"Look, Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane!
It's Superman!"

Being Superman is the childhood fantasy of every
little boy and girl (they of course want to be
supergirl). He is an enduring emblem of the
American dream, the young immigrant who comes
to the United States, embraces the culture and
makes something of himself and enriches his
adopted nation. He is a classical
hero in the modern age who fights criminals,
rescues the helpless and has a sense of morals and
justice as strong and unshakeable as he is.

He was born on the planet Krypton, a dying planet.
His parents, Jor-El and Lara hoping to save their
son bundled their newborn child into a rocket and
sent him to Earth so that he may live. The planet then exploded taking his parents and
their entire civilization with it. Now the only knowledge of the planet rests in a memory crystal that was sent along with the young Superman.

His rocket crash landed in Kansas near a town
called Smallville. A young boy was found nearby by
two farmers named Jon and Martha Kent who
named the boy, that they would later adopt, Clark.
As Clark grew older he gained in strength by
absorbing energy from our sun. By the time he was
an adult he had gained the ability to fly, fire heat vision
from his eyes and to see through walls.
From that point, he became the superhero we have all
come to know and love. He became SUPERMAN!
