[Edit this paragraph] Superman in the Golden Age
Superman's distant universe, a planet named Krypton, scientist Jor-L sent his infant son Kal-L to a small spaceship flying to the earth before the planet exploded. The falling spaceship was discovered by John and Mary, and Carl -L was sent to an orphanage, but his super powers caused panic in the orphanage. He was named Clark and grew up under the care of the Kents. As he grew older, he gradually discovered his super powers, but he didn't know his true lineage. After the death of John and Mary, Clark strengthened his belief and used his ability to benefit mankind. He came to the metropolis, became a reporter for the Daily Star, and began his superhero career-Superman.
This is the original origin of Superman, but it was not fully introduced to readers until the second year after his birth. Superman appeared in a brand-new and almost perfect image that had never been seen before, and immediately conquered the American people. Everyone looks forward to and loves the soldier in the red cloak. Superman is so popular. After he was born in 38 years, a special issue of Superman named after himself was published in 39 years, which soon dominated action comics (the original action comics were comic books, and the cover was not necessarily Superman), followed by animation, radio and so on. Superman created the comic pattern and opened the curtain of an era.
Superman's story quickly expanded and matured. After louis laing, who appeared with Superman, Jimmy Olsen (photographer), lex luthor (with red hair at first), Perry White (editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet), Toy Man, Mr. Mxyztplk, Lana Lang (Superman's childhood girlfriend) and Krypto, a loyal and lovely super dog, all made their debut in this period.
In 1949 and 1954, DC subsequently released a series of new Superman cartoons, Superboy, Superman's partner Jimmy Olsen.
With the outbreak of the world war, Superman, who is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, also encourages and supports the people and the soldiers at the front. Although he didn't take part in the battle directly (he could solve the war immediately by his own ability), he couldn't end the war in cartoons while the soldiers in his country were still fighting bloody battles. Of course, after DC, he gave a reasonable explanation, but on the cover of the first issue, the undisguised picture showed everyone that he was fighting a German submarine. Destroy Japanese fighter planes and even hand Hitler and the Japanese emperor over to them like clowns ... He is not a cartoon character, but combines the spirit and soul of the United States.
[Edit this paragraph] Superman in the Silver Age
Superman's American cartoons were severely hit by Dr. Frederick Weitam and his work "cathesion of the Innocent", which was almost destroyed. The psychologist believes that the comic industry has caused many social and non-social undesirable phenomena such as the rising crime rate. He listed many comic "problems", even the abnormal accusations that Batman and Robin are gay. He is well versed in public psychology and attacks the comic industry from their "soft spot". He also got the support of Senator Kefauver of Tennessee, and promoted the establishment of CCA (Comic Code Authority) to censor comics, but his original intention was that comics could not be eliminated.
In this catastrophe in the comic industry, many comic companies have closed down one after another, and countless comic periodicals and characters have disappeared. However, Superman, who has never stopped publishing since he was born, still inspires and inspires people to continue his fight.
The last thing to save the comic industry is a superhero. DC repackaged and released its former hero "The Flash", which was a great success, which directly contributed to the beginning of the silver age of American comics and brought new hope to the long-lost characters and stories. Green Lantern and others are brand-new. Of course, DC needs its first hero, Superman, to appear in a brand-new image, so DC has established a system, a parallel universe. Each world is generally similar, but slightly different. In the flash of 123, barry allen, a brand-new flash, discovered Earth -2 (the world where heroes in the golden age lived), while the mainstream heroes at this time lived on Earth-1, that is to say, Superman Kal-L in the golden age lived on Earth -2. The mainstream Superman Kal-El is on the earth-1, which perfectly explains that Superman is a member of JSA (American Justice Association) (old Superman Kal-L) and JLA (American Justice League) (new Superman Kal-El). Therefore, DC can also continue the story of Superman's golden age without being influenced by Superman's main line. In order to distinguish two superhuman beings, the "S" mark on Kal-L's chest is smooth, and then his temples are gray and look older. Kal-El's "S" mark is as young as it is now.
