The Kent family are a human family who are residents of mainly Smallville and Metropolis, and typically adopt a stranded Kryptonian by the name of Clark Kent/Kal-El.
History[]
Original multiverse[]
Earth-38[]
The Kents are a family of farmers that owned and operated the Kent Farm since generations. When Kal-El arrived from the doomed planet of Krypton landing on Smallville, he was found by "Pa" and "Ma" Kent, who raised him as their own son, providing him with strong moral values.[1]

At some point, Clark moved to Metropolis and became Superman. He met Lois Lane at the Daily Planet and they started dating.[2]
After the Elseworlds, Clark proposed to Lois and they temporarily relocated to Argo,[3] where they had their son Jonathan.[4]
Earth-TUD22[]
The Kents are a family of farmers that owned and operated the Kent Farm since generations. When Kal-El arrived from the doomed planet of Krypton landing on Smallville, he was found by "Pa" and "Ma" Kent, who raised him as their own son, providing him with strong moral values.[5]
Unfortunately, the Kents perished in a car crash on the Fourth of July when Kal was still young. After a stint in an abusive foster home, the U.S. government exploited Kal to extremes - such that Jor-El quickly responded to speak with him to overcome his inhibitions. Later, Kal moved to Metropolis and became Superman. Despite being loved by the people of Earth, Kal's brother and newfound ally, Tal-Rho, started to 'eradicate' certain individuals, which resulted in them attacking the globe by first destroying American cities - including Coast City and Metropolis.[6]

Anti-Monitor Crisis[]
During the Anti-Monitor Crisis/if any of the Kents were still alive (barring several incidents that caused their untimely or unseen deaths), everyone in the multiverse except for the seven Paragons, were killed in an antimatter wave by the Anti-Monitor on December 10, 2019,[8] only to be restored a month later, after the Paragons and the Spectre created a new universe.[9]
New multiverse[]
Earth-Prime[]
As a result of the merging of Earth-38 with Earth-1 and Earth-TUD5, the timeline was slightly changed, resulting in Lois and Clark having two sons instead of just one.[10]
Earth-TUD25[]
Lois and Clark had two sons; Jordan and Jonathan, they were both in 2006.
Jordan had destructive outbursts and tantrums that were eventually diagnosed as social anxiety disorder, while Jonathan was a happy, athletic kid.
Following Martha's death, Clark, Lois and their two sons, Jonathan and Jordan moved to the Kent's old farm in Smallville.[11]
The family learns that Morgan Edge is Tal-Rho, Kal-El's maternal half-brother. Tal-Rho plotted to use the Eradicator, technology created by Lara Lor-Van, to supplant Kryptonian consciousnesses into Humans, as "Subjekts" and have those Subjekts conquer the world. However, he was stopped by Kal-El.[12]
