About Superman[]

Superman was born Kal-El on the planet Krypton and, as an infant, was rocketed to Earth by his scientist father, Jor-El, moments before Krypton exploded. The rocket landed on Earth outside the town of Smallville, where young Kal-El was discovered and adopted by the amiable Jonathan and Martha Kent. As he grew, he discovered that he possessed powers far beyond those of mortal men and women and resolves to use them to help others.

When not fighting the forces of evil as Superman, he lives among humanity as Clark Kent, a "mild-mannered reporter" for the Daily Planet. Clark works alongside reporter Lois Lane, with whom he is romantically involved.

Superman is an slender, muscular strong man with fair skin, blue eyes and black hair.

As Superman, he wears an blue suit with an yellow emblem with an red border and the letter "S" inside, he also dons red cape, boots, and briefs with an yellow belt to go with the outfit.