1960, the origin of superman was confirmed again. Joel-El and Lala's son, whose real name is Karl-El, were born on Krypton. Joel-El discovered that Krypton was about to be destroyed, but his compatriots did not recognize him. Joel-El struggled to complete the spacecraft, but the disaster was beyond his expectation and the planet was doomed to destruction. The spaceship landed in smallville and was discovered by Jonathan and Martha. They named Carl Al Clark and raised him. Clark made a uniform with the help of his mother and began his heroic journey as Superboy. He had several adventures in smallville. Later, he joined the superhero corps. After his parents died, he went to metropolis and studied at the Metropolitan University. At this time, he started as a superman, and later graduated from journalism and joined the Daily Planet.
Kara Zor-L, the super girl, the cousin of the Earth-1 Superman, was also officially introduced into comics in 1959.
Superman's sworn enemies in the Silver Age added them, such as brainiac, bizzaro, metal (a robot that was transformed and wrapped in human skin but had a kryptonite heart) and parasites.
Louise, who once appeared in DC comic book exhibition, also released her own special issue "Superman's Girlfriend louis laing" and joined Superman's comic series.
[Edit this paragraph] Superman in the Bronze Age
During Superman's period, the changes for Superman are undoubtedly enormous. Just like Clark, after purchasing the Daily Planet, he became an announcer of TV news. As superman, kryptonite no longer poses any threat to him! Because of an accidental explosion in a kryptonite experiment, he also added a new opponent-Sand Superman. In addition to him, new enemies include Terra-man and the Galaxy Dummies created by lex luthor, and even Darkseid, the most difficult cosmic demon among Superman, who appeared quietly 70 years later.
Superman's story is still prosperous. The previously published Jimmy Olsen, Superman's Partner, was included in DC's new series Superman Family, and Super Girl started her first series of novels. DC also released a series of DC Comics Presents, each of which tells the story of Superman and another DC character.
The Bronze Age also brought two surprises to the comic industry and comic fans. First, two comic book companies, DC and Marvel Comics, established their own League of Legends, and * * * jointly launched Superman VS Magic Spider-Man, which became a classic, laying a good foundation for future cooperation between the two companies. Secondly, Superman and Louise of Earth -2 ended their long-distance love run and finally entered the marriage hall!
[Edit this paragraph] Modern Superman
Super Human Crisis on Infinite Earth (Infinite Earth Crisis)
Since the advent of Parallel Universe, DC has created one world after another for itself and other comic book companies it has acquired. Finally, it drowned itself in the vast universe, not to mention readers, even editors and insiders. Countless stories, clues, characters, and even finding someone to sort them out failed, and DC finally launched the ultimate plan.
The 85-year crisis on the infinite earth is to obliterate the parallel universe, and all heroes unite to prevent the anti-display from annexing the parallel universe. Before this, the anti-monitor has destroyed several universes, leaving five worlds, namely Earth-1, 2, 4, X and S, but eventually merged into one. In this tragic decisive battle, all the heroes of the parallel world died in the battlefield, leaving only the mainstream of everyone. Only Superman Karl -L and Lois of Earth II, Superboy of Earth I and Alexander Luthor of Earth III escaped and were preserved. Through Alexander Luthor, they entered a space called heaven together, avoiding the mainstream world and paying attention to it in another space.
Goodbye, Superman.
After Superman experienced the crisis of infinite earth, DC changed Superman completely. They completely erased the superman created in the silver age. In The Encounter of Tomorrow's People, Superman said goodbye to us.
The story begins with Lois' interview with the Daily Planet. By this time, she had married another man named Jordan and had a baby of about 2 years old-Jonathan. Apparently, she doesn't work in the daily planet anymore. Through Lois's recollection and narration, she showed the reader the last experience of Superman. After returning to Earth from space, he found that bizzaro was destroying the city, and then bizzaro committed suicide with his own eccentric logic. Later, in the studio, Clark received a package sent to him, several little toy superman. They attacked Clark in front of everyone, forcing him to reveal Superman's true identity and bringing him the body of Superman's friend Peter Ross. Angry Superman destroys the nests of manipulators, pranksters and toy men.
