Superman, whose Kryptonian name is Kal-El, while his Earth name is Clark Kent, is a comic book character created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in 1933, but published by DC Comics only in 1938. He is also nicknamed "The Man of Steel" or "The Blur" in the TV series Smallville. A man capable of lifting a car, wearing a blue costume and a red cape on his shoulders, surrounded by a group of frightened passers-by: this is the first image of Superman, the one with which he made his debut on newsstands in the United States. The character, however, also by choice of his own authors, is not a Superman in the Nietzschean sense, but embodies more the Emersonian myth of a man representative of our cravings for power, a man with superpowers, which he puts at the service of the community. The website IGN has placed Superman at the first position in the ranking of the one hundred greatest heroes in the history of comics, before Batman.
