10 Facts About Superman. Superman is a fictional superhero that appears in DC Comics' American comic books. The character was created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, and first appeared in the Action Comics #1 issue (cover-dated June 1938 and published April 18, 1938). [1] Superman has been adapted into a variety of media, including radio serials, novels, films, television episodes, and stage productions.

Kal-El, the mythological planet Krypton, was the birthplace of Superman. His parents sent him to Earth in a small spaceship when he was a newborn, just before Krypton was destroyed in a natural disaster. His ship landed near the fictional town of Smallville in the American countryside. Farmers Jonathan and Martha Kent found him and adopted him, naming him Clark Kent. Clark gained superhuman abilities such as superhuman strength and impenetrable skin. His adoptive parents encouraged him to use his talents for the greater good, thus he chose to fight crime. To protect his personal life, he dons a bright costume and fights crime under the moniker "Superman." Clark lives in Metropolis, a fictional American city where he works for the Daily Planet as a journalist. Superman's foes include General Zod, Brainiac, and his archenemy Lex Luthor, as well as his love interest and colleague journalist Lois Lane, Daily Planet photographer Jimmy Olsen, and editor-in-chief Perry White.
