The question asked is, "Why is Superman the Greatest superhero?". The Answer to that question is one that is often overlooked by many people, including fans of other comic book characters. Superman is often disliked, or even hated because he is nearly perfect in every way imaginable. This is not his fault, and should not be held against him. While in the 1930's the censorship in America was much more harsh than what it is today, it would have been incredibly hard to introduce some of the great characters that we all love today, such as Spiderman, or the X-Men. The odds of characters such as these ever being seen on a comic book rack at this time are incredibly low, for the sake of the violence would have been too much for American audiences. The people of America needed a hero, but not one that was going to corrupt society, someone they could look up to. Superman did, however, lay down a supporting structure, along with characters such as The Human Torch, and the Submariner, for the characters that are on the market today. Another point that is needed to be made, is that Superman is a sign of hope, especially through the harsh times in which he was created. He was created during the time of the great depression, and shortly before WWII, which it goes without saying that Superman was perfect for a reason, and that reason is this: Superman was a sign of hope for people in the hardest of times! So the next time a person has the nerve to disrespect Superman, tell them that they are badly mistaken, and should probably look into his past a little bit.
