They originally intended for the character to star in a daily newspaper comic strip. The title is a reference to one of Superman's nicknames which touted his invulnerability making him the "Man of Steel." It was later used as the title of an ongoing comic series and in a film reboot in 2013.Further information: DC Comics § History, and Origin of SupermanThe character of Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The story stayed in DC Comics continuity as the origin of Superman until it was expanded upon in the 2003 limited series Superman: Birthright, which stayed canon until 2009. The series also included the reintroduction of a number of supporting characters, including fellow reporter and love interest Lois Lane and archenemy Lex Luthor, who was re-branded from a mad scientist to a powerful businessman and white-collar criminal.The series's legacy persisted, as it set the new status quo for all of the ongoing Superman comic series for many years after it was published. The series includes the embryonic Kal-El rocketing away from the destruction of Krypton and his birth upon landing in Kansas when he emerged from the artificial womb, Clark Kent as a teenager in Smallville learning that he was found in a crashed space ship, his being hired at the Daily Planet in Metropolis, the creation of his secret identity of Superman, his first meeting with fellow hero Batman, and how he finally learned of his birth parents and from where he came. The series told the story of Superman's modern origin, which had been rebooted following the 1985-86 series Crisis on Infinite Earths.DC editors wanted to make changes to the character of Superman, including making him the sole survivor of his home planet Krypton, and Byrne's story was written to show these changes and to present Superman's origin.
Eventually, these new details began to conflict with earlier stories, especially with the transition of comics from the Golden Age of Comic Books to the Silver Age of Comic Books. In 1945, Superman's adventures as a boy in Smallville were introduced in More Fun Comics #101 with the concept of Superboy, while his status as the only survivor of Krypton's destruction changed in 1959 with the introduction of his cousin, Supergirl in Action Comics #252. After Siegel and Shuster left, new writers and artists added their own ideas to the Superman mythos. In the next few decades, Superman's story was expanded to include new characters and storylines. Soon after his introduction, the character became very popular, and by summer of 1939 he was starring in not only Action Comics, but also his own self-titled comic Superman, becoming the first character successful enough to support two comic titles. This book gave his origin, however it was cut down to one page.
This created an infinite number of worlds on which any number of conflicting stories could occur, which resolved many of these conflicts in the Superman mythos.The multiverse, however, turned out to be too complicated for casual readers of comic books. The story introduced the idea of the DC Multiverse, which presented the idea that these original heroes from the Golden Age were from Earth-2, while the current generation of heroes were from Earth-1. These conflicts were resolved in an issue of The Flash #123, Flash of Two Worlds.
While regular Superman writer Cary Bates wanted the revision to still keep the then-ongoing continuity as it was, Wolfman, and other writers such as Frank Miller and Steve Gerber wanted to restart the continuity from scratch. Nothing was ever developed until then-publisher and president Jenette Kahn asked for revision proposals from various writers. DC decided that with the series they could reboot the history of many of its characters, including Superman, leading to The Man of Steel.In the years before Crisis on Infinite Earths led to the reboot of the DC Universe, DC editors and Marv Wolfman had been wanting to do a revision for Superman. They would accomplish this in the 1985 limited series, Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Thus, for modern comics, The Man of Steel is the dividing point between the previous canon of the Silver Age, and the Modern Age. The mini-series was designed to reboot the Superman mythos using the history-altering effects of Crisis on Infinite Earths as an explanation. With DC agreeing with 99% of the revision, Byrne was given the go-ahead for what became The Man of Steel. He and Byrne began talking about what Byrne would do with Superman if offered the job. However, regardless of wanting the same things, how each writer wanted to approach the revision was different.After time had passed with no revision being granted the green light, Executive Editor Dick Giordano found out John Byrne had left Marvel Comics in May 1985.

While in Metropolis, however, he openly prevents the crash of an experimental space plane, revealing his existence to the public. Clark decides to anonymously help others and for the next few years, during his studies in university, he secretly saves lives and averts disasters. Jonathan explains that Clark needs to use his powers more responsibly, not for his own benefit.
In order to preserve Clark's privacy, Jonathan suggests that Clark adopt a secret identity such as those used by earlier superheroes. Clark, unable to deal with the sudden attention, flies away to consult his parents. A grateful mob of people surrounds them.
His powers do not reach their peak until his late teen years thus, Clark only adopts the Superman identity in adulthood and never was Superboy.In some pre- Crisis depictions, the Kents surrendered baby Kal-El to an orphanage before having a change of heart and legally adopting him as their own. They keep the infant to prevent further exploitation of him.Clark's abilities are shown to have developed gradually in the yellow sun environment of Earth, starting with resistance to injury, with his flying ability emerging last. The Kents believe the baby to be a human experimental subject. This also made him "born" an American, a plot point that would be used in Armageddon 2001, a DC Comics storyline which explored possible futures, one of which featured Superman becoming President of the United States. Once the rocket landed, Kal-El was fully "born" on Earth. Kal-El was not an infant sent from Krypton to Earth, rather, his fetus was placed in a "birthing matrix" equipped with a rocket engine and Jor-El's experimental warp drive, with Kal-El gestating during the trip to Earth.
Friends and relatives assumed that they kept Martha's "pregnancy" a secret over fear of losing another child. Prior to finding Clark, Martha Kent had a history of failed pregnancies.
