  Martha Kent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martha Kent, née Martha Clark, also known as Ma Kent, is a fictional character published by DC Comics.
Martha is usually portrayed agewise as either late middle age or elderly.
Martha's character was slightly altered in 2003 when Mark Waid penned the limited series Superman: Birthright which revised Superman's origins yet again and represents the current official canon, despite not being widely advertised at the time as a definitively canonical reboot.

 Jonathan Kent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He is the adoptive father of Superman, and the husband of Martha Kent (also known as "Ma Kent").
Jonathan is usually portrayed as a strong and caring father figure, with both himself and Martha responsible for helping to instill within their adopted son Clark Kent his strong sense of morals, as well as having been the ones to encourage Clark to use his powers for the betterment of humanity.
Renaming him "Clark," Jonathan and Martha took him back to their farm to raise him; there, they soon discovered that Clark possessed a fantastic array of superpowers (gained, as Jonathan learned years later, from exposure to Earth's yellow sun and its lower gravity).

In the post-Crisis comics, Clark Kent is presented more as the "real" person, with Superman the secret identity that he presents to the world to prevent his enemies from harming his family or friends.
