Superman

"Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!

Also known as the Man of Steel or the Last Son of Krypton, Superman is a longstanding superhero from the DC continuum originally created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. He is easily one of the most powerful superheroes in that continuum, possessing a wide variety of superpowers including superstrength, invulnerability, heat vision, ice breath, and flight among others. Originally from the planet of Krypton, Superman was sent to Earth by his father just before that world exploded, hence his title as the Last Son of Krypton. He was discovered on Earth by a Kansas farmer and his wife, and adopted by them as Clark Kent.

Superman is a sworn upholder of truth and justice for all, though he is based, as it were, in the American city of Metropolis. He has been described by many as the "Boy Scout" superhero, due to his solid moral standards and role as protector of all on Earth regardless of nationality, race, or creed. He has only two weaknesses; magic, and the radioactive element known as kryptonite, naturally meaning that kryptonite is ridiculously common in the DC 'verse. He is regarded by some as a Canon Stu.
