Jonathan Kent of Earth-3 as he appears in the comics.

Jonathan Kent of Earth-3, the Earth traditionally associated with Ultraman, made his debut in the New 52's story arc Forever Evil.

Jonathan "Jonny" Kent moved along with his wife, Martha, to Smallville to get rich but because the gold mines closed down and their house was in foreclosure they were broke. One day, while the abusive couple was fighting, blaming and trying to kill each other for their own failures, Kal-Il's rocket landed on their house almost destroying it and as a result Jonny also lost his right hand. For several years, Kal-Il forced the Kents to become his parents until the time when they tried to escape the farm. Then the seven year old boy, now named Clark Kent, decided he didn't need them anymore so he killed the Kents and buried them in the cornfield. After that, he burned the farm down and left.
