Superman is a fictional character, a comic book superhero widely considered to be an American cultural icon. Created by American writer Jerry Siegel and Canadian-born artist Joe Shuster in 1932 while both were living in Cleveland, Ohio, and sold to Detective Comics, Inc. in 1938, the character first appeared in Action Comics #1 (June 30, 1938) and subsequently appeared in various radio serials, television programs, films, newspaper strips, and video games. With the success of his adventures, Superman helped to create the superhero genre and establish its primacy within the American comic book. The character's appearance is distinctive and iconic: a blue, red and yellow costume, complete with cape, with a stylized "S" shield on his chest. This shield is now typically used across media to symbolize the character.
The original story of Superman relates that he was born Kal-El on the planet Krypton, before being rocketed to Earth as an infant by his scientist father Jor-El, moments before Krypton's destruction. Discovered and adopted by a Kansas farmer and his wife, the child is raised as Clark Kent and imbued with a strong moral compass. Very early he started to display superhuman abilities, which upon reaching maturity he resolved to use for the benefit of humanity.

No matter who cast the figure, Superman is indeed the best.

Reeve is by far the Best Superman, but thos routh guy doesnt do bad..
He is gay .. I dont like this .. Need some krypton to kill him any one wanna help me ?
Next only to Spider-Man for me. Coz he’s too invincible. Peter Parker makes Spider-Man easier to identify with.
sooo the best super hero!
so the hottist supper hero! ^^KAT
everyone needs a hero….
can anyone bet him ?
Yeah, this one's easy. Superman is the best. He was the first and all others use him as a model. It's not only his impressive power that makes him the toughest around, but it's how he uses it. He is truly an inspiration. Spiderman may be interesting to some people (definitely not me), but he sure is NOT a good superhero. He does everything wrong. Superman actually knows what he's doing.
