Martha Kent was Superman's adoptive mother and Jonathan's wife. She and her husband Jonathan witnessed the arrival of the Kryptonian spacecraft bearing the infant Kal-El. Martha fell instantly in love with the baby, and insisted that they keep the child and raise him as their own. 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 also take in Kara and Connor and cared for them just like they did to Clark.
