Growing up as Clark Kent, he devoted his life to helping others with the abilities he developed from Earth's sun. Moving to Metropolis, he became Superman, while still maintaining his secret identity as Clark Kent, who works at the Daily Planet newspaper. Looks: Superman is depicted as having fair skin, black hair and blue eyes. He also has a predominant muscular build, comparable to the legendary Greco-Roman hero Heracles/Hercules. When using his laser vision, Superman also has his eyes, normally blue, turn red from his pupil to his iris. Superman's iconic costume is composed of a blue shirt, with blue pants, which ends in gloveless sleeves. He also wears red boxers over his costume. He also sports a bright red cape. Superman's costume becomes just as invulnerable as its wearer, if not actually more so, under the radiation of a yellow sun. Evidence that Superman's costume may become more durable than his body on Earth includes the fact that fights with various enemies capable of physically harming Superman still fail to tear or rip his costume. As a result, Superman's costume provides some measure of protection even when Superman is stripped of his superpowers, as it can resist the effects of drastic temperature change and physical abuse. Superman's costume is also known to be able to shield its wearer (or anything wrapped in its cape) from the effects of friction. When he is working at 'Daily Planet', a newspaper company, he wears a very regular outfit. A white long-sleeved dress shirt, dark blue dress pants, usually fitted with a matching tie, black dress shoes, and sometimes a tan trench coat, much like a typical reporter would. His face doesn't have anything on it, not a mask, shades, goggles, a silly hat, he can't grow his hair super long nor can he do it to his facial hair, but he does wear glasses. His glasses seem to cover up his identity well enough to wear no one knows he is Superman, as well as other things his changes in his personality and likeness that hides who he really is. Personality: Superman is commonly thought of as the purest of all heroes due to his upstanding, highly ethical nature. Righteous, brave, and kind to a fault, he makes a point not to kill, will not resort to violence unless it is truly necessary, and there are only a handful of villains that he actually hates: Lex Luthor, Joker, Mongul, Darkseid, and Brainiac. Not only believing in his ideals, but he also embodies them and devotes himself to spreading peace and happiness wherever he goes, he is almost universally loved and recognized as the symbol of hope. It is this inherent benevolence and charisma that allowed him to become good friends with Batman and Wonder Woman, to the point where they form the Justice League. However, despite these virtues, he does suffer from his status as a "last son of Krypton "; his gifts as a constant reminder that he does not “naturally” belong to this world, he does wonder if his idealism might be unfounded in the modern world. Furthermore, seeing how lionized his image has become, Superman sometimes worries that he might not be able to fulfill the image the world has of him. Also, due to the fact that he is an ending of the Kryptonian species, Superman has occasionally suffered from loneliness despite his close kinmanship with humanity. The emergence of other survivors of Krypton like his cousin Supergirl did help remedy this to an extent. Furthermore, Superman dreads the temptation that his sheer power offers to do whatever he wants, regardless of what anyone else thinks, which drives Superman to defer to local authorities as much as he can. Regardless, Superman is still seen as the pinnacle of heroism and an example for everyone to follow. Alter identity: Various reasons over the decades have been offered for why people haven't suspected Superman and Clark Kent of being one and the same. The most common offered is simply that, despite their physical resemblance, Superman and Clark are perceived as too different in mannerisms and personality to be the same individual. One of the factors is Superman's eyes are an unnaturally vivid shade of blue. Clark's glasses diffuse the color and make his eyes appear more human in that identity. A new element that has shown up recently is the fact that most people only know of Clark as a name in a byline, and only see Superman from a distance, if they see him at all. As most people don't spend a lot of time with both Clark Kent and Superman the similar appearance doesn't come up. Another factor is how Clark Kent studies the Meisner technique, so that he can seamlessly move between his Clark and Superman personas. As Clark, he drops his head, lowers his shoulders, bends his back forward a little bit and talks in a lighter tone, while as Superman, he stands straight and talks in a deeper tone. He usually wears his iconic Superman costume underneath his work clothes. Powers: Kryptonian Physiology: As a Kryptonian, Superman possesses powers and abilities his father Jor-El deemed God-like compared to humans. On a planet near a red star, Superman would have physical attributes nearly identical to those