Superman's identity is well known. At Peter Ross's funeral, with the death of his best friend and the disclosure of his identity, Superman also expressed his constant worries and worries about the safety of people around him.
In the world of ice and snow, lex luthor, who trudged alone and longed for the advanced technology of brainiac, finally dug up the remains of his brain in the snow, but was controlled by brainiac into a puppet. ...
The Daily Planet was attacked, and superman who subdued the riot sent Perry White, Jimmy Olsen, louis laing and Lana Lang to his fortress in time. Not long after, Lex, controlled by brainiac, arrived in metropolis with Kryptonian by spaceship.
Late at night, the 30th century superhero corps and superwoman opened dimension door, visited Superman in the fortress and gave him a statue of themselves (which later became an important revelation in the decisive battle). The next day, Superman burned the huge golden key at the entrance of the fortress with his thermal vision. At the same time, the following Brainiac and his party met the future super villain army and jointly launched an attack on Superman. However, the justice league that helped him was blocked by the enchantment and was helpless. Superman's defense line gradually collapsed, and Jimmy Olsen and Lana Lang bravely went out to fight evil for Superman. Both of them died in the super villain army. The fortress was finally broken by kryptonians, but he died under the clutches of the super dog kryptonians, and the kryptonians were also killed; Superman in chaos takes Louise to meet the super villain corps. Lana's death makes him furious and forces them to flee to the future. Finally, Lex, controlled by brainiac, stood in front of Superman, but Lex's body was exhausted, and he fell down, posing no threat to Superman. The brainiac brain that lost its host was also destroyed. After careful consideration, Superman suddenly realized that the mastermind behind all this was the unscrupulous Mxyzptlk. In the decisive battle with him, Superman killed him with magic, and it was all over. But in the end, Superman entered the door with golden kryptonite. .............
The whole book is filled with an atmosphere of doom and gloom. For the first time, readers regard helplessness and panic as superman. At the end of the interview, Louise was asked if Superman would still live somewhere in the world, and she firmly denied it. The reader's heart sank to the bottom again.
Turning to the last page, after the reporter left, little Jonathan sat on the ground and played with what he was holding, a piece of coal. Just as Louise and Jordan turned and walked into the bedroom, we suddenly saw coal turn into diamonds! At the last minute, when Jordan was about to close the door, he cunningly said to us, "What do you think?"
How do you think?
At this point, an era is over, and next, a new chapter will be opened.
Superman reborn
1986, the painter and writer John Byrne published six short stories-Superman: The Man of Steel, which redefined Superman and introduced him to readers. The basic situation in the story has been preserved. Because of the destruction of Krypton, Kal-El was sent to Earth, and was later discovered by Jonathan and Martha in Smallville. The childless middle-aged couple adopted Kal-El as Clark, raised him and told him the secret of his birth when his ability became more and more obvious. In this brand-new version, Clark's ability is gradually discovered with his growth, and like his previous experience as Superboy, this setting has been erased; Another important change, Jonathan and Martha have been living quietly, which is no longer the death before Clark came to the metropolis in the last edition. This setting has also brought more human love and warmth. Undoubtedly, the biggest change is Superman's ability. He has been greatly weakened, no matter in strength or speed, he can no longer travel through time and space. Lex Luthor, a once crazy and evil scientist, has become a businessman with high IQ and strong financial resources. His transformation was quite successful. In the next few years until now, he can be said to be Superman's most difficult and dangerous enemy.
The death of superman trilogy
Superman, this story happened in 1993, and it is still the strongest in the comic book industry. In fact, DC let Superman "die" a long time ago, but those are illusory stories. It's hard to kill his first hero. Later, even the editor was not sure what would happen after determining this story line. Superman was integrated into the country and people decades ago.
