Superman - The Original Superhero.
The Man of Steel is the first truly successful comic book character, ever since his first appearance in "Action Comics" in 1938. Superman has been covered in just every area of the entertainment industry, not least in the medium of cinema. For me, Christopher Reeve remains the definitive Superman/Clark Kent.