of humans, but while on a planet near a star that is younger or bighter than Krypton's, he is granted many new abilities and powers that surpass the capabilities of humans and metahumans alike, making him the Justice League's most powerful member. His cells store the solar energy he's exposed to, allowing him to retain his powers under roofed structures or even at night, although he eventually needs to recharge after a while or when using his powers extensively. However, due to being on Earth for years and having adapted to Earth's environment, Superman exceeds any Kryptonian that has immediate exposure in terms of both raw power and skill in the application of said powers, which allowed him to outclass their considerably greater fighting experience. Direct exposure can allow him to recover and heal almost instantly from most damage, including those inflicted by Kryptonite, giving him powerful regenerative capabilities. His father Jor-El stated that he had grown more powerful than he had previously imagined, and the only way to know just how powerful was to keep testing his limits. Bruce Wayne has even stated that Superman is capable of single-handedly wiping out the entire human race should he choose to, likening him as being stronger than a planet, and Amanda Waller spearheaded the creation of Task Force X in order to have a team capable of combating an opponent of Superman's power. His resurrection has increased his powers, allowing him to single-handedly overpower the combined might of the Justice League and Steppenwolf, an ancient New God, with relative ease. He has surpassed the might of Doomsday and it seemed that only the likes of Zeus and Darkseid could surpass Superman's new level of power. Under optimal conditions, this is the main source of Superman's superpowers as they are contingent upon exposure to solar radiation from a yellow sun star system. His biological makes up includes a number of organs which lack analogues in humans and whose functions are unknown. It is believed that between one or more of these, and his bio-cellular matrix, "yellow" solar energy is stored for later use. This allows for the use of these powers to fade when yellow solar radiation is not available instead of immediate failure. Invulnerability: Due to the interaction of his dense molecular structure and supercharged bio-electric aura, Superman is nigh-invulnerable to extreme energy forces. In addition, his extends this protection against toxins and diseases. Superman is also highly invulnerable to human-made weapons. For example, a bullet or a knife cannot kill Superman. In the bullet's case, it will reflect off of his body. In the knife's case, it is most likely to shatter the knife's glass or bend the knife. Superman is immune to radiation and its effects. Surprisingly, Superman can pass through areas where normal creatures would succumb to acute radiation syndrome. He can simply detect radioactive substances, through his effects alone and without a Geiger counter. Although Superman is vulnerable to Kryptonian-level radiation, such as kryptonite and red sun radiation, he shows strong resistance to conventional radiation, such as ionizing radiation, which merely bounces off him or sticks to his skin without causing any real damage. Superman is able to survive and adapt to extremely high or low atmospheric pressure (without becoming disoriented or deprived of his normal breathing capacity), as well as high wind friction; this is accompanied by an innate immunity to vertigo and/or fear of heights. Superman's lungs acclimatize and breathe in all gaseous environments, whether hostile or deficient. Clark's lungs also filter out non-gaseous substances such as dust, asbestos and so on. He can breathe toxic gases instead of oxygen and survive air deficiencies in the mountains, in the air or on land, which are among the longest and most painful deaths the average man can suffer. Superman is unaffected by the various effects of rapid acceleration, including air resistance, inability to breathe, dynamic shock resulting from contact with objects at high speed, etc. Absolute Strength: Although the limit of his strength has not been clearly established, Superman can generate unlimited and unrivalled physical force, capable of confronting and even surpassing the strongest beings such as Darkseid and Doomsday with nothing more than the brute force of their physical blows. It does not matter how much weight Superman has to lift or move, because his body can emit an unlimited force capable of repelling an object of any mass. Thanks to this force, Superman can cover enormous distances in a single leap, unleash blows of unparalleled power, annihilate massive life forms in a single blow, cause destructive earthquakes by striking the ground, shatter planetary systems with his fists, create space-time anomalies or pass through them with his force, and so on. It should also be noted that he is immune to all powers that can manipulate, affect or deprive him of his strength. On one occasion, he struck so hard that reality itself was affected, bringing people back from the dead and