16th century[]
- c. 1502: An ancestor of Kal-El's comes to Earth with several radioactive rocks from the planet Krypton. He falls in love with a Native American woman, thereby fathering the Kawatche people. This prophetic Kryptonian forges the prophecies in the Kawatche Caves, hiding several "parasites" from his homeworld within the cave walls and burying the Starblade so that it will take at least 500 years to recover it. Knowing that his destiny did not lay on Earth with the first of the Kawatche, Kal-El's ancestor bids them farewell, promising he (or rather his descendant, "Naman") would return to protect them all again. He then flies off, hides the sacred Stones of Power all around the Earth while building the reputation of a mighty "god" along the way, before leaving for Krypton once and for all, swearing to the natives of China that he would return for what is his one day.

- May 13, 2011: Lois and Clark's Wedding Day
At the Daily Planet, Lois Lane and Clark Kent go back and forth about the Wedding Lois trying to convince Clark that they are going to call it off with Clark doing the opposite, taking her list of guests and phone to stop her from calling everyone. Eventually Clark tells her she is not in his way but by his side he tells her if she really wonts to call the wedding off, she will have to leave him standing at the altar.
At the wedding chapel, Oliver and Chloe are decorating the aisle while reminiscing the missing memories that was their wedding night. They tell each other that they would have gone through with it even if they hadn’t been under Zatanna's spell. Oliver tells Chloe that she needs to make sure Lois is on time, as she has apparently gone missing for her wedding.
At the Kent farm, Martha looks around in shock at all of the boxes that she sees. She looks into a picture of the three of them and Jonathan’s reflection is seen. Clark arrives and she tells him that he misunderstood her message when she gave him the farm. She tells Clark that he needs to remember his past and what made him when he goes into the future. Clark refutes what she is saying and says that they have to move on and forget what they have lost to progress in their lives. As he leaves after declaring that he has left his past, Jonathan is seen to be crying.
Chloe appears at the Daily Planet and in order to convince Lois, who is insistent that her and Clark should not get married, gives her Clark’s vows. Once Lois reads them, she realizes the mistake she was about to make and runs out of the Daily Planet to prepare for the wedding.
At Watchtower, Tess is desperately trying to access Watchtower's satellites, only to be blocked out at every try. She orders Watchtower to access security footage which reveals Oliver as the person who disabled the satellites. She then tells Watchtower to bring up previous satellite footage which reveals a massive fireball planet descending towards Earth.
Granny, Desaad, and Godfrey meet at their lair when Oliver comes in and tell him of his accomplished mission. They are pleased and then assign him his next task: to remove Clark's powers using a gold kryptonite wedding ring.
At the graveyard, Clark kneels at Jonathan’s grave and expresses his concerns. Jonathan, still unseen by Clark, talks to Clark as he expresses his doubts. Jonathan counters what Clark is saying and does his best to give his unheard advice; Clark says that he has to go beyond that, and Oliver appears. Oliver tells Clark that he has to remember his past, and not hide away from everything that has made him who he is. He tells Clark that he has been down this road, and that Clark is the one who saved him. Clark, adamant on letting go of everything, visits Lois at their apartment. She surprises him by telling him that the wedding is on. She admits that she read his vows and gives him hers in exchange. After discussing what they should do, Clark reads her vows and tells her after moments of silence that he will meet her at the chapel.
Tess is confronted by Granny Goodness, who attempts to persuade Tess to join with Darkseid before revealing that the planet Apokolips is coming to Earth to destroy everything. While verifying the threat, Tess discovers that Oliver has used Watchtower to place all satellites offline to prevent the detection of Apokolips.
(3:00pm) Martha is seated at the wedding, while Oliver and Chloe take their positions as best man and maid of honor, Lois arrives in the doorway and looks around nervous, until Clark takes her by the hand, and they walk down the aisle. As Martha and Jonathan as well as everyone else look on, they begin the wedding. Near the final moments of the wedding Oliver hands Lois the ring for Clark, and Chloe mere seconds before it is placed on Clark hand, realizes that it is made of Gold kryptonite and knocks it away before it can be put on Clark's finger. After they fight briefly, he tells Oliver that he believes in him; Oliver overcomes the power of Darkseid and the Omega symbol fades from his skull. Clark believes everything is alright at that point, but Oliver tells him that the Earth needs its hero sooner than they thought as he shows Clark the coming Apokolips.
Lionel kidnaps Tess in an effort to transplant her heart into another Lex clone, but Tess gets the upper hand and shoots Lionel. Darkseid arrives and Lionel trades his soul for Lex's life. Possessing Lionel, Darkseid confronts Clark, who finally realizes what Jor-El was preparing him for his entire life. Clark accesses his power of flight and vanquishes Darkseid from Lionel's deceased body. Newly revived Lex kills Tess, but not before Tess uses a neurotoxin to erase all of Lex's memories.
Clark goes to the Fortress of Solitude and receives the suit Martha made for him from Jonathan who tells him not to forget his time in Smallville. Clark flies away to stop Apokolips from destroying Earth Clark arrives just in time to save the now out of control Air Force One from crashing. He appears to Lois and nods to her, telling her that everything is alright. As he flies off to stop Apokolips from crashing into Earth, Lois takes a camera and after introducing herself begins to film the President. Oliver watches on amidst the crowds of Metropolis as the red and blue blur from Clark’s cape flies into the sky and moves the planet away from Earth. By moving Apokolips away from the Earth Clark brings hope to all Humanity and breaks their connection to Darkseid. Oliver smiles with pride as the people are freed from Darkseid's control thanks to the efforts of his friend. Clark faces the Earth from space as he embraces his destiny as Superman.
