Can Superman lift a planet?

Yes, definitely. Superman will not actually kill him but put him down. Thor is nothing besides a weak man without his hammer. Superman is more powerful than Thor in several ways. Thor fights using his mighty hammer whereas Superman, with deadly powers, mortal punch and heavy kicks. If Superman throws 100 punches in two seconds at Thor, then its a goodbye for the son of "Ordin". According to the Hero lists, Superman stands first, Hulk goes second and Thor the third. Putting the man of steel down is something incapable of doing.

What is Superman's sister name?

No. in the classic TV series he was a bachelor and lived alone in a small apartment, evidentlaly in Metopolis. some of the old TV shots were filmed in Jersey City (!!) Lois Lane was his number one girl in the TV show, but he has had several girl friends or love interests in the comic books such as Lana Lang ( who is a redhead and the daughter of archaeologist Professor Lang) Lori Lemaris, etc. in contrast, Batman, totally obsessed with crime fighting, has no love interests. it is odd the TV Superman had only one Love interest, tnough they were not married, the comic book one had several he is currently married (in some versions) to Lois Lane, and Lana Lang is no longer a supporting character. It struck me she was vaguely like Arlene Dahl.

In the family sense, yes, Quite literally they were Kissing Cousins in the El family.

Re-runs, of course have their own class of immortality- as with television shows.

Why did they create Superman?

Superman is a comic-book hero created by writer Jerome Siegel and cartoonist Joseph Schuster. These fictional stories say he was born on the planet Krypton, and was given the name Kal-El by his parents, Jor-El, his father, a scientist, and mother, Lara Lor-Van, who, in some stories, is portrayed as a librarian and historian.

One superman story reveals that Jor-El's and Lara's marriage was an arranged marriage, arranged between Lara's grandmother, Lady Nara, and Jor-El's father, Seyg-El.

Kal-El (aka 'Superman') was the product of this union.

This is how the fictional character Superman was created, naming (a) his actual human 'creators', and (b) his fictional parental background according to the sci-fi storyline and scenario of his origins.

The following is how the people who came up with Superman, created him:


Superman was created by American writer Jerry Siegel and Canadian-born artist Joe Shuster in 1932 while both were living in Cleveland, Ohio, and sold to Detective Comics, Inc. in 1938, the character first appeared in Action Comics #1 (June 30, 1938) and subsequently appeared in various radio serials, television programs, films, newspaper strips, and video games.

Originally, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster first created a bald telepathic villain bent on dominating the entire world. He appeared in the short story "The Reign of the Super-Man" from Science Fiction #3, a science fiction fanzine that Siegel published in 1933. Siegel re-wrote the character in 1933 as a hero, bearing little or no resemblance to his villainous namesake, modeling the hero on Douglas Fairbanks Sr and his bespectacled alter ego, Clark Kent, on Harold Lloyd. Siegel and Shuster then began a six-year quest to find a publisher. Titling it The Superman, Siegel and Shuster offered it to Consolidated Book Publishing, who had published a 48-page black-and-white comic book entitled Detective Dan: Secret Operative No. 48. Although the duo received an encouraging letter, Consolidated never again published comic books. Shuster took this to heart and burned all pages of the story, the cover surviving only because Siegel rescued it from the fire. Siegel and Shuster each compared this character to Slam Bradley, an adventurer the pair had created for Detective Comics #1 (May 1939).

Siegel contacted other artists to collaborate on the strip, according to Gerard Jones feeling that "Superman was going nowhere with Joe". Toni Strobi, Mel Graff and Russell Keaton were all contacted as potential collaborators by Siegel. Artwork produced by Keaton based on Siegel's treatment shows the concept evolving. Superman is now sent back in time as a baby by the last man on Earth, where he is found and raised by Sam and Molly Kent. However Keaton did not pursue the collaboration, and soon Siegel and Shuster were back working together on the character again.

The pair re-envisioned the character, who became more of a hero in the mythic tradition, inspired by such characters as Samson and Hercules who would right the wrongs of Siegel and Shuster's times, fighting for social justice and against tyranny. It was at this stage the costume was introduced, Siegel later recalling that they created a "kind of costume and let's give him a big S on his chest, and a cape, make him as colorful as we can and as distinctive as we can." The design was based in part on the costumes worn by characters in outer space settings published in pulp magazines, as well as comic strips such as Flash Gordon, and also partly suggested by the traditional circus strong-man outfit. However, the cape has been noted as being markedly different from the Victorian tradition. Gary Engle described it as without "precedent in popular culture" in Superman at Fifty: The Persistence of a Legend. The circus performer's shorts-over-tights outfit was soon established as the basis for many future superhero outfits. This third version of the character was given extraordinary abilities, although this time of a physical nature as opposed to the mental abilities of the villainous Superman.

The locale and the hero's civilian names were inspired by the movies, Shuster said in 1983. "Jerry created all the names. We were great movie fans, and were inspired a lot by the actors and actresses we saw. As for Clark Kent, he combined the names of Clark Gable and Kent Taylor. And Metropolis, the city in which Superman operated, came from the Fritz Lang movie [Metropolis, 1927], which we both loved".

Although they were by now selling material to comic book publishers, notably Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson's National Allied Publishing, the pair decided to feature this character in a comic strip format, rather than in the longer comic book story format that was establishing itself at this time. They offered it to both Max Gaines, who passed, and to United Feature Syndicate, who expressed interest initially but finally rejected the strip in a letter dated February 18, 1937. However, in what historian Les Daniels describes as "an incredibly convoluted turn of events", Max Gaines ended up positioning the strip as the lead feature in Wheeler-Nicholson's new publication, Action Comics. Vin Sullivan, editor of the new book, wrote to the pair requesting that the comic strips be refashioned to suit the comic book format, requesting "eight panels a page". However Siegel and Shuster ignored this, utilizing their own experience and ideas to create page layouts, with Siegel also identifying the image used for the cover of Action Comics #1 (June 1938), Superman's first appearance.

Siegel may have been inspired to create the Superman character due to the death of his father. Mitchell Siegel was an immigrant who owned a clothing store on New York's Lower East Side. He died during a robbery attempt in 1932, a year before Superman was created. Although Siegel never mentioned the death of his father in interviews, both Gerard Jones and Brad Meltzer believe it must have affected him. "It had to have an effect," says Jones. "There's a connection there: the loss of a dad as a source for Superman." Meltzer states: "Your father dies in a robbery, and you invent a bulletproof man who becomes the world's greatest hero. I'm sorry, but there's a story there."

Who would win in a fight Superman or Hercules?

Zeus. He is immortal and could destroy God with a thunderbolt from his master bolt within seconds.

Can Hulk defeat Superman?

No Hulk cannot put Superman down. Hulk may be strong and outraged but Superman is mighty and powerful. Superman has various options to destroy his enemies whereas the Hulk has to get near to kill his opponent or grab a heavy item to hit his target. If Superman decides to fight Hulk without using his superpowers, the Hulk will win after a long battle. Superman still stands first. So the final answer is Superman wins against the Hulk.