dramatically altering the multiverse around him. Ballistic Heat Vision: Superman can, as a conscious act, fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it. He can vary the heat and area affected. In extreme situations, Superman can emit a massive flash of destructive energy in all directions from his entire body, but this will drain all his internal solar reserves enabling his powers, requiring a roughly 24-hour period to recharge. Supernatural Senses: Superman's senses of sight, taste, hearing, touch and smell are far more acute than those of normal humans. He can see thousands of kilometers with immense resolution and see/track things too fast for the natural eye, hear perfectly through dense walls and listen to the slightest vibration/noise from extremely distant places, even in deep space, smell anything over great distances down to individual molecules/atoms, taste the tiniest details to the point of distinguishing them on a molecular level, and feel the slightest vibration in the air, ground and water. Superman has even developed a sixth sense and various extra-sensory abilities, enabling him to perceive things that no ordinary sense can detect. Superman's hearing is sensitive enough to hear any sound at any volume or pitch. With skill and concentration, he can block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source or frequency. Also, this ability is his best when it comes to eavesdropping on a villain's plans. His hearing is also use for distress calls when people are in trouble or need him. Superman's sense of hearing is infinitely more acute than that of humans, thanks to the rays of the yellow sun. This allows him to hear anything over incredible distances, to hear things that are apparently too silent to be discernible, as well as to hear sounds over an insane range of frequencies, including infrasound, even through extremely thick and thick walls. He is even able to hear individual molecules/atoms and their movements, or even the supernatural/paranormal, including the activities of spirits or immaterial beings and creatures. This also enables him to obtain auditory information about the future or the past. On various occasions, Superman has demonstrated that his sense of smell is significantly enhanced to the point he can smell odors across the entire planet without any problem. Superman has a more acute sense of smell than humans, thanks to the rays of the yellow sun. This means he can smell anything over any distance, including space, as well as individual molecules/atoms. Electromagnetic Vision: Superman can perceive the world around him based solely on magnetic and electrical energy patterns. He is also able to see the natural magnetic auras that surround living beings. Clark can see almost the entire electromagnetic spectrum and can "tune" his vision to interpret different energy ranges. He can see radio waves (which include AM, FM and TV Frequencies), Radar, Infrared, Visible Light, Ultraviolet, X-Rays and Gamma Rays. He also has Night Vision, which enables him to see perfectly in the dark. Superman can also see the energy flowing through power lines and technological objects (he can tell whether they are active or not). He can determine whether a radio transmitter is on and sending signals. Superman can see through any volume of matter except lead. Superman's can see things behind a solid, opaque object as if it were not there. He can focus this ability to "peel back" layers of an object, allowing hidden image or inner workings to be observed. The exact type of energy perceived - such as x-rays, cosmic rays, or some other energy invisible to normal humans - is unclear. this ability perceives an ambient energy source though, it does not involve the eye projecting a concentrated, possibly toxic, beam to be reflected back from objects. (Occasionally, Superman has used his lead limitation to his advantage: when the Joker tried to distract him claiming that had several hostages in lead-lined airtight coffins all over the city, the villain anticipated that Superman would spend hours frantically searching for them while he fled the city. However, all Superman had to do was to make a wide-angle sweep of the city from the air with his X-ray vision, which made all lead objects there instantly stand out as opaque objects. Thus Superman was able to search them quickly and had plenty of time to capture the Joker in his lead-lined truck, which was similarly easy to spot as a vehicle with an obvious overuse of lead.) Superman is able to perceive the far-infrared spectrum (i.e. heat signatures), enabling him to perceive variations in the temperature of objects and the environment. This ability is incredibly useful for observation purposes, as he is able to perceive the presence of heat from any living target. This power is the ability to see biological or artificial systems to detect infrared radiation. The terms thermal vision and thermal imaging are also commonly used in this context, as a body's infrared emissions are directly related to its temperature: hot objects emit more energy in the infrared spectrum than cold ones. Warmer