Fan Casting Jonathan Kent in Return to the DC Universe

Clark Kent's adopted father, Jonathan Kent and his wife Martha had tried to conceive for a great deal of time, but they had been unable to. But fate blessed them when Kal-El's birthing matrix came from the rocket that sent him to Earth crashed in the fields of Kansas. Taking the infant as their own, Jonathan and Martha raised Clark with all the love they had and kept his powers a secret. Helping Clark grow, Jonathan was originally meant to die but fate left him having a stroke and on life support, until he recently came off life support, getting to know his grandson Jon.
