Super DJ Clark Kent (born Rodolfo Franklin) is a hip hop DJ, record producer and music executive. His crew of DJs is called "The Supermen", and his DJ moniker is derived from the name of Superman's alter ego.

He produced tracks for artists such as Lil Kim, Notorious BIG, Canibus, Lil' Vicious, Mona Lisa and Rakim as well as groups such as The Future Sound and Original Flavor which included a then little known rapper called Jay-Z. The biggest hit he produced was "Loverboy" by Mariah Carey, which peaked at #2 in the US on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. Franklin accidently overheard the then unknown rapper Moses Michael Leviy (AKA Jamal Barrow BKA Shyne) rhyming in a barbershop, who, noting the young MC's vocal similarity to the late Notorious B.I.G., steered him towards Combs and Bad Boy.

He is also the cousin of recording artist Foxy Brown.
