Superman is such a great hero. All star superman is one of the best comics I've ever read.
Also whatever happen to the man of tomorrow.
The animated movie of that Superman Grant Morrison story is so incredible too. Superman deserves more iconic stories.
Jay Garrick I didn't really like that one :c I think it would have been more poignant if I had read it when it was released
N7Normandy117: DAWN OF JUSTICE LEAGUE I can't get over the dodgy voice acting and his weird face in tho
Well he's kinda the father of superheroes ! Just saying...
Superman is and always has and will always be the granddaddy of all superheroes.
Yeah!!
Superman forever!!
There are hundreds of Superheroes in both Marvel and DC, but none can compare to the legendary Superman!
ChaosEruptor 35 actually DC has 10 million and marvel has 15 million
Ashutosh Prakash and 5 million of marvels 15 million is ripped off from dc
@Dakota Smith thats debatable
yeah it is,you can think quicksilver is cooler than flash while someone else thinks vice versa. Just because marvel made some movies doesnt mean the charachters are suddenly cooler. Look at batman then iron-man, green arrow and hawkeye, flash and quicksilver. mostly their personalities are very familiar. the only difference is dc is darker and serious while marvel is not
Saitama (aka One Punch Man): "Hold my cape"
I love Superman. I am a huge comic book fan, DC and Marvel alike, but Superman is #1 in my book.
Even after all these years. The Man of Steel has always, and always will be, one of my favorite superheroes!
same here
I love superman! He was my dad's favorite hero and I watched the movies (Christopher reeves) as a kid with him. May God rest his soul.
Joshua
Optimus prime Mets superman think about it
spiderman for me
I love superman. I feel that everyone hates him cause he is to popular and the superhero that started everything. That's why haters make up excuses saying he is to OP when he actually has many weaknesses unlike the hulk ect
actually he has verisons of himself that are very OP, ever heard of Pre-crisis Superman, he can pick up a planet full of kryptonite...
ssj3darkvegeta well that's another version of superman. What about hulk, sentry, beyonder
+John Clave It all started with Superman vs Goku
Super Man is a awesome superhero he's the reason why we have super heros today
4 years old but no
@@filo5240 prove it is not
khaixin sipa there’s heroes before him that would’ve inspired him
@@filo5240 Closest we have before Superman were the greek gods and they were barely on the right path
Superman was more then just a character. During world war II his comics were given to soldiers to keep up morale. Planes were painted with him on it for good luck. People actually believed in his ideals. If you read the superman biography about the rise of the character and the impact it has had on those times it is amazing how something like a comic character can influence our scociety.
The greatest Superhero of all time.

@Jesse Garay LMAO Bruh Superman's weakness is a green rock! While batman is literally the biggest Gary Stu in superhero comics! Batman's plot armor is more ridiculous than Superman's durability!
@@Yes_Fantasy_419 every hero has plot armor to some degree and you’re calling Batman a Gary Stu when he worked years to get his abilities and Superman just always had them so that’s a bit hypocritical
Spider-Man is the G.O.A.T
I hate it when Marvel fanboys say that Superman is OP along with the other DC heroes, when they have a giant green guy who gets stronger the angrier he gets, a guy with a magic hammer who barely loses in a fight, an overpowered copy of Darkseid, an overpowered copy of Deathstroke, a giant who consumes worlds, shall I go on.
Superman is OP as fuck doe
As a marvel fan, you are pretty damn right. I HATE Thanos because I hardly see the fucker lose in a one on one fight unless its some cosmic bitch. Darkseid > Thanos. Doesnt feel OP but op enough to give primary heros like Superman an epic fight.
ChipBoxingVids Supermans weakness if a green rock........
ChipBoxingVids Keep talking Marvel fanboy.
Superman would make Hulk his bitch
Batman & Superman are both the best superheroes ever created... Everything else is a copy of a copy of a copy... These two guys are the real thing.
Superman's is not my favorite, but I do have respect for what he symbolizes and Man of Steel was better than people give it credit for.
That was a really great presentation. It included all the cinematic Superman appearances. Much better than the original superhero origins.
Thanks watchmojo for the redux, this character changed my life, I look up to him to this day, he's the reason I'm the good man I am today, I grew up without a father in my life he's the closest thing I had to a father and a male role model, he inspired me to stand up for myself when I was bullied in school as a kid, Christopher Reeves brought him into my life when I was 2yrs old when the original movie came out in 1978, I've been a comic,video games, movies geek to this day because of him, he's the greatest hero of all time, my hero and I'm keep being inspired by him til the day I die, THANK YOU MAN OF STEEL FOR BEING A HERO IN MY LIFE

The Man who started it all. The father of all superheroes. Superman is THE Superhero.
