For some reason, in the comics section there is nothing about Superman or about Batman. With some surprise, I found that many people know almost nothing about them, especially about Superman. Batman is more famous due to many good films. Many even wear T-shirts with a sign of Superman and do not know anything about him, only legendary glory remained of him, and he himself was lost somewhere.

So, Superman was invented in 1936, that is, as much as 73 years ago, friends Jerome Sigel Joe Schuster.
In 1938, the Action Comics appeared for the first time about Superman. (First number: http://www.box.net/shared/cm9xivq9n5 )
Kal El, the son of Jor Ela and Lara, was born on a doomed planet Krypton. Geor-El hoped to send his pregnant wife from the planet on the test ship, but Cala El was born earlier than planned, and the life support system of the ship was designed for only one. Therefore, one child was sent to the ground, the last son of Krypton.
The baby’s ship landed next to Smallville, in Kansas, where he was found by Jonathan and Marta Kent, who raised him as his son, Clark Kent. In the course of his growing up, he began to show amazing abilities, including the ability to fly.
Basically, comics tell about his heroism, during his work by a journalist at the world -famous Daily Planet newspaper in the metropolis, where he moved after the college and hides his essence under the glasses and the name of Clark Kent, although there are those that, for example, describes childhood and adolescence (Smallville series).

Superpowers:
- Crypton physiology . The molecular structure of the superman is more dense, elastic and biologically more effective than human tissues. It has superhuman force only when recharging the energy of sunlight. Due to this, the energy of his forces increase by about 12,000 times. The exact value of the superman is unknown, but it is generally accepted that the superman is strong enough to raise 100,000 tons or more. In the series “Lois and Clark: the new adventures of Superman,” he easily raises a statue of freedom and flies with it.
- invulnerability . The body of Superman is almost invulnerable to extraordinary energy manifestations. He can swallow the bomb. In the film Superman IV: the struggle for peace, he intercepts alternately sent by the United States and the Soviet Union nuclear warheads and sends them to outer space.
- Superhuman endurance . Nevertheless, sometimes he needs to sleep. There are several comics with his dreams. Superman can hold his breath for an indefinite time.
- Flight . With earthly gravity, Superman is able to develop speed, many times higher than the speed of any earthly vehicle.
- Superhuman breathing . This force allows Superman to create hurricane winds with his breath
- Superhuman hearing . The ability to hear any sound of any volume. The only creature on earth that can hear sounds at the same frequency (this is a blue whale. Superman is able to recognize a person by heartbeat or selectively hear a voice from an entire city.
- Fiery vision . The ability to shoot at a target with high temperature rays.
- X -ray view . Superman can see through any objects except those made of lead.
His only weaknesses are: cryptonite (crypton with a crypton with radioactive radiation), magic, lead (cannot see through it) and the lack of sunlight (loss of strength)

The most famous comics about him:
I almost never slept for three days, I was looking for various comics about Superman all over the Internet. Found, we must give me tribute, extremely a lot. Almost all that is.
I laid out a lot on Box.net. Very worthy - Superman/Batman.