objects emit more energy in the infrared spectrum than cooler ones. Cooler temperatures appear green or blue, while warmer temperatures appear yellow, dark pink or even red-orange-yellow. Supernatural Speed/Flight: Superman can manipulate graviton particles to defy the forces of gravity and fly. This ranges from hovering to moving in any position, in any direction, which means he can travel faster than relativistic speed. It can move at a speed close to, equal to or greater than the speed of light. He can travel at a speed of 6175 - 1.0793e+7 km/h, exceeding hypersonic speed and reaching relativistic speed at its maximum. Superman has "immeasurable" speed. His speed cannot be measured because he can move beyond linear time. Since speed is equal to distance divided by time (S = D/T), if time is not defined, the speed formula cannot be applied. However, incommensurable speed is superior to infinite speed, which is defined as motion in zero time. The difference between the two is that Superman can travel at infinite speeds and everywhere instantaneously, whereas beings that can travel at immeasurable speeds and everywhere and always faster than instantaneously. Superman has infinite speed. He can cover any distance in "0" time, perceiving beings with finite speed as veritable statues, which only touch him if he lets them. But despite their speed, they remain bound to space and time. Supernatural Health: Superman is able to maintain intense, continuous physical action for an indefinite period of time. This is because his body converts yellow solar radiation directly into energy but is limited by his physiological and psychological needs to eat, drink and sleep. He can also hold his breath for an indefinite period. In the extreme case of Superman being injured, whether by an alien matching his own strength or by other events, he has the ability to heal almost instantly from moderate wounds, provided the process is not hindered by an external factor, e.g. Kryptonite. This "healing factor" is supplemented by his reserves of solar energy. As his healing factor works faster when he's close to the sun, he must continue to absorb solar energy to heal mortal wounds until the process is complete. The healing factor can keep him strong, healthy and young indefinitely, provided he remains under a yellow sun. Superman is physically, mentally, socially, spiritually and emotionally healthier than other superhumans. He has no physical flaws and is virtually immune to disorders, diseases, disabilities, etc. He can also take a great deal of damage before fainting or collapsing from the effects of illness and has a superhuman metabolism. Overall, Clark's health is remarkably impressive. Supernatural Mobility: Superman is able to move at incredible speed by sheer force of will. This extends to his perceptions and allows for feats such as catching bullets in mid-flight as well as covering vast distances in little or no time. Superman can run faster than anybody in the world, except for The Flash. Supernatural Breath: Superman is able to create hurricane-force winds by exhaling air from his lungs. He can chill the air as it leaves his lungs to freeze targets. He can also reverse the process to pull large volumes of air or vapor into his lungs. Freezing Breath: With this ability, Superman can release his breath as a freezing version of his vortex breath. Ballstic Scream: Superman can emit extremely powerful sound waves by inhaling deeply and then releasing them by screaming at the top of his lungs, a scream so powerful that it can destroy almost anything it comes into contact with and can be heard the world over (even by the most deaf), whether it's objects, buildings or people, it can also level entire cities, continents, countries and even shake entire planets. Its cry is also capable of jamming and disabling the most advanced electronic and computer equipment. Supernatural Mind: Superman's mind is insanely enhanced by yellow solar rays, enabling him to grasp an infinite amount of information unfolding at very high speed without missing any and retaining them all perfectly, this includes objects from living beings traveling at the speed of light or beyond, he is also able to track his own actions which are immeasurable, a fight with opponents who are gods, such as Doosmday, Darkseid, etc.... As well as performing numerous tasks simultaneously with extreme precision, while moving at very high speed. Once he was gifted with the infinite knowledge of the universe and it did not kill him, Superman managed to hang on and stay strong long enough for it to pass. Superman has also shown incredible intelligence and computational abilities; his mind works sharply and with extreme speed relative to earth-humans. His analytical powers are impressive — he is able to use his senses to read information directly from machines (and, with careful usage of his heat vision, he can even reprogram machines). Recently after he regained his powers in the "One Year Later" arc, his brain's intelligence has increased and it operates with much greater speed, procession, and analytical prowess, to