Superman

 
  • Superman is a fictional character, a comic book superhero widely considered to be an American cultural icon. Created by American writer Jerry Siegel and Canadian-born artist Joe Shuster in 1932 while both were living in Cleveland, Ohio, and sold to Detective Comics, Inc. in 1938, the character first appeared in Action Comics #1 (June 30, 1938) and subsequently appeared in various radio serials, television programs, films, newspaper strips, and video games. With the success of his adventures, Superman helped to create the superhero genre and establish its primacy within the American comic book.[1] The character's appearance is distinctive and iconic: a red, blue and yellow costume, complete with cape, like a circus costume, with a stylized "S" shield on his chest.This shield is now typically used across media to symbolize the character.
  • The origin story of Superman relates that he was born Kal-El on the planet Krypton, before being rocketed to Earth as an infant by his scientist father Jor-El, moments before Krypton's destruction. Discovered and adopted by a Kansas farmer and his wife, the child is raised as Clark Kent and imbued with a strong moral compass. Very early he started to display superhuman abilities, which upon reaching maturity he resolved to use for the benefit of humanity.
  • While referred to less than flatteringly as "the big blue Boy Scout" by some of his fellow superheroes, Superman is hailed as "The Man of Steel", "The Man of Tomorrow", and "The Last Son of Krypton" by the general public within the comics. As Clark Kent, Superman lives among humans as a "mild-mannered reporter" for the Metropolis newspaper Daily Planet (Daily Star in the earliest stories). There he works alongside reporter Lois Lane, with whom he is romantically linked. This relationship has been consummated by marriage on numerous occasions across various media, and the union is now firmly established within the mainstream comics continuity.
  • Superman has fascinated scholars, with cultural theorists, commentators, and critics alike exploring the character's impact and role in the United States and the rest of the world. Umberto Eco discussed the mythic qualities of the character in the early 1960s, and Larry Niven has pondered the implications of a sexual relationship the character might enjoy with Lois Lane. The character's ownership has often been the subject of dispute, with Siegel and Shuster twice suing for the return of legal ownership. The copyright is again currently in dispute, with changes in copyright law allowing Siegel's wife and daughter to claim a share of the copyright, a move DC parent company Warner Bros. disputes.

Lex Luthor

   Superman's arch enemy

    Lex Luthor is a fictional character that appears in comic books   published by DC Comics. The character first appeared in Action   Comics #23 (Apr. 1940), and was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe   Shuster. Luthor is described as "a power-mad, evil scientist" with   incredible technological prowess. His goals typically on killing   Superman, usually as a stepping stone to world domination. Though   he periodically wears a powered exoskeleton, Luthor has   traditionally lacked superpowers or a dual identity.

    The character was originally depicted as a mad scientist in the vein   of pulp novels, who wreaks on planet with his futuristic weaponry. In   his earliest appearances, Luthor is shown with a full head of red hair,   though he later depicted bald as the result of an unexplained goof. A   1962 story by Robert Bernstein expanded upon Luthor's origin and   motivations, revealing him to be a childhood friend of Superboy who   lost his hair in a chemical spill.

    Following the 1985 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths, the   character was re-imagined as a Machiavellian industrialist and white   collar criminal, even briefly serving as President of the United   States. In recent years, various writers have revised Luthor's classic   persona from the 1970's, most notably in the 2005 series All Star   Superman. Wizard magazine rates the character #8 on its "100   Greatest Villains of All Time" list.

    In Justice League of America (vol. 2) #21, Luthor can be seen   associating with Libra's Secret Society of Super Villains and placed   in its Inner Circle. Lex Luthor wanted Libra to prove himself, so Libra   sends Clayface to blow up the Daily Planet. As Lex Luthor attempted   to ambush Libra after learning that he's a prophet of Darkseid, Lex   Luthor soon ends up surrounded by Justifiers. Libra tells Lex Luthor   to make a final choice... swear an oath to Darkseid or become a   mindless slave.
