Superman has to hide his identity behind a’normal’ human character known as Clark Kent, the name given to him by his adoptive parents. As a young man, Clark secures a position as a reporter for the Daily Planet, the title of the daily newspaper of the city in which he resides, Metropolis. He is caught in having to suddenly disappear as Clark Kent and reappear as Superman to conceal his true identity to his boss Perry White, photographer Jimmy Olsen, and the girl of his dreams, Lois Lane. His arch enemy is villain Lex Luthor, who somehow thinks Superman is hindering the advancement of human kind with his adventures.

There are a number of other villains in the story, however Lex Luthor appears more times than any other villain character. Other Superman Coins from Canada.
