early life
Clark once went "nuts and fought (himself)". He also at some point had a son, Jason. After a reject from Gotham believed the Daily Planet wasn't covering him enough, he played a "practical joke" and gased the building, killing nearly everyone inside.[1]
Crisis of 2019
After the Monitor found a Kryptonian to be the "Paragon of Truth", Clark was visited by Clark Kent and Lois Lane of Earth-38, and Iris West-Allen, who explained the situation to him, further explaining Lex Luthor to be out to kill him. Luthor appeared, using the Book of Destiny to make Earth-96 Clark kill Earth-38 Clark. They briefly fought, but after Lois knocked Lex out, they were able to get through to Earth-96 Clark. They returned to their base of operations, the Waverider, where Clark met his Earth-38 counterpart's son. His doppelgänger, Ray Palmer, attempted to use a piece of technology to locate the other Paragons, but they only found one, that of Kate Kane, who was in the room with them.[1]
Personality
Clark has the same personality as Ray Palmer and Barry Allen (Earth-1). Clark was kind of reclusive when he lost his friends and his wife Lois and his son Jason.
