Superman

The first comic-strip superhero, created 1938 in the USA by writer Jerome Siegel and artist Joseph Shuster, later featured in films, television, and other media. In the German philosopher Nietzsche's work, his ideal future human being was the Übermensch, or Superman.

Born on the fictitious planet Krypton (which has more gravitational pull than Earth), Superman has extraordinary powers on Earth, including the ability to fly; he is vulnerable only to kryptonite, rock remnants of his exploded home planet. Between feats of crime-fighting or rescuing accident victims, he leads an ordinary life as meek, mild-mannered newspaper reporter Clark Kent.