the point he can recall things in such detail that he knows the ballistics of every shot by Bloodshot and the vector and mass of each and every one of Riot's bodies. He can see into one of the most advanced Kryptonian Sun Stone Battle Ships and watch energy patterns shift and change, trace command signals at light speed down branching, maze-like pathways whilst, at the same time, finding one small knot of circuitry. Telepathy: Rarely used though, Superman could read and talk to people through one's mind. Self-Sustenance: Superman does not need to eat and sleep so long as he is under the effects of yellow sun radiation. His body stores the energy necessary to negate eating and sleeping for an indefinite period. Superman does not need to eat or sleep as long as he is under the effect of the yellow sun's radiation. His body stores the energy necessary to not eat or sleep for an indefinite period. Nor does he need to cleanse or cleanse himself. Abilities: Combat Mastery: Born with the incredible powers and having been a superhero throughout his career, Superman has been a formidable hand-to-hand combatant, having taken down these powerful villains he had faced throughout his time, his fighting style is mostly boxing, having delivered his powerful punches either ground or aerial in mid-air, he was trained by both Wildcat (in Boxing), and Mongul in the fighting arts. Superman has fought and learned from Wonder Woman. He has also learned more advanced martial arts techniques from Batman. Indomitable Nature: Superman has shown to have a powerful force of Will, completely free of evil or temptation. Having been raised by a kindly Kansas farmer and his wife, Superman was taught to protect life and help others. He is very optimistic and never gives up, even when things look bad. Superman has an indomitable nature; the property of being difficult, if not impossible, to defeat, subdue or overcome, possessing incredible strength and a personal form of invincibility linked to the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, etc., that makes him invincible and unsubduable to anyone who is able to exceed his own limits and extend his nature of being, whether as a whole or selectively by nature of being (characteristic, principles, aspects, etc.). Superman's innate indomitability makes him an unstoppable force of nature that binds him to that which makes him what he is, allowing him to live up to all that he is meant to be and all that he can become, regardless of the efforts of others to control him, for he is immune to any form of alteration or control over him in general. Leadership: Superman innately knows how to be a great leader, enabling him to effectively maintain order and morale. Superman has an intuitive mastery of associated leadership skills, speech and body language, expertly sending out all the right signals, giving him a major advantage in any social situation and enabling him to easily forge a fanatical level of trust and devotion in anyone who exercises these talents. Thanks to this ability, Clark has developed an incredibly charismatic personality and is able to inspire and win others over to his beliefs. Over time, Superman has won the loyalty and devotion of humans, members of his team and even Batman (who initially saw him as a threat), changing anyone's opinions on anything, getting them to serve and follow him. Thanks to this ability, Superman obtains authority, rises to the top of any social hierarchy and occupies positions of leadership very quickly and easily, and performs feats such as always doing the right thing when it comes to administering, commanding, governing and directing. Weaknesses: Kryptonite: Since the destruction of Krypton, its remains (rendered radioactive by the explosion) have been spreading throughout the universe as Kryptonite, a crystalline substance whose specific radiation is lethal to Kryptonians native to this reality. The most common form of Kryptonite is Green Kryptonite, and its effect is directly poisonous. Kryptonite from other realities does not necessarily have the same effects on all Kryptonians. For example, Kryptonite from the Pocket Universe is not as lethal to Superman as Kryptonite that comes from his native reality. Superman was able to survive inside a Red Sun that was surrounded by Kryptonite. Green: It can weaken Superman both physically and mentally. Short term exposure will leave Superman weakened while long term exposure will kill him. This is also every Kryptonian's weaknesses. However, Superman can resist Green Kryptonite, but it will be hard, due to the fact that it is rare and that it can weaken him strongly. Red: It can have various different effects on a Kryptonian. It can make Superman a completely different person. However, psychologically. It can make his personality have traits of a villain and have thoughts relating to evil stuff. This will also make Superman lose his social conscience and inhibitions. It even once turned his head like an ant's. Blue: It can rob Superman of his powers and make him vulnerable at anything. Black: It can separate Superman from both his Kryptonian