It doesn't seem like a good idea to kill Superman with existing characters. What DC wants to present to readers is a brand-new feeling and excitement of real knives and guns. Doomsday, this monster was born for this. When it rushed out of the ground and killed and destroyed along the way, it completely destroyed the Justice League. After that, we saw this monster with an unusually strong and fierce exoskeleton, and what we felt was really fear. It is as strong as Superman, even stronger than him. Exoskeleton can easily cut Superman's body and do our best to protect Superman in the city. The fighting between them was extremely fierce. Finally, with a loud noise, the two sides gave each other a fatal blow, and Superman died in Louise's arms (at this time Louise knew the true identity of Superman).
Superman's death caused great waves and caused a sensation throughout the country! All the media are reporting and paying attention to this matter, which broke the hearts of countless people ... and later held a state funeral for him.
Superman's funeral in the comic book is equally grand. All members of the Justice League and countless people came to see him off and build statues. Later, Superboy, exterminator, Cyberfort and Steel appeared, all claiming to be the successors of Superman, but Cyberfort's ambition was soon exposed, and the coastal city of hal jordan, the hometown of Green Lantern, was also destroyed. After the resurrection, Superman has no energy, wears a pure black uniform and has a huge silver "S" printed on his chest. Together with Superboy, exterminator, Super Girl (Matrix), Steel and hal jordan, the Green Lantern, he stopped Cyberberg's ambition to destroy the world, and evil was invincible. Cyberfort was defeated, and Superman finally came back to us.
Zero time (zero time)
Due to the destruction of coastal cities, hal jordan, the greatest green lantern in history, went crazy, and later seized power and degenerated into a parallax monster, which caused the second restart of DC. However, this time, unlike the first time, the scale is very small, and some time issues and settings have been revised, which is a supplement.
Superman Wedding and Superman Blue (Red)
In fact, Clark and Louise should have got married long before Superman died, but the intrusion of doomsday delayed all this. Finally, 1996, they tied the knot in Superman: Wedding Album!
In the late 1990s, the image of Superman caused great controversy. Instead of wearing the traditional red, yellow and blue uniform, he changed into a special blue and white electric uniform, and the "S" on his chest was as sharp as lightning. At this time, he becomes a pure energy body, which can pass through solids or sense energy frequencies. Moreover, he needed to be recharged, and later he even split in two, with the same appearance, just one blue and one red. They are called Superman Blue and Superman Red. These new changes have not been widely recognized, and people even think that this is not Superman. Finally, he returned to normal.
Infinite crisis (infinite crisis)
Superman DC was restarted for the third time. After the first restart of the crisis, Superman Kal-L of Earth -2, Superboy of Earth -prime and Alexander Luthor of Earth -3 in heaven saw the "depravity" and "suffering" of the world they had given up. At the same time, in order to save Louise, Alexander told Superman of Earth -2 that he should clear the corrupt earth-1 and rebuild the earth-. Superman Earth -2 accepted his statement, broke the barrier of time and space and came to Earth-1. Superman Earth II found Batman but was rejected. At the same time, Alexander used the body of the anti-monitor to build a tower of time and space in the fortress of loneliness, while Prime Minister Superboy attacked Superboy, who was still in Kansas. Teen titans sent all his troops to stop him, and Prime Minister Superboy killed him. At the critical moment, several generations of Flash joined forces to push him to the limit speed.
Alexander severely damaged the empty Earth -2 and sent Superman and Lois from Earth -2. Louise reappeared for a while and then died. The angry Superman Earth 2 struggled with the superman who arrived until wonder woman stopped them. Kal-l finally realized that Alexander's real purpose was to restore the parallel universe, which would lead to hundreds of millions of deaths, including two superman Kal-L and Kal-L.
