Superman’s Origins
Am I the only one that didn’t know that Superman was created by a 17 year old canadian?
According to the novelist Mordecai Richler, Shuster’s Superman is a perfect expression of the Canadian psyche. The mighty “man of steel” hides his extraordinary strength, speed, and superhuman powers under the bland, self-effacing guise of the weak and clumsy Clark Kent. He is a hero who does not take any credit for his own heroism, a glamorous figure in cape and tights who is content to live his daily life in horn-rimmed glasses and brown suits. -History by the Minute
Hehe, who woulda thought?
