ORIGINS; Superman is born on an alien world to a technologically advanced
species that resembles humans. Shortly after he is born, his planet is destroyed in
a natural cataclysm, but Superman's scientist father foresaw the calamity and
saves his baby son by sending him to Earth in a small spaceship. The ship is too
small to carry anyone else, so Superman's parents stay behind and die. The ship
lands in the American countryside, where the baby is discovered by the Kents, a
farming couple.
The Kents name the boy Clark and raise him in a farming community.Secret
identity; Superman's secret identity is Clark Joseph Kent, a reporter for the Daily
Planet. Although his name and history originate from his early life with his
adoptive Earth parents, everything about Clark was staged for the benefit of his
alternate identity: as a reporter for the Daily Planet, he receives late-breaking
news before the general public, always has a plausible reason to be present at
crime scenes, and need not strictly account for his whereabouts as long as he
makes his publication deadlines. He sees his job as a journalist as an extension of
his Superman responsibilities—bringing truth to the forefront and fighting for the
little guy. He believes that everybody has the right to know what is going on in the
world, regardless of who is involved.
PERSONALITY
In his first appearances, Superman was considered a vigilante by the authorities,
being fired upon by the National Guard as he razed a slum so that the
government would create better housing conditions for the poor. Soon he was
working side-by-side with the police nowadays Superman is commonly seen as a
brave and kind-hearted hero with a strong sense of justice, morality, and
righteousness. He adheres to an unwavering moral code instilled in him by his
adoptive parents. His commitment to operating within the law has been an
example to many citizens and other heroes, but has stirred resentment and
criticism among others, who refer to him as the "big blue boy scout". Superman
can be rather rigid in this trait, causing tensions in the superhero community. This
was most notable with Wonder Woman, one of his closest friends, after she
killed Maxwell Lord. Booster Gold initially had an icy relationship with the Man of
Steel but grew to respect him. Having lost his home world of Krypton, Superman
is very protective of Earth, and especially of Clark Kent's family and friends. This
same loss, combined with the pressure of using his powers responsibly, has
caused Superman to feel lonely on Earth, despite having his friends and parents.
Previous encounters with people he thought to be fellow Kryptonians, Power
Girl[ and Mon-El, have led to disappointment. The arrival of Supergirl, who has
been confirmed to be his cousin from Krypton, relieved this loneliness somewhat.
Superman's Fortress of Solitude acts as a place of solace for him in times of
loneliness and despair.

SUPPORTING CHARACTERS
1. LOIS LANE;
Love interest and fellow journalist at the Daily Planet. Lois considers Clark Kent to
be a wimp, but she is infatuated with the bold and mighty Superman, not knowing
that Kent and Superman are the same person. Lois suspects Clark is Superman
and tries to prove it, with Superman always duping her in the end; Clark Kent
admits to Lois that he is Superman, and they marry. This was the first story in
which Superman and Lois marry that was not an "imaginary tale." Many
Superman stories since then have depicted Superman and Lois as a married
couple, but about as many depict them in the classic love triangle. In modern era
comic books, Superman and Lois are a stable married couple, and
the Superman supporting cast was further expanded with the introduction of
their son, Jonathan Kent.
2. JIMMY OLSEN;
A photographer at the Daily Planet, who is friends with both Superman and Clark
Kent, though in most stories he does not know that Clark is Superman. Jimmy is
frequently described as "Superman's pal", and was conceived to give young male
readers a relatable character through which they could fantasize being friends
with Superman.