After fleeing, Premier Superboy fought side by side with Superboy and others. Superboy destroyed the time tower and died in the explosion. Superboy -prime embarked on the road of triggering BIGBANG and restarting history. He was stopped by the green army and two superman. Kal-L and Kal-El grabbed him across the Red Sun and fought a decisive battle with three incapacitated people. Carl-El, the superman of Earth 2, was seriously injured by Superboy Optimus Prime in the battle, and Carl-El defeated him. Finally, Kal-L died in the arms of his cousin Powergirl who came with the Green Light Army.
Heroes on the earth also won the final victory, and Alexander died in the escape at the hands of clowns and Lex. Although his plan failed, the parallel universe reappeared, and now there are 52 worlds in * * *.
A year later.
Superman lost his ability after the crisis. During this period, the important task of defending the metropolis fell on Super Girl. This year, Clark no longer served as Superman, but gained more significance in life and did more responsibilities for his family and career. Without superpowers, he hit lex luthor hard with the pen in the reporter's hand. Finally, his strength returned to his body.
Now, he is still fighting for truth and justice.
[Edit this paragraph] Superman's strength comparison in different periods
Golden period
Superman was not so powerful when he appeared, until his ability became more and more perfect.
Strength: Superman lifted the car above his head for the first time, and can push mountains or ocean-going ships in subsequent development.
Speed: At first, he was just a faster train than Mercedes-Benz. Later, he surpassed the speed of light and even broke the wall of time.
Body: Being unscathed in the atomic bomb explosion is the best explanation for this period.
Flying: I couldn't fly at first, but later I could soar in the sky.
Breathing: You can hold your breath for a few hours at first, and then you can even travel in space because you don't even have to breathe.
Vision: perspective, microcosmic and farsighted.
Baiyin age
Superman's most powerful period, if there is no kryptonite, then it is completely invincible, and it also determines the source of power-the earth's sun. What I want to say is that the later Superboy-Prime was established on the basis of Superman in this period, so in the infinite crisis, he easily defeated many DC heroes such as Superboy.
Power: Can move the planet.
Speed: Exceeding the speed of light can break the wall of time.
Body: It won't hurt to fly to the innermost part of the sun.
Flying: Or whatever you want.
Breathing: it can create hurricanes, change the weather and even blow out the stars; Freeze your breath (freeze your opponent)
Vision: perspective, microscopic, telescopic (can see through the universe), thermal vision (high temperature rays from both eyes).
Listen: You can listen to any kind of music anywhere.
Recovery: the damage can be recovered quickly.
Mind: After speaking or reading a certain language or knowledge, he can master it in just a few seconds. He learned everything about the earth and even 28 galaxies.
Super hypnosis and ventriloquism: mostly help him hide his identity; Ventriloquism enables him to talk with people from other continents.
Modern Times
After Crisis on the Infinite Earth, his ability was greatly weakened, and his super brain, hypnosis and ventriloquism were all cancelled.
Strength: Although the planet can no longer be pushed, it is still very strong (the range of change spans a lot).
Speed: Can't exceed the speed of light (the range of change is very wide).
Body: It can withstand nuclear explosion, but it will be seriously injured (with a wide range of changes).
Flight: I have made a reservation.
Breathing: The main performance is that it is impossible without oxygen now. The strength has been weakened. Freeze respiratory retention.
Vision: perspective, microscopic (molecular level), telescopic (no longer able to see through the universe), thermal vision (distance and strength decrease, and he feels different with different occasions or moods).
Listen: it's far away, but it has a range and can't capture any kind of sound.
Recovery: Decreased speed and ability.
Mind: the most controversial, but not as exaggerated as before.
Generally speaking, the strength of Superman's present ability will be reflected differently by different writers, but it is basically within the above general range.
[Edit this paragraph] A major event in the history of Superman comics
Please refer to the entry of Superman Comics.
[Edit this paragraph] Riding stunt
The national title is "Superman". The driver leaves the car with his legs suspended, and straightens his body and legs as far as possible after the car. Because he is very similar to the "superman" with his hands flying in the air in American animation, he won this title.
