Appearance
Personality
Superman is commonly seen as a brave and kind-hearted hero with a strong sense of justice, morality and righteousness. He adheres to a strict moral code often attributed to the Midwestern values with which he was raised. His commitment to operating within the law has been an example to many other heroes but has stirred resentment among others, who refer to him as the "big blue boy scout." Superman can be rather rigid in this trait, causing tensions in the superhero community.
To protect his secret identity, Superman has constructed a persona in his civilian identity as Clark Kent. To the world at large, Clark is a mild-mannered and clumsy person.
Having lost his home world of Krypton, Superman is very protective of Earth, and especially of Clark Kent’s family and friends. This same loss, combined with the pressure of using his powers responsibly, has caused Superman to feel lonely on Earth.
Abilities:
Energy Absorption
As a Kryptonian, Kal-El possesses the ability to absorb the light and radiation of stars, specifically those in the yellow spectrum. His Kryptonian body is constantly absorbing and storing energy from Earth's yellow sun, which in turn grants him incredible powers, such as superhuman strength, enhanced senses, impenetrable skin, and even the ability to defy gravity. His body is also able to absorb the radiation of a blue sun, this grants him increased strength and various other powers.
Superhuman Strength
Kal-El has the ability to lift massive amounts of weight. Kal-El's strength is so vast due to the absorption of yellow solar radiation his Kryptonian physiology empowers his entire body, including his musculature. His strength is aided in lifting/supporting the most massive objects, especially when flying by the bio-electric force field his body produces which encompasses his body.
Superhuman Speed
Due to Superman's Kryptonian physiology has has an enhanced metabolism, muscular speed, and nervous system he has been granted a speed that is much greater compared to that of a human. He is able to see and avoid objects moving at incredible speeds and is also able to move faster than the human eye can perceive. When his body is charged with solar energy he is able to avoid laser fire at point blank range. Kal-El is also able to see other beings moving at superhuman speeds and can constantly move at a superhuman rate but this drains his solar reserves very fast if he is not under a yellow star at the time.
Superhuman Vision (Telescopic, Microscopic, X-Ray)
Kal-El is able to see over great distances and perceive even the smallest of objects. This vision also allows him to see through the atomic structure of an object, though he is unable to see through lead.
Heat Vision
Superman’s physiology can covert stored solar energy into beams of highly concentrated heat energy which can reach temperatures comparable to those produced by stars. The two beams of energy which are released from his eyes are bright red in colour, but at lower temperatures can be made invisible, allowing him to work undetected.
Super Hearing
Kal-El has the super human ability to hear all sounds at any volume or pitch.
Superhuman Stamina
Superman’s Kryptonian physiology allows him exert himself to physical peak for an undetermined amount of time. When Kal-El is under a star with a yellow spectrum he is constantly replenishing his solar reserves. When Kal-El is under a G type dwarf star with a yellow spectrum his solar energies are constantly being replenished. Although he will not lose his abilities due to being under this star at one point he still will require rest.
Invulnerability
Due to his Kryptonian physiology Kal-El has a bio-electric force field that protects his body from harm. His muscular tissue is much denser than that of a normal human.
Flight
While Supermans body is charged with solar energy he is able to emit a gravitational field that enables him to defy gravity. Kal-El has extreme mobility while he is in flight allowing him to fight, change course and also carry great weights. While in Earths atmosphere Kal-El is able to move at high Mach Speed and while in space he can move at beyond light speeds. Kal-El tends to avoid moving at FTL speeds while in a planet’s atmosphere so that he does not harm the area around him. Kal-El has been seen flying from the Earth to the moon in mere seconds.
Freeze Breath
Kal-El has the ability to freeze his enemies using his breathe. He is able to control the temperature with which he expels this power.
Super Breath
Kal-El has the ability to suck in a large amount of air into his lungs and either hold it within him for a long period of time or create strong forces of wind with it.
Longevity
Yellow sun powered Kryptonians can live almost indefinitely.
Total Recall
Kal-El has the ability to instantly recall events that he pays specific attention to or that hold great emotional significance to him. When he has absorbed solar energy he has the ability to solve problems with superhuman speed.
Equipment:
Not much. Superman relies on his developing abilities, mostly on his superhuman strength and intellect.
Weaknesses:
Magic: Superman's biomatrix is his most powerful asset, but the strength of this field is also its greatest weakness. It's permeability to certain wavelengths makes Superman vulnerable to certain radiations, particularly magical energies whose chaotic electromagnetic or extradimensional signatures disrupt this forcefield. Superman's vulnerability to magic varies on the special effects of the magic. No magic seems to be able to directly destroy him unless it comes from a semi-divine or divine source. He can be injured and worn down by magical entities. Magic can have powerful and unpredictable effects on Superman and his magical enemies have often proven to be the most dangerous.
Kryptonite: Since the destruction of Krypton, its remains (rendered radioactive by the explosion) have been spreading throughout the universe as Kryptonite, a crystalline substance whose specific radiation is lethal to Kryptonians native to this reality. The most common form of Kryptonite is Green Kryptonite, and its effect is directly poisonous. Kyrptonite from other realities does not necessarily have the same effects on all Kryptonians. For example, Kryptonite from the Pocket Universe is not as lethal to Superman as Kryptonite that comes from his native reality. Superman was able to survive inside a Red Sun that was surrounded by Kryptonite.
Lead: Superman cannot see through lead with his vision powers.
Solar Energy: Superman abilities will eventually weaken without replenishing his energy reserves with normal (yellow) sun radiation. When exposed to the same red solar radiation as Krypton's red sun Rao, it causes Superman to lose his powers within a large amount of exposure until the exposure to yellow sunlight will reverse this effect.

Background:
Here's where your history comes in; explain their origins, their life story, how they came to be the hero/villain/ice cream truck driver they are now. To keep from having to go right back to edit it, you should usually write the background up to the point they become a hero, even if you plan on waiting a few threads before making their big debut. Four well-sized paragraphs bare (BARE) minimum, and that's only if they've led a thoroughly uninteresting life.

Sample Post:
Here's where you wow us; you can roleplay either side of your character's 'secret identity,' and either write a brief story snippet with the character, or act as if you were opening a thread. Indeed, you can use your sample post FOR your first thread, if you're accepted. Note that this sample must be of the character you are applying for, and you are required to have one whether you have an accepted character or not.
