Superman was born on the distant planet Krypton as Kal-El. His parents sent him to Earth moments before Krypton's destruction, where he was found and raised by the Kent family in Smallville. Growing up as Clark Kent, he discovered his incredible powers and his duty to use them for good.
The “S” on Superman's chest stands for hope on Krypton. On Earth, it became a global symbol of courage and justice. He embodies the idea that power should serve humanity, not control it, and that everyone has the potential to do what's right, even when it's difficult.
Superman possesses extraordinary powers under Earth's yellow sun: super strength, flight, x-ray and heat vision, invulnerability, and super speed. Yet his true strength lies not in his abilities, but in his compassion and unwavering moral compass.
Since his debut in 1938, Superman has inspired generations as the first great superhero. Beyond comic books, he has influenced movies, TV, and culture worldwide, reminding people that heroes can come from anywhere — and that hope never truly dies.
