you can't say he is the best by any measuring stick. in fact he's pretty boring. he is however, the father of modern comic characters. there can be no best super hero.
I remember back when I was around 3-4 years old, I loved watching the Fleischer Superman cartoons. It helped me enjoy and appreciate the hero. But back then I didn't get to watch much of his Animated Series episodes, so my love for Superman was overshadowed by both Batman and Spider-Man, with Spider-Man being my favorite superhero for the longest time. It wasn't until 2005-06 when Superman Returns was being hyped, and to learn more about Superman, I started watching his animated series from the 90's a lot more, as well as Justice League and JLU. But eventually it was around that point when I started reading the comics, specifically Superman Birthright, Man of Steel by John Byrne, Superman Peace on Earth, as well as a few Bronze Age Superman comics. And that was when Superman became my favorite superhero of all time, right next to Batman and Spider-Man.
reasons to like superman reason 1: he's sexy reason 2: he's smart reason 3: he's a nice dude reason 4: he's knows when to be a badass reason 5: he's the only guy to do a perfect impression of batman reason 6: he stopped a sad girl from committing suicide reason 7: superman is always there for you
I actually found the original 1938 version of Superman a lot more easier to comprehend scientifically than the modern one. He was simple. His powers simply came from the fact that Krypton was so much larger than earth. Granted, in order to have the power he has, Krypton would have to be ginormous, but the lesser gravity on Earth made a lot more sense than all the "yellow sun" stuff.
Superman has been known to pull through his vulnerabilities with his super will, so Kryptonite and the Red Sun can be a no go, and magic was presented to be inefective in "Superman vs The Elite".
Magic wasn't really ineffective since Supes has no special defense against it. But he isn't exactly weak to it like Kryptonite. If I'm not mistaken, the magic guy in Superman vs The Elite said he was the only one who could take down Superman or something. But yeah, he can overcome his weaknesses through sheer will alone. Power of comic book heroes or something.

And the fact that he has a cousin named Kara and has the same powers as he but she is 18 years older i think... Seen it in smallville. Just finished that series today oh man what a show
Superman is the best superhero and greatest of all. He have speed durability, extra sensory vision including X-Ray vision ,super speed,laser and the most important superpowers He's SUPERMAN 😈😈
The phrases “it’s a bird, it’s a plane”, “up, up, and away”, “this is a job for Superman” and others also come from the radio show. A way to indicate him arriving or taking flight through audio

really? thats a cool fact, it always confused me why he was crashing a car in the cover of his first appearance in action comics, i guess that explains it XD
@5:57: This becomes a category of TV tropes since several characters in popular media like anime, cartoons, etc. wearing glasses for disguise. Some examples are Jessie from the long running Pokemon series wears glasses as disguise to participate in contests and Madoka Kyouno from the now defunct Lagrange: The Flower of Rin-ne wears glasses as well to go in space with her friends Lan and Muginami.
on another channel's top 10 Superman facts list I watched they said that the the boy who played Kal-el when he first arrived on earth in the '78 movie was one of the soldiers in Man of Steel, not that he died when he was a teenager.
I'm surprised that none of Superman's situational superpowers were listed like super-weaving, super-ventriloquism, super-landscaping, super-makeup, super-hypnosis, super-friction, super-bean counting and the ability to launch tiny Supermans from his palms.
he also apparently vibrates slightly so that photos would not get a clean shot and enable comparison to Clark, guess that may apply to personal encounters to.
Honestly that number one feels like the result of people not believing comics could really go beyond kids stuff at the time. Hell, most people still don't look on animation with much respect.
Those aren't even close to his only weaknesses. Just about anything can hurt him as long as it is strong enough. He's not invulnerable to everything except Kryptonite and magic, he feels pain and gets injured from strong blows just like anyone else, he just has his own endurance amped up to unbelievable extents.
My favorite fact from both Superman and FFVII fans. George Newbern and Tyler Hoechlin plays both Superman and Sephiroth. All I can say is there’s one best Sephiroth for Newbern and best Superman for Hoechlin.
You have to remember at the time this comic book first came out the publisher owned the character. The actual creator/s owned nothing. Hell in some ways it's still like that now.
About baby Superman dying due to the Superman Curse, the baby you are showing is played by Aaron Smolinski, who are very much alive to this day, and are playing in the upcoming movie "Astronomy Walkers". The baby who died as a teenager, Lee Quigley, played the newborn Kal-El on Krypton and in the first half of his journey to Earth.
Greatest superhero of all time. Love the big blue boyscout.
you can't say he is the best by any measuring stick. in fact he's pretty boring. he is however, the father of modern comic characters. there can be no best super hero.
He's just the flavor of the month. He's basically R rated Spiderman crossed with wolverine.
John Rife do you know what an opinion is
Batman: hold my kryptonite
Shazam?
A lot of people don't like superman, he's still my favorite superhero of all time, marvel or DC.
James Wise Magic Mine too
I agreed without him there's no superheroes, Superman will always have an place in our hearts.
The movies ruined him
@Dakota Smith They were?
@Dakota Smith Like what superheroes?

