I'm new and Superman is one of my favorite superheroes.

1) He's the gold standard, the original.

2) He's got all the power of a god, yet he doesn't try to play one. He knows his place in the universe and doesn't abuse his power. A real guardian angel type.

3) The man's humble to a fault. He's always there for his friends, and doesn't belittle anyone. He actually brings out the best in them, makes them feel special- Quote-

The Atom: I remember the first time I met Superman. It was a Justice League case so there were other heroes involved, but in my mind none of them stood as tall or as proudly as Superman. I began to wonder what I was doing in the same room as him, how little he must think of me. But Superman never treated me as anything but an equal. At six inches tall he made me feel like a giant. Now I had to be that giant for him.

4) He's the pillar holding up the League, the lynchpin of the DCU-Quote-

Batman: Flying out of the sky, he once again show us why he sets the standard for so many. Many see him as a naive boyscout whipped by his own selflessness. They will not, cannot, see him for what he is, a hero.

5) Clark's a source of inspiration for the entire superhero community, even Batman( refer above quote), and Wonder Woman-Quote-

Wonder Woman restraining and talking to Superman after he is transformed into Doomsday form by Circe

Wonder Woman: I won't let you give into your pain or guilt. The whole world needs you right now because of who you are and what you do. Because of what you mean to everyone. Because of what you mean to me. Just by being as good as you are.

Superman (changing back and crying): Diana...What have I done to you?

It's another matter that the character has suffered in recent years due to mishandling and half-baked writing. He needs to be written by someone who truly understands and loves the character.

He's our beloved Boyscoutt...a true gentleman and a very well liked character. No one comes nearer than the man himself....

Great post

I just like how he is often portrayed as just a normal guy with godlike powers and has to deal with moral problems (like in the New Krypton arc). I also like the mythology behind the character.

Superman is not only an inspiration in the comic book world, he's an inspiration to many even in the real world because he symbolizes the best in people. He is the purest, modern incarnation of the Hero archetype, of Humanity's highest ideals and noblest aspirations.

The beginning of the movie Supermanoomsday where Lex talks about Superman says it all.

So I'm profiling it.

No job is to big or to small for Supes.

Sums it up really.

That's the number one reason I like Supes, very down to earth, humble. He doesn't pose or make out like he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Also he strives to bring out the best in people even his villains, the only knock I have on Supes is that he doesn't take more of an active role in world political affairs like helping with government policy: law making, relief efforts for refugees etc. It was a criticism tangent Supes made that I agree with in part.

I don't. ermm

It's another matter that the character has suffered in recent years due to mishandling and half-baked writing. He needs to be written by someone who truly understands and loves the character. very true!!!

He embodies all of the qualities and traits that most of us wish we had, but are too flawed to exhibit.
All-Star Superman illustrated all of these traits perfectly. IMO.

One of the first memories I have involves me running around trying to be Superman. That's why I like him.

He was always there growing up, on the newstand, on TV in cartoons or in reruns of the old movie serials & series. And to be a young kid watching the first Christopher Reeve film onscreen in 1978; it cemented his messiah-like status in comics & much of pop culture. He's not my true favourite, but I respect his status.
Getting me young was the key; plus him being in media other than comics. It's also what got me into Captain Marvel, Spider Man & the Hulk in the 1970's.

At least that guy doesn't molest children.

Considering that the majority of child molesters were molested in turn as children, there's a high chance that Spider-man touches children.

Showing your grand-son pictures of women is perfectly legitimate and excellent fathering!

However... the look of repulse on Peter's face makes it 110% fact that he was, in fact, gay.

Could Mary Jane be a cover-up?

at last. some sense to the events of one more day...

Well, to play the devils advocate, I HATE HATE HATE Superman. There are FAR too many incarnations of him, Original Superman, Pre Crisis Superman, Sun Dipped Composite Superman, Superman, Blue, Superman One Million, Superman prime, Kismet Superman, etc, etc, etc. Why so many variations of JUST One character? Doesn't DC have enough imagination to create different characters.

I hate the fact that Superman can never lose, only uber cosmics should have that distinction. He can do no wrong, never makes a mistake, in otherwords.....boooooooooring.

I could go on and on as to why I don't like Superman but I'll just end my rant now.

Doesn't DC have enough imagination to create different characters. Considering Superman has been around for 70 years It would be a bit strange / boring if there was not so many incarnations. However there has only been maybe 4 or 5 different versions of mainstream Superman in that time.

He makes mistakes, is conflicted a lot of the time between whats right and wrong and where the line should be, they are a huge part of Superman comics.

The only "conflictions" of whats right and wrong in Superman comics is his own naivety. He has the same Luke Skywalker "there's potentially good n everyone!" syndrome that fails.

Thats not true, he's been tempted to kill and maim, but he didn't. He's also being tempted to become a god once, but he didn't.

I will, but the truth shall ring louder and louder.

Anyway, I like how Seinfield made that special with him and Clark, Hilarious.

I also like his relationship with characters, especially Lex.

Hi I'm back, anyone want to reply?

I like Supes because he's one of the first heroes I ever knew and, like #2, he has a whole lot of power and still doesn't play like a god. He's what man aspires to be.
