is this show set in sometime in 90's , present or not so distant future
 
It's....the present....
 
Clarks about 20/21 cause he was supposedly 14/15 when show started...
 
Season 1 was his freshman year in highschool, I think. He graduated in season 4, right?
 
Graduated in Season 4. He should be 20 right now going on 21.
 
His ship landed in 1989, he was about 2-3 at the time
 
And Lex was 9 when the meteor shower happened, making him 21 in Season 1, and therefore 27 now.
 
16th century
c. 1502: An ancestor of Kal-El's comes to Earth with several radiated rocks from the planet Krypton. He falls in love with a Native American woman, resulting in the start of the Kawatche people. This prophetic Kryptonian forged the prophecies in the Kawatche Caves, hiding several "parasites" from his homeworld within the cave walls and burying the ancient Starblade so that it would take at least 500 years to recover it. Knowing 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 Kryptonian Stones of Power all around the world while building the reputation as a mighty "god" along the way. He then leaves for Krypton once and for all, swearing to the natives of China that he would return for what was his (the Crystal of Air) one day. (Sources episodes: Skinwalker, Talisman, Sacred)