and Human side. Other versions can corrupt him to become evil or separate his good and evil halves. Gold: The Pre-Crisis version can give Superman permanent wounds or scars that cannot ever be healed, and it can also cause him to lose his powers and abilities forever. Post-Crisis, Gold Kryptonite will temporarily negate his powers so long as he is near it, but his powers will return when he is away from it. Kryptonians: On the rare occasions where he has battled other Kryptonians, they seem more easily able to harm one another as well. A noticeable observation is that other Kryptonians appear to develop superhuman abilities immediately upon entering a yellow star system, whereas it took Kal-El many years living under a yellow sun for his powers to develop (This may be because he arrived on Earth as a toddler. Had he been an adult or perhaps adolescent his powers would likely have manifested themselves much more readily). Radiation Absorbing Materials: Although Superman's X-Ray Vision is at first sight very powerful and impressive, it is unable to penetrate and see through surfaces and walls made of metals and materials reinforced or entirely made of Zinc (only Low-Energy Photons) - Lead - Gold - Osmium - Iridium - Platinum - Rhenium - Tungsten or Uranium. Chi: Lex Luthor and Question argued that, because of Superman's solar-based powers, planetary based esoteric and vital forces could have an opposite effect on him. Luthor posited that concentrated doses of such energies could severely cripple Superman and become fatal, and he attempted to exploit this weakness with the Science Spire, which tapped into Metropolis' Earth energies, or chi, in this case. Red Sun: When exposed to the same red solar radiation as Krypton's red sun Rao, it causes Superman to lose his powers within a large amount of exposure until the exposure to yellow sunlight will reverse this effect. Solar Energy Exhaustion: Though not as common, much like with a Red Sun, as the yellow solar radiation stored within his body acts as fuel for his powers, Superman's powers can grow weaker to the point where he may not be able to use them if he continuously uses his powers without having enough time to replenish the yellow solar energy reserves within his body, especially if he doesn't have any direct contact to yellow sunlight. Magic: Superman's biomatrix is his most powerful asset, but the strength of this field is also its greatest weakness. Its permeability to certain wavelengths makes Superman vulnerable to certain radiations, particularly magical energies whose chaotic electromagnetic or extra-dimensional signatures disrupt this force-field. Superman's vulnerability to magic varies depending upon the special effects of the magic. No magic seems to be able to directly destroy him unless it comes from a semi-divine or divine source. He can be injured and worn down by magical entities. Magic can have powerful and unpredictable effects on Superman and his magical enemies have often proven to be the most dangerous. Recently, Superman has learned more about magic with the help of Zatanna, and he is able to counter almost every spell. Magic has unknown effects on him. He was able to survive when he had a magical sword in the chest and a magical arrow in his back. It was during a fight against four Elder Gods. A fight that Superman won. He was able to withstand a magical blast that managed to knockout the entire JLA and both Wonder Woman (magic being) and Zauriel (Angel). He went after the enemy in question and stopped him. Fatal Injuries: While Superman is extremely powerful, fatal injuries can kill Superman-like any other human as he is mortal. Doomsday inflicted fatal injuries on the Man of Steel, and he was unable to recover. Other heavy hitters can kill Superman such as Darkseid, Despero, Black Adam, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Captain Marvel, amongst others. Physical Limitations: Superman is a formidable opponent and one of the most powerful superheroes on the Justice League. However, there are weights he cannot lift and enemies he can't outrun. When facing enemies more powerful than himself, Superman calls the Justice League for help. High Pitched Noises: Because of his super hearing, Superman's ears are extra-sensitive to extreme noises. Phantom Zoners: Phantom Zoners, being aliens, can hurt him to varying extents depending on the alien. Psionics: Another hitch to Superman and other Kryptonian's abilities is his interaction with psychic influences, i.e. mind control, telekinesis, possession and the like. An exceptionally powerful mentalist can manipulate the minds of even the strongest of Kryptonians or Daxamites due to their relatively weak defenses against telepathic intrusion, while at the same time a skilled telekinetic can also bypass their usually high levels of imperiousness by affecting them at a molecular-subatomic level. However, after he was nearly mind-controlled by Maxwell Lord to attack Wonder Woman, he spent some time training with the Martian Manhunter to overcome this weakness, with the result that he was later able to throw off Arion's