Superman is the best superhero ever created , I hate when people say he's overrated or overpowered like stfu , (I'll be waiting for the trolls)
Francisco Peralta well he kinda was in Injustice when joker made him lose control and Superman turned evil.
I LOVE SUPERMAN. Thanks WatchMojo
So... Clark Kent (Kal-el) and Goku (Kakarot) were born in another planet, where each of their parents tried to prevent an apocalypse and no one listened, then their children were sent to another planet where they were adopted and teached to be good and finally years later they fought an enemy of their previous planet some of the same race (Zod and Broly) and others who were not very kind of their race (Brainiac and Frieza), no wonder why we wanted them to fight each other...
Fight beings based on their cells eg Bizarro and Cells, Metallo and Androids, Goku Black and Ultraman, Buu and Parasite.
To think Broly is more of Superman than Goku, Goku would be kind of like Zod minus he is good.
Superman is for me the best DC-Hero and the Superhero of all Time, because his Superpowers are awesome, he is very smart, he has defeatet the very hard villians and he protect everything thats on the good side.
Man I forgot how much I loved comics! This video made me go back and find all my old comics!
Consistently talks about which superheroes would beat Superman by blinking or thinking him out of existence.
Calls Superman 'overpowered'
Logic....
Even a skinny Superman still has powers, as you can see in The Flashpoint Paradox.
And he is one of a few superheroes who can lift the Mjolnir.
He is the most powerful superhero in comics universe.
So, who's gonna beat Superman?
Batman already has.
No he hasn't
Euan Guy
Im pretty sure there was a famous comic when he killed superman.
And there was this one time he killed the Justice League.
Treestar88 since when does batman kill?
Rod caraveo
I don't know.
He apparently killed the Justice League by accident though.
I think he also thought Superman was a threat. Im not sure, I have not read either comics.
everytime i read that superman is OP i believe that people forgot about dr.manhattan. no one complains about him and he is quite literally god.
No one complains about the presence.
steven plate There are a bunch of characters more powerful than Superman that people don't complain about for some reason. Maybe it's just popular to hate him now.
steven plate It's because Superman beat Goku in that Death Battle. Now everyone likes to hate on Supes. It's pretty ridiculous the disrespect a character with such an iconic, rich history gets by some people.
Martian man hunter and Mr mxyzptlk is OP
"Superman is too OP so he's boring"
-people who don't read Superman comics
Superman is the Best Super Hero Ever Made. He's simply Perfect.
Superman has always been my favorite super hero. The Flash..running second. I also never missed an episode of Smallville when it ran. That was a great series! Just my opinion.
-Insert random Superman hate comment because he beats down my favorite Superhero/Anime character
That's 80% of these comments in a nut shell by the time this video gets more views. You'll see "overpowered" a lot, but that's what they really mean.
NinjaLo The truth has been spoken.
Batman is still better
This is perhaps the most TRUE comment I have ever read in my entire life.
What does anime have to do with anything?
That's not what "random" means.
Everyone is saying that Superman is overpowered, just reading the comments, Batman is wayyyy over powered than Supes. Its sad, and ignorant to think that batman could beat superman. Idiots.
Finally ! Someone i agree with in this hateful comment section !
I still don't know why people think a regular human can take on a guy who can move a planet
Flash would destroy Superman tho
I remember when i told my dad that they were doing a Batman vs Superman movie
And his reaction was:"well,thats a stupid idea"
I starded laughing with him!😂😂
But he still wants to see the movie tho.
elitebelt not really. Flash is fast but he is not strong enough to take superman down even if he speed up. He will just go to other universities time line or multiverse.
best superhero
All I want to say here is thanks for including my favorite Easter Egg clip from the 1986 movie, as Clark is running home racing the passenger train next to him, and a small girl sitting next to her mother is watching him with binoculars. The girl is the young Lois Lane, and her mother is played by Noel Neill, who played Lois opposite George Reeves in the 50s.
Are you a fan of Superman?
Me: Raises hand
Superman: Nooo
Me: lowers hand
Superman is one of the greatest fictional heroes ever created,I can't believe he gets so much hate,I like Superman,I love Sun wukong the monkey king from the famous novel, but i dont like weird japanese,not really inspiring mix of those two heroes a.k.a Son Goku.Deal fuckin with it.Read ALL-Star Superman,Man who had everything,Red son,E.t.c to know that Supermans greatest power is his unbreakable spirit,down to earth personality which almost everyone can relate to.
