Superman – the character. Born on the planet Krypton, the young baby who would be known as Superman later in life, was launched into space in a capsule by his parents just before the total destruction of his home planet. When the capsule crashes in a field in Kansas, he is discovered by the farmer who owns the land and his wife. They raise the strange child as their own, learning of a number of special abilities he has while growing up. Given the name “Clark Kent, ” his Earth-parents teach him to use his powers for good, but to never let his true identity be known to anyone, as villains would find him and destroy him out of greed and jealousy. 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. Luthor is often seen both as a recluse and as a power-mad billionaire, both of which are true to his character. There are a number of other villains in the story, however Lex Luthor appears more times than any other villain character. Superman – cultural icon. Through the years since his invention, Superman has appeared more than any other superhero in comic books, radio shows, television shows, movies, and a whole host of other products. He is the best known and most recognizable fictional superhero in history, and has had works published about him in more than half the languages of the world. Much of this could be because he was originally invented in a time when the country was in financial crisis – the Great Depression – a period when jobs were scarce, and the American people needed an entertaining superhero doing good for the world to take their minds off the bleak reality that plagued the nation.
