2D (Tooty) Tuesday

My choice for Super Hero is Superman. He was first created in 1932 and was rejected by a number of publishers until he appeared in Action Comice in 1938. With a premise that taps adolescent fantasy, Superman was born Kal-El on the alien planet Krypton, before being rocketed to Earth as an infant by his scientist father moments before the planet's destruction. Adopted and raised by a Kansas farmer and his wife, he is raised as Clark Kent.

Upon reaching maturity the character develops superhuman abilities, resolving to use these for the benefit of humanity. -> social conscience, wow!

With the success of his adventures, Superman helped to create the superhero genre and establish its primacy within the American comic book. Superman is today widely considered to be both one of the most famous and popular comic book superheroes of all time, and an American cultural icon.
