Superman is a fictional character regarded as the most famous and popular superhero of all time. 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 first appeared in Action Comics #1 (June 1938) and subsequently appeared in various radio serials, television programs, films, newspaper strips, and video games. He has since become one of the world's most recognized superheroes and pop-culture icons. Today the character's adventures are published in a number of comic books.
As portrayed in Action Comics #1, Superman was born on the planet Krypton as Kal-El, and rocketed to Earth as an infant by his scientist father moments before the planet's destruction. The rocket landed on Earth where a passing elderly farm couple found the baby and adopted him. As the child grew to adulthood he discovered that he possessed powers far beyond those of mortal men and resolves to use his powers to help others. To keep his identity secret when not fighting the forces of evil as Superman he lives among humanity as "mild-mannered" Clark Kent, a reporter for The Daily Star (later changed to The Daily Planet). Clark works alongside reporter Lois Lane, with whom he is romantically involved — and married to in current comics continuity.
Some of his nicknames include "The Man of Steel" (his most famous), "The Man Of Tomorrow", "The Last Son of Krypton", and "Metropolis' Favorite Son".
