Superman
Superman stands out as the top of the top when it comes to superheroes because he was in many ways the original superhero. The Kryptonian we know and love today is a far different one as apposed to what Clark Kent started as. The original Superman was the brain child of comic book writer Jerry Siegel and comic book artist Joe Shuster. They joined forces in a high school in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1933. The character made it's debut in a Detective Comics. Superman soon blossomed into an American cultural icon. Off of the success of such hits as Superman and Batman, Detective Comics spread into the comic empire now known as DC Comics. Superman's appearance has become iconic; donning a blue costume with a red cape, and a large red and yellow S on his chest. Superman's logo has become synonymous with superheroes. Superman first appeared in the first issue of the Detective Comics production Action Comics. (June 1938) He soon became so popular he made various appearances in radio serials, television programs, films, newspaper strips, and video games. Superman played in enormous role in establishing the popularity of the American Comic Book.
Superman was born Kal-El of Krypton. After a catastrophe befell Krypton he was rocketed to Earth by his father Jor-El. Superman crash landed in Smallville, Kansas and was adopted by a farmer named Jonathan Kent and his wife. The child was raised Clark Kent, and taught wrong from right and developed a strong morale compass. He started to display superhuman abilities at a young age. He made the choice to use is superhuman abilities to benefit the world he grew to call home. Superman decided to make the sprawling city of Metropolis is home base on Earth. Superman spends his time as a news reporter so he can stay close to the crime world without revealing his secret identity. He works for the Daily Planet, the main newspaper in Metropolis. Superman's list of enemies grows fast but one stands above them all, Lex Luthor.
Next week I will tell the story of Lex Luthor next week.

When you were describing his costume, you left out his spandex red panties, haha. I wonder if you liked the newest 2013 movie. I like how you addressed the origin of DC comics. Superman is one of my least favorite superheroes, but he has the best enemies. I don't really life Kal-El's alter ego being a journalist so he can keep up with crime because that almost doesn't make sense.
