A meteor shower decimates Smallville, Kansas. Outside of town, Jonathan and Martha Kent are headed home when a rocket-ship lands in front of them. Revealing a dark skin white haired infant and a message from desperate parents begging whoever finds their child to love, to care for him, and give him the life they were never able to give him.
Out in the cosmos having followed the energy trail from the rocket-ship the Auctioneer has come for the last Kryptonian. Since he already placed bids on the infant he sends his drones to Earth to recover it; so that he can sell the child to the highest bidder. Jonathan and Martha take the infant home unsure what to do about him as there is no way to hide the child’s appearance. Martha decides to bundle the child up amd use make-up but Jonathan is unsure.

Relief effort comes to Smallville as the Red Cross and the National Guard is helping out. A couple of men in black suits arrive in town. Chief Douglas Parker along with Sheriff Ethan Miller go to meet Frank Lober of the FBI who are interested in the people of Smallville. Professor Phineas Potter rushes to his sister’s house to find her husband Lewis in tears; as a baby cries being held by his sister, Helen, revealing Phineas’ worst fear that his sister Sarah was dead. Lionel Luthor goes off in search of his children and finds his son standing alone near a crater and his daughter laying beside it. Back at the Kent farm they get an unexpected visitor in Topar the robot teacher who reveals that the Kent’s left behind after taking the infant. He was in the rocket-ship meant to assist with the raising of the Kryptonian child. That’s when pods rain from the sky all over the town and scan all over searching for the the last kryptonian it tramples thru the town as Abigail Ross and her husband Bill record the whole thing. While Jedidiah Colder opens fire on one and they turn to attack. Agent Lober and his team bust out light based weaponry, as the national guard begins opening fire. Chief Parker shouts to the Smallville people to protect their family as they come out with weapons and others rushing their family to safety as Sheriff Miller takes then to townhall. At the Kent farm a pod arrives and as Jonathan goes out to confront it but it teleports them all away instead. Topar finds where they went and flies off in search of them. The Auctioneer begins bidding on the Kryptonian, human, nanny, and guardian. While Jonathan is completely lost by everything he is seeing how huge the Auctioneer is as Martha attempts to reason with him. Trying to convince Auctioneer he is a child not an object but he ignores her. The people in Smallville continue to fight as the towns people actually help injured soldiers to safety. Agent Lober refuses to fall back but Chief Parker forces him to.

Jonathan attempts to find a way out of their prison as Martha apologizes to him for getting him into this situation. She looks to the infant who is calm but Jonathan could never imagine leaving a helpless child or his wife’s side. Just then Topar burst in and frees the Kent’s and places Kal-El inside of him turning into a Kryptonian war suit and begins attacking the Auctioneer. He recalls his drones to the ship and Topar handles them no problem. When Auctioneer turns his attention towards Keldor the robot teacher logs into the ship planning to release his other items in holding if he doesn’t release all of them. Auctioneer reluctantly agrees and sends them back. Martha collects Kal-El from Topar as Jonathan decides to name Kal-El Clark to give him an Earth name. He is as strong as a Clark. Martha likes the name, Clark Joseph Kent. Back in town Agent Lober request a complete lockdown on the town and more agents from Bureau 39.

THE IDEA
This Town is essential to Clark Kent becoming Superman. The people of Smallville are fighters; they don’t just lay down and take shit.
Also, the Kryptonians are these super smart beings. I feel that Jor-El could send a message begging whoever finds the rocket to care for his child and the message be translated into the appropriate language.
Also, I love the idea of Super-Tot. Superman as a baby having adventures much like Kenta the Superman of Japan animated shorts with a mixture of Fooly Cooly and Kal-El can combine with his Rocket Topar into a Kryptonian battle suit.

Topar, is the Robot Teacher from old Silver age Superboy stories meant to help Clark with his powers. For fans in the know he is responsible for one very questionable story regarding the Man of Steel’s manhood. I wanted to incorporate this character and possibly re-imagine that particular story.

I want Superman to be more alien-looking to help sell that he is human on the inside. Also, the values that America is built upon a mixing pot of races, cultures, and ideas. He is the American dream.
