ABOUT SUPERMAN...
Superman is a fictional character and superhero of DC Comics who is considered the first character to embody the particular combination of traits that characterize the modern superhero. The Superman character has appeared in various radio serials, television programs (played by George Reeves and Dean Cain), films (played by Christopher Reeve), and video games. Superman was born Kal-El on the planet Krypton and, as an infant, was rocketed to Earth by Jor-El, his scientist father, moments before Krypton exploded. The rocket landed on Earth outside the town of Smallville, where young Kal-El was discovered and adopted by the amiable Jonathan and Martha Kent. As he grew, he discovered that he possessed powers far beyond those of mortal men and women and resolves to use them to help others. When not fighting the forces of evil as Superman, he lives among humanity as Clark Kent, a "mild-mannered reporter" for the Daily Planet. Clark works alongside reporter Lois Lane, with whom he is romantically involved. Superman's notable powers include vast super strength, speed and stamina, multiple extra sensory and vision powers, invulnerability, longevity, and the ability to fly.