Superman = Best superhero period
Thank You
Agreed!
You're everywhere.
He's trash
***** My thoughts exactly
RIP Christopher Reeves the best Superman.
Second best about to be 3rd
reasons to like superman
reason 1: he's sexy
reason 2: he's smart
reason 3: he's a nice dude
reason 4: he's knows when to be a badass
reason 5: he's the only guy to do a perfect impression of batman
reason 6: he stopped a sad girl from committing suicide
reason 7: superman is always there for you
actually no the girl wasn't committing suicide she was terminally ill and she did die
Just to be clear. The actor who played the infant Kal-El, that Brando puts in the ship, died, and not the toddler who lifted up the Kent's truck.
I actually found the original 1938 version of Superman a lot more easier to comprehend scientifically than the modern one. He was simple. His powers simply came from the fact that Krypton was so much larger than earth. Granted, in order to have the power he has, Krypton would have to be ginormous, but the lesser gravity on Earth made a lot more sense than all the "yellow sun" stuff.
It's both the lesser gravity and the yellow sun radiation.
In 1938 130 Dollars was Worth $2,135.29 in 2016.....geeezzz still not worth it
Number 11: Superman is the best superhero.
Superman has been known to pull through his vulnerabilities with his super will, so Kryptonite and the Red Sun can be a no go, and magic was presented to be inefective in "Superman vs The Elite".
he has the ultimate power... Plot Armor
Magic wasn't really ineffective since Supes has no special defense against it. But he isn't exactly weak to it like Kryptonite. If I'm not mistaken, the magic guy in Superman vs The Elite said he was the only one who could take down Superman or something.
But yeah, he can overcome his weaknesses through sheer will alone. Power of comic book heroes or something.
Superman is humble and kind! Reason why I love him the most

really? thats a cool fact, it always confused me why he was crashing a car in the cover of his first appearance in action comics, i guess that explains it XD
+Squall Leonhart yea not many people know that
they say confession is good for the soul (reaches in the burglars bag pulls out some jewels) I'd listen to this man (returns jewels)

Number One fact - Clark Kent had never been mistaken for Woody Allen! FACT

superman is the best
Saw the movie yesterday. I loved it.
Superman is Awesome, most of his movies a great, specially now.
I actually saw some of the 1940's Superman cartoon show. Oh man I liked it so much when I was a kid. I think I still have some of the VHS of it.
I've just watched the movie last night Great work!
Also should've added that he beat Goku too 😕
+Krixus Le Deoux It isn't canon
+Quit take note that that was bait and it was a joke
Canon or not is irrelevant atm
@@meatjuice9081 Goku still loses unless he goes UI there's no chance

He fought spiderman too
Superman is the best superhero.
Did u know Clark and lex use to be best friend
True...........not only Smallville.
I saw it yesterday and it's officially the best DC movie ever in my opinion!
I randomly found superman short clips just before this video came out. What a coincidence.....Or......Is it?
Much more improved than
the avengers fact
30lbs of muscle in a few months? Soooooooo Superman isn't natty

Really cool vid but you should have talk about supermans strength
Superman
U should make a top 10 most anticipated movies video
+Banana They have done it
Honestly that number one feels like the result of people not believing comics could really go beyond kids stuff at the time. Hell, most people still don't look on animation with much respect.
That was Super, man!
Can u do more superman vids please
to be fair any show or movie will have the actors playing the roles die at some point. not like the actors are immortal.
Those aren't even close to his only weaknesses. Just about anything can hurt him as long as it is strong enough. He's not invulnerable to everything except Kryptonite and magic, he feels pain and gets injured from strong blows just like anyone else, he just has his own endurance amped up to unbelievable extents.
My favorite fact from both Superman and FFVII fans. George Newbern and Tyler Hoechlin plays both Superman and Sephiroth. All I can say is there’s one best Sephiroth for Newbern and best Superman for Hoechlin.
You have to remember at the time this comic book first came out the publisher owned the character. The actual creator/s owned nothing. Hell in some ways it's still like that now.
The great superhero,forever
Not just the red sun, any sun that isnt yellow really
MultiKorven123 Any sun but yellow and blue. A young blue sun enhances his abilities far greater than a yellow would.
Just saw the movie...
......mindblown
About baby Superman dying due to the Superman Curse, the baby you are showing is played by Aaron Smolinski, who are very much alive to this day, and are playing in the upcoming movie "Astronomy Walkers". The baby who died as a teenager, Lee Quigley, played the newborn Kal-El on Krypton and in the first half of his journey to Earth.
top 10 watchmojo videos we could have used without
I didn't know the guy from being human was jimmy Olson! That's cool
Anyone know which comic that is at 6:23? It looks badass.
0:33 captain underpants iconic motto
when you mentioned the curse, the baby Superman that died was the one on Krypton. the one you showed actually was in Man of Steel.
Superman didn't begin to Fly until the last episode of Smallville.
Really he started the both in movie & comics + TV Show also.
smallville... forever my favorite show.
I really liked the first seasons, then I lost interest; I still don't know why...
+Squall Leonhart well there are 200+ episodes throughout the whole show soooo you know, you kinda need to put a lot of effort to watch it😂
+ErmahPercosko XD yeah, but I kinda blame Lois and the "Superman Returns" movie :P
He is awesome!
"how much do you know about him" or "how much do you know him"
never can decide o_o
5:00 thats cause they know the letter L makes an awesome initial :3
One fact overlooking: No solid Superman video games.
Superman is the Best
Superman's new 52 suit is cool
And at the end we see that Superman broke the forth wall long before Deadpool.
Whoever thought kriptonite is Superman's only weakness doesn't know enough about comic books.
Next you should do a top ten for batman
1:13, Thank you David Prowse for training the greatest Superman of all time: Christopher Reeve 🙌🏻 RIP, Vader
In Sweden, Superman was called "Stålmannen", meaning "man of steel", which make sense.
I rather like the sound of Hopeman.
Yep, I wish I never knew about that pink kryptonite.
HENRY CAVIL!!!