attempt to take control of him in a similar matter. Triva: Was once in a porno with Big Barda Superman was at one point in his life a vegetarian. Superman admitted that the only being he is afraid of is Doomsday. Clark's favorite movie is To Kill a Mockingbird. He had sex with Talia al Ghul before Batman. Superman owns a small army of robotic clones, which function primarily as his butlers and can sometimes assist in his fights. These robots are still nowhere near as powerful as Superman himself. Superman's shield on his chest was inspired by a sheriff star: to show that he was a force for good. Superman's powers were originally only superhuman strength, speed, durability, senses and intelligence: basically, enhancements of what people can do. His super-vision eventually included X-Ray vision. Heat vision was introduced as a variation of his X-Ray vision; with the radiation being so intense that it could melt objects. This was retconned to be Superman simply expelling his solar energy from his eyes. The basic concept of the DC Universe is that it is supposed to be just like the real world, but with super-heroes (and super-villains) existing on it. However, there are other differences. Many fictional countries, such as Qurac, Vlatava, and Zandia, exist in it. The DC Universe typically has its comic books set in fictional cities, such as the cities of Gotham City (based upon New York City, New Jersey and Chicago) and Metropolis (based in part upon Toronto, though like Gotham, it also serves as a New York City analog in the comics). These cities are effectively fictional archetypes of cities, with Gotham City embodying the negative aspects of life in a large city, and Metropolis reflecting more of the positive aspects. The presence of superhumans affected the cities, but the general history of the fictional United States was similar to the real one. Recently, many events that changed the whole political stage of the World have taken place, from Lex Luthor being elected as President of the United States, to entire cities (and even some countries) being destroyed, as well as a Third World War. There are other significant changes, such as the Earth is slightly larger than ours. The planet Saturn has 18 moons rather than 19 because Superman destroyed one, and other such differences. Superheroes: The majority of the superhumans on Earth owe their powers to the "metagene": A genetic feature of unknown origin, which causes some people to develop superpowers when exposed to dangerous substances and forces. Others owe their powers to magic, genetic manipulation or bionics (see below). A large power gap resides between Superheroes and civilians, making superheroes almost God-like. Still others owe their powers to not being human at all (see races, below). There are also many heroes and villains who possess no powers at all but use advanced technology or training in special skills, such as martial arts. The tradition of using costumed identities to fight crimes (or commit them) started mainly during the 1930's, with heroes like The Crimson Avenger and The Sandman. By 1940, the first Superhero team, The Justice Society of America (JSA), was formed. During World War II, all of America's heroes were banded together as the All-Star Squadron to protect the United States from the Axis powers. However, due to a magical spell cast by Adolf Hitler (using the Spear of Destiny and the Holy Grail) the most powerful heroes where unable to enter Axis-held territories, leaving the war to be fought mainly by normal humans such as Sgt. Rock and The Unknown Soldier. After the war, under pressure from the paranoid Committee on Un-American Activities the JSA disbanded. While many types of heroes were active afterwards (mainly non-costumed, such as the Challengers of the Unknown or Detective Chimp), it wasn't until Superman's public debut that a new generation of costumed heroes became active. Soon after, The Justice League of America was formed, and they've remained Earth's main superhero team; most DC heroes (such as the Teen Titans) have either belonged to the League at some point or have connections to it. Power is greatly exaggerated in some denizens of the DC Universe, like the Major heroes and certain cosmic entities. Living as a superhero has its inconsistencies, like Superman's vulnerability to magic and kryptonite, Green Lantern's initial ineffectiveness to the color yellow (which can be overcome through training) or Batman's lack of powers (which he makes up for with his keen intelligence, constant training, and assorted gadgets). Superheroes are generally accepted by the general public, with some (such as Superman and The Flash) actually having museums dedicated to them. The governments of the world have long realized that they must deal with the "metahumans" in some way. Years ago, an organization called "The Dome" was formed to help superheroes who needed to fight crime across international borders; the superhero group called the Global Guardians were their main agents. However, the Dome eventually lost its United Nations backing to the Justice League. The American government