7. Superman/ Kal-el
The big boy scout isn't just orphaned from his parents but from his planet. Supes' might just be the most famous member of this list but he's not quite the definitive film orphan. Background After his kindly Dad rocketed baby Kal-el towards earth he snuffed it along with Kal-el's mum and the rest of their planet. Three years later Kal-el is found by Jonathan and Martha Kent and is raised by them until at the age of 18 he is reunited with an A.I. Version of his daddy and learns how to use his powers for the good of mankind Importance of being orphaned Unlike a lot of other characters on this list Superman had a pretty decent set of surrogate parents to bring him up in the absence of his biological parents and he even has A.I. versions of his biological parents at his fortress of solitude. It'd be unfair to the others on this list to put Supes' up higher. He had a decent childhood and was (kind of) reunited with both his Mum and Dad at the age of 18. Companions Although he's got some pals Superman is a bit of a Billy-no-mates. You can kind of count his surrogate parents here but that's really stretching it. The most powerful man on this list might just be the loneliest.
