We also got to see how Lane's Martha helped a scared young Clark adapt to his emerging super powers. Each screen incarnation of Martha helps show how the rural, all-American Kents formed Clark's moral character. Diane Lane played a much younger Martha Kent in Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Justice League.

Eva Marie Saint played Martha Kent in Superman Returns, a film that was a callback to the Reeve movies. Martha Kent (Superman) Superman's adoptive mom Martha Kent first appeared on the big screen in the 1948 serial played by Virginia Carrol, but it was Phyllis Thaxter's portrayal in the 1978 epic that defined Martha on the big screen for a generation. She may have only had a handful of time with her son, but her and Jor-El's mission to spare Kal-El from the destruction of his home world gave Earth a hero. Ayelet Zorer played a fiercer version of Lara in Man of Steel.

Lara (Superman) Kal-El's Kryptonian (and quite doomed) mother Lara first appeared on film in a 1948 serial played by Luana Walters, but it was Susannah York who got the most screen time as Lara appearing in three Christopher Reeve films. Frigga returned for a memorable sequence in Avengers: Endgame where Thor got to see her one last time, she gave him a pep talk, and encouraged him to eat a salad once in a while. Her death was enough to unite warring brothers Thor and Loki.

Frigga (Thor) Rene Russo's Frigga might not have had much to do in the first Thor movie (you try being married to someone who falls into a cosmic sleep!), but the queen - SPOILER! -got a heroic send-off in the sequel after she was slain making a valiant stand against Malekith during his attack on Asgard.

In honor of today being Mother's Day, we're showcasing our dozen favorite moms of big screen superheroes.
