Superman is a fictional superhero created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster. The character first appeared in Action Comics #1, published by DC Comics in 1938.

writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster.

The story of Superman's creation is an interesting one. Siegel and Shuster were both teenagers living in Cleveland, Ohio, when they first came up with the character. They were avid fans of science fiction and pulp magazines, and had long dreamed of creating a superhero of their own.

The idea for Superman began to take shape in the mid-1930s. Siegel wrote a short story called "The Reign of the Superman," which featured a villain with telepathic powers. However, he and Shuster soon decided that they wanted to create a hero instead, and began working on a new concept.

The early versions of Superman were very different from the character we know today. He was originally envisioned as a bald, telepathic villain who used his powers to control the world. However, as Siegel and Shuster continued to develop the character, they began to refine his look and personality.

In 1938, they finally pitched the idea of Superman to DC Comics, who agreed to publish the character in a new comic book series. The first issue of Action Comics, featuring Superman's debut, sold out almost immediately, and the character quickly became a sensation.

Over the years, Superman has undergone many changes and adaptations, appearing in comic books, television shows, movies, and more. However, his origin story has remained a key part of his mythology, and his creation by two young, aspiring writers from Cleveland continues to inspire fans around the world.
