"I'm here to fight for truth, and justice, and the American way."

Superman is seen as one of the most powerful superheroes, possessing many powers such as flight, super-speed and super-strength, x-ray vision and heat vision.

After being sent to earth from Krypton and raised as Clark Kent, Superman has gone on to be one of the defining comic book heroes and helped set the superhero genre deep into American culture. There have been five Superman films; the most recent was 'Superman Returns' in 2006 and rumours of a sequel set for 2011.
