The infant Kal-El. Although tales of Superman's early life are now referred to as "Superbaby stories," Superbaby was not his official name at the time, and his presence was generally unknown; Clark Kent's first secret identity was Superboy.
Reference and Usage:

With each rash of new super-baby sightings there invariably seemed to follow an outbreak of tales of a werewolf in some cavern, or a 100-year-old Indian medicine man who hid out in the woods, or the old reliable flying saucers." (LSOK, Ch. 11)