Superman is alright, sure he's overpowering but he's still alright.
What bitch?
Deadpool Speak of the devil
GOKU BATTER THAN HIM
basheer rko Goku's awesome!
Superman's a decent character and the only DC Superhero I care and give a crap about. Personally, my comic book champion, or should I say "champions" are, The Fantastic 4.
Darn it, I was hoping watchmojo would use material from Superman:Birthright in this video. That is the definitive origin story for Superman.
Best superhero of all time.

Superman is the only true great hero. By this, I mean he's a better person. Superman didn't need trauma to influence his heroic nature. He simply is motivated by his own abilities. Superman is a testament to all people. If you have the power to help, it's your responsibility to do so. He doesn't need dead parents or any real motivation other than being able to help. That's a true hero.
Probably the most iconic super hero of all time.
not probably , easily
I've been a Superman fan for years an I didn't know a lot of this stuff.
I think I'm the biggest Superman fan there is.
I'll fight you for that title.
AdvancedLance K fam

Supervillain Origins: One Above All
I... actually enjoyed Man of Steel.
Fight me, internet.
Man of Steel was the best Superman movie.
No storyline
terrible plot
SO many coincidences
I enjoyed the fighting though.
scored 55% on rotten tomatoes.
I enjoyed it too. I really wish Superman would have gotten more movies with just him before the whole Dawn of Justice.
It was better than Superman II, III, IV, and Returns. And your avatar is awesome. :)
PC Master Race Rotten Tomatoes is hardly a medium that dictates what people can or cannot enjoy.
He's not just DC's Greatest Superhero,he is also The World's First Superhero.
LONG LIVE THE MAN OF STEEL!🦸
Anyone else notice the more popular a superhero gets the more op he gets superman, batman, hulk, thor, deadpool, wolverine ect,
I've been a fan of Superman since I was a young boy. I would watch the reruns of The Adventures of Superman starring George Reaves, every weekday at 4:00pm and the Superman Saturday morning cartoon. On my 7th birthday I received a Superman costume. It was the best gift I had ever received up to that point. I'm 67 years old and I still am a huge fan of the last son of Krypton. In my own humble opinion, Superman is the best.
His mother was named Lara El, as in LL, like Lois Lane, Lana Lang, Lori Lemaris, Lex Luth........hummmmmm...
Well in Red Son, the El family are all extremely distant descendants of Lex Luthor (that's where they got the name El from).
At the time having you first name & last name starting with the same letter was a trend (sort of) ... Marilynn Monroe is a great exemple of that. But yeah i thought the same, too much LL
Raj is that you?
Illuminati m8
yes, but most LL are love interests, except for Lex Luthor (or perhaps...)
I don't understand why people hate superman, he is one of my favorite heroes.
now if someone can make a GOOD superman video game i'll be happy.
Oh, how i wish that would happen too!
You didn't like superman 64?
I liked Justice League Heroes , better than nothing.
Wow you didn't even mention Tom Welling from Smallville he played Clark Kent for like 10 years
How to have a secret identity thats 100% guarantee in which no one will know who you are. Simply wear glasses, if you dont already. Anyways, Superman is still one of my fav heroes,
WE GET IT!!! YOU DON'T LIKE SUPERMAN!!!!! now go hug your batman blanket.
lol i did not know his first story was on one page XD good job once again!
My favorite is spiderman but how can you not love superman. Especially after smallville
Who else loved Man of Steel?
MEEEEEE
I do dude he is awesome.
I do He my favorite superhero
Me. I consider it one of my all time favorite films.
George Reeves: silly
Christopher Reeves: hero
Dean Cain: idiot
HENRY CAVIL: SUPERMAN
Chris was much closer than Cavill
My grandfather's a huge fan of both Batman and Superman.
He has got a new power last month.
superman is my favorite superhero
7:33. Are you a fan of superman?
Christopher Reeve crying: No
FINALLY, Another profile reboot! I like this....................................though, I think they might've missed an actor in the actor showcase part of this vid here..............................................
superman is my favourite hero along with batman abd spiderman. I don't see why people pit these 2 together instead of saying "they're both good". he inspires our hearts that you don't have to be as stoic as a vigilante to help people
You forgot Superman's new power Super Flare............
superherofan24 no it's confirmed to stay
What is super flare?
