The Kent Farm is a producing farm located in the rural town of Smallville, Kansas. The farm was owned by the Kent Family for several generations and was the home of Clark Kent.
History[]
Raising Clark Kent[]
The Kent Family had farmed the land the farm was built on for over five generations. In the late twentieth century, it became the home of Jonathan and Martha Kent. It was here that a Kryptonian space pod that was the custodian of an infant child crash landed. The couple took the baby in and named him Clark Kent.[1] Later, Clark witnessed him rescue a school bus, causing Jonathan to reveal that he is not from this planet. Since 1997, the farm has been solely inhabited by Martha after her husband was killed in a tornado and Clark left home to learn about his origins.[2]
Kryptonian Attack[]
Clark returned to the farm after discovering his true origins there. However, a troop of rebel Kryptonians arrived at the farm in search of the Codex. General Dru-Zod and Faora-Ul threatened Martha at the farm in search of the Codex, until Clark suddenly arrived to confront Zod and defeated him in combat in downtown Smallville. After the battle, Clark returned to the farm and was visited by Lois Lane, who revealed to him that she knows how to defeat them. After defeating Zod and sending his troops back to the Phantom Zone, Clark returned to the farm and talked to Martha, who asked him what he would do when he is not Superman. Clark revealed that he got a job at the Daily Planet.[2]
Funeral of Clark Kent[]
Later on, after a devastating battle that involved Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman against Doomsday in Gotham City, New Jersey, Superman sacrificed himself for the world and the woman he loved to defeat Doomsday. Afterwards, while a memorial was held for Superman back east, a small funeral was held for Clark at the Kent farm. Among those notable in attendance who grieved with Martha Kent over her deceased son were Lois Lane, Lana Lang, Pete Ross, Perry White, Jenny Jurwich, and Daniel Leone who presided over Clark's funeral.[3]
Return of Clark Kent[]
Some time later, Clark was resurrected by the newly formed Justice League. After being reassured by Lois Lane, Clark set off with her to the Kent Farm, where he began to reminisce about his past and childhood. When Martha Kent arrived at the place and witnessed her resurrected son, Clark hugged them both before setting off to help the League stop Steppenwolf. Later, as a gift to Clark, Bruce Wayne purchased the bank that bought the farm, allowing Martha to return home.[4]
