The History of Superman.
Superman is a fictional character regarded as one of the most famous and popular comic book superheroes of all time and one of the first to embody several of the aspects modernly associated with them. Superman was created by Canadian artist Joe Shuster and American writer Jerry Siegel in 1932 while both were growing up in Cleveland, Ohio and sold to Detective Comics, Inc. in 1938. Superman debuted in Action Comics #1 in June 1938 and later appeared in various radio serials, television programs, films, newspaper strips and video games, contributing to his longstanding, universal popularity. Since 1938 the character’s adventures have been published in a number of comic books. Select this link to view our People and Profession Tree Ornaments.
Superman was born as Kal-El on an alien planet identified as Krypton and was rocketed to Earth while still an infant by his scientist father moments before the planet’s destruction. The rocket landed on Earth, where superman is found by passing motorists who adopt him and give him the name Clark Kent. As Clark reaches maturity, he discovers that he possesses abilities far beyond those of ordinary humans and resolves to use this power to help others, fighting anything ranging from petty crime to universal threats. Becoming Earth’s champion, the media christens him by several nicknames including “The Man of Steel”, “The Man of Tomorrow”, and “The Last Son of Krypton”. To keep his identity secret when not fighting evil as Superman, Clark lives among humanity as a “mild mannered” reporter for the Metropolis newspaper ‘The Daily Star’, which was later changed to ‘The Daily Planet”. Clark works alongside reporter Lois Lane, with whom he is romantically involved. Select this link to view our People and Profession Tree Ornaments.

In the last interview Shuster gave before his death, he explained that he had modeled the visual appearance of Clark Kent on himself and movie star Harold Lloyd and that of Superman on Douglas Fairbanks Senior. Lois Lane was modeled after Joanne Carter, who would later become Jerry Siegel’s wife. The skyscape of Metropolis was inspired by that of the City of Toronto, where Shuster spent most of his childhood. The newspaper Superman worked for, originally the Daily Star, was named after the Toronto Star for which Shuster had been a paperboy. Select this link to view our Wooden Nutcrackers Soldiers.
