85 years with Superman

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 03-28-2023, 02:57 PM

April 1938 saw the arrival of one of the most iconic American comic characters ever, Superman. He debuted in the Action Comics magazine frm DC Comics. While officially printed June, it was released already in April that year.

Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joseph Shuster. A similair character, also called Superman, was created five years earlier but was a villain and didn't become the same success.

The Superman character we know was born on the planet of Krypton, which orbits the star of Rao. Superman came to Earth in a spacecraft, and gains superpowers from yellow stars, like the Sun.

During his adventures, alone or as member of the Justice League, Superman has fought various enmies from street gangs, Nazis and Fascists to extraterrestrial threats. He has also boxed against Muhammad Ali.

Superman has been seen in various comics, books, cartoons, live-action television series, movies and video games.

While I'm not aware about how popular he is today, he is still the first character that pops up in many people's heads whenever someone mentions the word superhero.
