Did you know?

  • Superman made his first appearance in 1938 in Action Comics #1.
  • The meteorites, in which Superman fell to earth, were parts of the planet Krypton where he originated. The rock is known as kryptonite.
  • Superman and his people did not have supernatural powers on Krypton, because there was a red sun. The sun in our solar system is yellow and this is what gives Superman his extraordinary power. However, it has a negative effect on kryptonite. This makes kryptonite toxic for Superman.
  • Superman is powerless against magic.
  • Clark Kent’s favourite dish is Boeuf Bourguinon with tomato sauce.
  • Superman moves his head from side to side at a speed that is so great that one cannot see he is doing it. The result of this is that his face is always unclear if someone takes a photo of him.
  • In the very first Superman comics he could not fly. He could only jump very far.
  • Superman’s real name on Krypton was Kal-el. His father was Jor-El and his mother was Lara.
  • His five greatest rivals are Doomsday, Batman, Captain Marvel, Mohammed Ali and Lex Luthor. The Incredible Hulk comes sixth only.

It is interesting to note that whereas in the past heroes usually rode on horseback, or sailed the seas in ships, today’s heroes have other means of transport. Superman flies by his own magical powers, and Luke Skywalker flies through space in a spaceship. Even Nash Bridges has his old yellow convertible!
