It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's... Cardboard-Cutout Man!

Superman! The original Superhero, so ubiquitous that people forget his origins. I don't mean his origin story, I mean his creation and first appearance in the first ever volume of Action Comics.

I was never a fan of Superman. This guy is too strong, seriously the only thing that can hurt him is kyptonite. I guess thats why i like Doomsdayso much. He is the only one who is a real threat to superman.

It's often forgotten that Superman could not fly in those early issues and that he was not the über-powerful … more
