SHORT DESCRIPTION=
Superman is born Kal-El on the alien planet Krypton, before being rocketed to Earth as an infant by his scientist father moments before the planet's destruction. Adopted and raised by a Kansas farmer and his wife, the child is raised as Clark Kent, and imbued with a strong moral compass. Upon reaching maturity the character develops superhuman abilities, resolving to use these for the benefit of humanity.


POWERS or ABILITIES=
Superman's cellular structure is more dense, resilient and biologically more effective than human tissue. Without constant exposure to solar energy, his strength seems on par for a human of his height and weight who engages in regular physical activity. He does possess several organs whose functions are not yet disclosed or understood but are believed to be part of, and perhaps even the source of, his biomatrix force field and reclamation aura. The catalog of powers in his possession is vast. He can defy gravity, move at great superhuman speed, has superhuman reaction time and reflexes, possesses vast super strength, is nearly totally invulnerable, possesses numerous superhuman senses, and also has powerful energy projection capabilities. Superman's body also stores energy actively within his bio-cellular matrix as an energy pattern that is linked to his body's electromagnetic field. These energy powers manifest themselves primarily as Superman's electromagnetic capabilities such as flight, X-ray and heat vision. His powers include:

The Power of Flight: As depicted in Superman Returns, this ability allows him to maneuver precisely in any direction as well as hover.

He is practically indestructible, he can fly through a star and shrug off a nuclear blast,capable of withstanding artillery shells, and lasers. Even withstanding Darkseid's Omega Effect, a feat that was previously considered impossible. In addition, his advanced immune system protects him from virtually all toxins and diseases.The most common explanations for Superman's invulnerability are him having a super-dense molecular structure and/or a supercharged bioelectric "aura" which acts as an invisible "force field" around his body just a few millimeters above his skin, and, presumably, within his body as well. The proximity of this field to his skin means that loose clothes, for example, may be burned off of him, while cloth that is close to his body is protected by the "aura;" This phenomenon is sometimes cited as Superman's reason for wearing a skin-tight bodysuit. It is sometimes implied that he can unconsciously extend this field to an undetermined extent to protect a greater area, allowing him to carry huge objects within the Earth's atmosphere and without gravity or inertia tearing them apart.

Ability to maintain continuous strenuous physical action for an unlimited time period.

Theoretically, Superman has unlimited stamina, due to his nourishment coming from the solar energy his cells process; he does, however, have the physiological need to eat and drink just as humans do, though he receives the majority of his energy from the Sun. He can also hold his breath for an undefined duration.

The ability to see through anything except lead. He can see things behind a wall as if the wall were not there, or can "peel back" layer after layer of matter in his mind.

The ability to "zoom in" his vision to see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics. The total telescopic ability is unprecedented, but limited to some extent.

The ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the atomic level (normal optical microscopes can only see objects down to the size of chromosomes).

The ability to fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it with the conscious act of activating this power. Visually, the power is typically depicted as two beams of red light firing from his eyes, leading to it sometimes being mistaken for laser beams. These beams can be made invisible, allowing Superman to work undetected.

Besides Superman's more famous visual abilities, he can also see the entire electromagnetic spectrum, including infrared and ultraviolet, allowing him to see in the dark. He can see and identify radio/television and any and all broadcast/transmitted frequencies, allowing him to avoid detection through radar or satellite monitoring methods.

The ability to hear any sound at any volume or pitch, even over vast distances. He has shown enough control to block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source/frequency. Superman is able to block out all other sounds and focus on one particular noise. (heart beat, breathing etc) This also suggests he can tell the difference between individual heart beats and breathing.

Superman is a master ventriloquist; he used this once to rescue Lois from criminals. He is also a brilliant mimic, able to impersonate human voices or animal sounds.

The ability to create hurricane force winds by blowing, and to chill his breath in order to freeze a target (this latter ability has also been called "freeze breath" and "arctic breath"). Superman can also breathe in large amounts of air, an ability used when dealing with and disposing things like clouds of poison gas.

The ability to move at an incredible speed, like the Flash. This includes running, but flying is less strenuous and more versatile.His top speed is difficult to determine, but it approaches the speed of light. Superman has been shown to fly to the sun and back in less than 20 minutes (it takes light 8 minutes to travel from the sun to the earth. Superman also possesses superhuman reflexes and the ability to move at incredible speeds by sheer force of will. He can also perform complex actions like assembling objects at hundreds of times faster than a normal human.

Superman possesses extremely high levels of superhuman strength, the exact limits of which aren't known. Able to shift a planet from its orbit as seen in one Action Comics story teaming with the Flash. Superman can possess enough strength to move an entire planet upon attaining enough solar energy from Earth's yellow sun.

VILLAINS=

Lex Luthor, Mr. Mxyzptlk, Doomsday, Darkseid, Bizarro, Metallo, General Zod (and other Kryptonians imprisoned in the Phantom Zone), Parasite, the Prankster, Terra-Man, the Toyman, Gog, Atomic Skull, Brainiac, Conduit, Cyborg Superman, Imperiex, Intergang: A nationwide organized crime syndicate armed with weapons supplied in part by Darkseid. Led by Bruno "Ugly" Mannheim, Kalibak, Lobo, Solomon Grundy, and Mongul.

WHY IT"S HARD TO BE HIM=

It's hard to be someone like Superman mostly because he's practically the last of his kind. The only others are clones of him or Kryptonian animals and plants. Many times in his life he deals with the fact that he's alone in this universe. It's the same for anyone that's an orphan(though Superman is in fact not an orphan because he was adopted by John and Martha Kent but there are not many humans that are the last race of their kind) or even sometimes an only child. Reminding him of this and making fun of him because he's the last of his kind could end in death or serious injury.

Another thing is that unlike most human superheros like Batman, Superman has weaknesses to certain things. For example Kryptonite is most likely his greatest weakness. It slowly takes his powers(Green Kryptonite) and then starts to kill him. Or it makes him weak and then starts to kill him. His other weakness is magic. Against someone with magic on their side there's a good chance they are going to win.

Another thing that's also kinda comedic is that he works for the Daily Planet, a news paper company in Metropolis(Superman's home) that makes most of their money on reporting on Superman. For example Lois Lane(the person Superman likes and later marys), Jimmy Olsen(a photographer that's friends with Superman) and Clark will be hanging out in the office when a super villain like Bizzaro attacks the city. While Lois says "we better get down there," as she's looking at a news report on t.v. showing Bizzaro Clark Kent will slip away to change into his Superman costume leaving Lois and Jimmy looking around trying to figure out how he does that and the he's probably just getting on the story before them. So you can probably tell how it's kinda funny.