He can use all solar energy he has absorbed up to something similar as a bomb from within himself and destroys everything around him....and he loses all his powers until he has absorbed enough solar to recover his powers...which could take a few days I believe..
AHeroAlmost so like a rip off of the spirit bomb that Goku uses? C'mon DC you're better than that.
TheSlickkEffect it's nothing like spirit bomb
Over the years, Superman faced many villains in Metropolis. Including Lex Luthor, who became Superman's arch enemy. Superman has saved Metropolis from Lex Luthor, and other villains like General Zod, Brainiac, Bizzaro, Parasite, Matallo, and Doomsday.
Long overdue, these reduxes. As the WatchMojo origins vids have gotten slicker and more extensive in their content, it was a bit ridiculous that the ones for the big boys like Supes were only a minute and a half long. Cheers, WatchMojo, 'bout time.
Notice the number of re-tellings of Superman's origins. Because Superman himself has already become a myth.
I love Superman, he's my favorite DC superhero he is awesome
Best fictional hero ever!
They forgot to mention the blue sun, and how it gives him even more power.
Everyone should be a fan of Superman. :)
5:45 to 6:00
That was cool how they showed that in Man of Steel in 2013! U can't wait until next year to see Superman V Batman: Dawn of Justice next year! 😃
I was never a fan of Superman, until I watched Man of Steel.
4:38
Wha??
Me: Batman!! Come here!!!
Superman's Mom's name is MARY!! MARY NOT MARTHA!!
Batman: Now tell me, does he bleed??
Superman:is the first super hero of all time
GOAT!
YES! more of these!
Superman has that "I'm too overpowered to be interesting" thing going on.
I know why this video exsists .... but really ... it's Superman, who doesn't know Superman's origin at this point
Man of Steel was an amazing movie
Henry Cavill's version of Superman is the best because he brings a sense of depth and complexity to the iconic character. Cavill's portrayal captures the essence of Superman's struggle to balance his extraordinary powers with his humanity, making him a more relatable and compelling hero,
One of the reasons why Henry Cavill's Superman is so beloved is his physical embodiment of the character. Cavill's chiseled physique and commanding presence perfectly capture the strength and power of Superman, making him a truly formidable force for good. His dedication to the role is evident in his commitment to physical training and embodying the character in every aspect.
Cavill's performance as Superman is marked by a sense of emotional depth and vulnerability. He portrays Superman as a complex and conflicted character, grappling with the weight of his responsibilities and the moral dilemmas that come with his powers. This adds layers to the character and makes him more relatable to audiences, as they can see themselves in his struggles and triumphs.

Superman is the G.O.A.T.
Smallville needed recognition! Get it together WatchMojo!
Superman is the best superhero ever. Even though he was the first superhero invented by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in 1938. Superman will always be better than Batman. I can't wait for Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice I hope Superman will win Batman. Always the best superhero ever. I'm huge fan of Superman.
I will say superman is a great character being the first superhero and all but I hate the fact that the writers kept making more OP over the years, yes he wasn't meant to relate to other superheroes but it's the main reason why I prefer marvel more than dc
Not even better than harly quinn.. He's comics are so shit he can't even outsell harly Quinn lol.
Too bad, Warner Brothers short-selled them by providing a lump-sum money, in exchange for the rights to Superman. But on the good side, the Salkinds, along with director Richard Donner made Superman the movie in 1978.
I love WatchMojo.com this is much better than the original Superman Origin
Superman is my favorite overall
Ultimately, the story of Superman is about an alien who learns the value of humanity and goes forth to inspire
You guys should a top ten best about actors real reactions in scenes to other actors if you can please! That'd be awesome. And you guys rock :)
I always enjoy watching the Superman films plus I even feel like reading an comic book of the Man Of Steel.
I feel like I live in a world made of cardboard always taking constant care not to break something to break someone never allowing myself to lose control even for a moment or someone could die but you can take it can't you big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity to cut loose and show you just how powerful I really am
This was a great video, Mojo - thank you :D
I was expecting some background on his actual origins from his original American Jewish immigrants who sort of wrote an alter-ego of themselves, two nerdy, timid folk in America, who came from a far away country that was being "destroyed"...
Either way, thanks
Superman, the worlds second best super hero. SAITAMA
Superman is cool. Always liked that character. 1 Of DCs best...grimm
*Insert uneducated opinion explaining how superman is overpowered and boring*
- Typical Goku/Batman Fanboy.
