April 29, 2013: Ten Reasons Why Superman is the Greatest Superhero

Superman In an interesting and well-written article at eMag, columnist Sarah Myles gives her Top 10 Reasons why Superman is the Greatest Superhero of All Time.

    With so many Superhero characters across multiple comic-book universes, as well as in television and film, there is always great debate over the virtues of each. Everybody has their favourite. A few can be described as 'iconic'. But the term 'greatest' can be reserved for only one.

    Originally conceived by Jerome "Jerry" Siegel and Joe Shuster as a telepathic, bald villain planning world domination, the initial incarnation of "The Superman" in 1933 was not popular. In 1934, the co-creators changed their vision to a version closer to the one now beloved by millions, but it was not until June 1938 that Superman appeared as the cover feature of Action Comics, published by National Allied Publications (eventually to become DC Comics). Over the next 75 years, Superman permeated social consciousness to become the most iconic Superhero of all.

    But is he really the greatest? It all boils down to basic facts. Here are ten reasons why Superman is The Greatest Superhero Of All Time.
