The Superman - A model for all superheroes
Superman is the greatest Superhero ever. You can try to argue but you’d be wrong. He may not be your favorite, he’s not even my number one, but he’s the greatest there is and he deserves the respect he’s often denied. I’m not saying you have to love Superman or that he should be your favorite superhero, but he’s the best and that’s what I’m going to explain.
First of all, he’s the first superhero. The fact that this single character created by two adolescent jewish boys in the 30’s has spawned one of the largest and longest living industries in the world is something to gawk at in itself. Without Superman there’d be no Batman. No Justice League. No Spider-Man. No DC or Marvel. No comic-cons, no movie franchises, nothing. The world without Superman would be a radically different place and the comic fans that bash him need to realize this single fact before they bash him.
The pure essence of everything that is Superheroes is molded after Superman. Essentially all superhero characters are formed around his template. No matter how radically different they may turn out, he is THE Superhero. The origin story, the superpowers, the secret identity, the love interest, and the villains. He’s obviously not the first character in history to have all of these things but the classic superhero tale is all Superman’s.
Superman’s origin boils down to this: The dying act of two scientists on a doomed planet is to send their infant son to the planet earth where he will can live as one of them. Infant Kal-El is found by two loving farmers, the Kents and is raised to be a good man. Under the Earth’s yellow sun Clark Kent/Kal-El gains amazing superpowers. He travels to Metropolis to work as a reporter and develops the identity of Superman to fight for justice and use his tremendous abilities not to oppress but to help those in need. And the hero rescues and falls in love with the beautiful Lois Lane who only has eyes for Superman and no time for humble Clark Kent.
Superman’s origin has been told countless times. And will continue to be. Everyone wants a crack at telling it, and everyone loves reading it. We’ve seen countless versions of how Krypton has ended, how Clark was raised, who he battles first, etc. The reason I believe Superman’s origin is so retold is that it’s become a myth. A modern mythological hero of a whole new pantheon of champions.
His origin’s iconism allows it to be retold so often because it’s so malleable. You can change the story around because essentially it always boils down to the same tale. Which I find fascinating. Superman IS Superman. It’s very rare to find other characters with this level of iconism. Batman has it. I would say Spider-Man has it to a degree too.
Clark Kent. The good natured farm boy who was raised by two loving parents in Smallville, Kansas. He’s a decent, kinda nerdy, humble guy who doesn’t stand out. Sound familiar? Like it reminds of that person in the mirror? Yeah, it should. Clark Kent is US. Clark is the nerd who does what’s right and doesn’t get the recognition. Clark is the guy who is good at a lot of stuff, but doesn’t get noticed. He’s the guy loves the beautiful girl at work and can’t seem to get her attention because of the big strong guy in the cape she’s in love with. That’s Clark Kent. The mild-mannered reporter.
Superman. The hero. Superman is the guy we all want to be. He’s strong, he’s fast and he can FLY! Love him or hate him, you would be Superman if you had the chance. He’s what we all wish we could be. The nerd who can take off his glasses and be strong and get noticed. He’s also an ideal. This is where people find him too alienating. They can’t seem to be able to connect with the idea that a man with all the power in the world would use his strength to help others and not for personal gain. And if that concept is too foreign to you, than you are beyond help in many ways. I think the idea of this guy who just wants to do good and help others is a beautiful idea. But there’s also the action hero side of Superman. He may want to do good, but he’s a strong dude and he’s not afraid to hit something. He’s a man of action of justice. And he will fight for what’s right.
So that’s who Superman is. The mild-mannered reporter, the strange visitor, and the man of steel.
