In the Comics[]
Jonathan and Martha Kent have had other children in the comics, besides Clark. Though, like Clark, they have usually been adopted.
In Adventure Comics #260 (May, 1959), the Kents adopts a boy named Allen (who becomes known as "Allen Kent") for one month. Allen turns out to actually be a superpowered alien named Vidal.
In Adventure Comics #297 (June, 1962), Lana Lang is briefly adopted by the Kents, after her parents are believed to have died in Africa. At the end of the story, Lana's parents are revealed to still be alive and returns to her biological family.
Superboy #108 (October, 1963) revealed that Jonathan and Martha had adopted a boy named Tim, before they adopted Clark, who was from a planet called Ulgar. Tim erased all evidence of his existence (and made the Kents forget about him), and returned years later as supervillain Mighto.
