The Man of Steel Takes to the Skies Again
Superman originated in the 1930's. Eighty years later, the Man of Steel is making another reincarnation, taking on the evil and solving the world's problems one villain at a time. He's gone through many changes throughout the years as the superhero has evolved to suit the era.
Humble Beginnings
Two teenagers in Cleveland were responsible for the birth of a hero. In 1932, Jerry Seigel and Joel Schuster were unable to find a publisher. They went ahead and published "Science Fiction: The Advanced Guard of Civilization." The third issue contained, "The Reign of Superman." However, he wasn't the noble figure we all know today. At that point, Superman was a bald-headed villain who calls to mind his arch nemesis, Lex Luther. A year later, Superman was recast as a hero, although he carried out rough measures of retribution, including execution. By 1940, ground rules established the code for superheroes that is still recognized today; the biggest rule being no killing.
