Last week marked 75 years since Superman debuted in Action Comics #1. I just wanted to talk a little about what Superman means to me.
I can't remember exactly how old I was when I first saw Superman: The Movie but like most kids I loved the wish fulfillment that Superman granted viewers. As a kid you wish you were strong and brave and could handle anything.
Well Superman really can and he wanted to help and save people. He also had a part of him that was awkward and clumsy that had to wear glasses. As a kid that also wore glasses, Superman became my favorite superhero.
I also have to admit, I loved the costume and it's the reason that my favorite color is red.
Through all the years and the many different actors that have portrayed Superman, the one constant that I love is that Superman is someone who is constantly trying to fit in eventhough he never really can. He builds his own family and his own life on his own terms.
Superman is my favorite Superhero and he always will be. Thanks Superman for all of the great memories.
THE PROFESSOR
