Martha Clark Kent was Superman's adoptive mother.

[edit] History

She and her husband Jonathan witnessed the arrival of the Kryptonian spacecraft bearing the infant Kal-El. In contrast to her husband's skepticism, Martha immediately suggested that they raise the child as their own. She chose to name the baby Clark, after her maiden name. Over the years, Jonathan and Martha's loving, supportive parenting instilled in young Clark a strong sense of morality and the importance of helping those in need--thus providing Superman with an essential heroism to match his vast physical power. Martha and her husband would take in Kara; the last surviving member of the Argos race who would later become Supergirl and provide her with a home as well as a stable home life and loving family. Martha also showed her heroic side, when she, along with Johnathan defended Clark from Brainiac with a shotgun. She and her family also welcomed the Martian Manhunter into their home for the Christmas holiday.