has had a more untrusting approach, however. Back during World War II, they started "Project M" to create experimental soldiers to fight in the war, such as the Creature Commandos. Most of these experiments remain a secret to the public. Currently, the government deals with metahumans and similar beings through its Department of Extranormal Operations (DEO). Covertly, they use an organization of costumed (but non-superhuman) agents known as "Checkmate". The government also formed Task Force X (known as the "Suicide Squad") for "black ops" mostly using imprisoned (and thus expendable) supervillains enticed with offered clemency into helping them. Outcast personalities are usually evident in super-villiany as well. Villains with meek powers contrive schemes of extraordinary complexity, yet because of their simple talents, when caught, any prison sufficient enough to contain these villains are suitable. They are masters in heists, kidnappings and robberies. More powerful villains strive to contest for greater goals like world domination, or universal acclaim. Usually more powerful enemies are imprisoned in maximum level facilities and even dimensions (Phantom Zone) or space because they cannot simply be killed by a stray bullet or a fatal blow. Super-villains sometimes also form their own groups, but these tend to be short-lived due to the fact that most villains simply do not trust each other. Most such teams are formed by a charismatic (or fearsome) criminal mastermind for specific purposes; an example is the Secret Society of Super Villains of which there have been several versions. Most villain teams are usually small (formed of individuals who know each other personally, such as the Central City Rogues) or have some other reason to stay together (mercenary groups like the H.I.V.E., fanatical cults such as Kobra, etc.) Advanced technology: Devices more advanced than those we currently have are available - but they're usually very expensive, and usually only rich or powerful individuals and organizations (or the scientific geniuses who create them) have access to them. S.T.A.R. Labs is an independent research outfit that often develops these devices, while Lexcorp is the main company selling them. It must also be noted that the government also runs the secret Project Cadmus (located in the mountains near Metropolis) to develop clones and genetic manipulation without the public's knowledge. Technology can also come from outer space or different timelines. Apokolips weaponry is often sold in Metropolis to the criminal organization known as Intergang. Robots and similar creations, including cyborgs, have superior intelligence because they are created as sentient beings. The Manhunters, Red Tornado, Robotman, Hourman and Metallo are a few among the many sentient androids, or cyborgs, created by Individuals who possess vast intellect like the scientist Professor Ivo, who has the ability to create super-human androids such as Amazo using a form of Nanotechnology developed by Lexcorp. Brainiac also emulates this technology as well as technology from other worlds. Similarly, some characters use technology to enhance their armor or modify cybernetic functions, for example Steel, Cyborg and the Cyborg Superman. Hidden races: There are a few intelligent races living on Earth that the public at large did not know about until recent times. Among these are the last survivors of Atlantis, who changed themselves into water-breathing forms, including the human-like Poseidonians and the mermaid-like Tritonians. Other species, such as Project Cadmus's subhumans, test subjects who fled the constraints of being laboratory test subjects to the sewers below Metropolis, had also existed. There is also a tribe of highly intelligent, telepathic gorillas living in an invisible city hidden in Africa; this is the home of Gorilla Grodd. Aliens: There are many intelligent extraterrestrial races as well. Curiously, a large number of them are humanoid, even human-like, in form; some can even interbreed with Earth humans. Some of these races have natural superpowers, but they're usually the same for all individuals of the same race, unlike Earth's metahumans. This unusual situation has never been explained well. However, there are also plenty of nonhuman races as well. Order is kept around the galaxy by the Guardians of the Universe and their agents, the Green Lantern Corps. Rival peacekeeping organizations include the Darkstars (created by the Guardians' rivals, the Controllers) and the interplanetary mercenary organization L.E.G.I.O.N. Criminal organizations include the Manhunters, the Spider Guild and the Dark Circle. One oddity is the Vegan Star system. Due to an arrangement with the Psions, the Guardians did not intervene in that system, allowing a cruel empire called "The Citadel" to govern there, until it was overthrown by the Omega Men. Supernatural creatures: Magic and the supernatural are often depicted as being real in the DC Universe, though some skeptics such as Mister Terrific maintain that there are scientific explanations to all such events. The narration of the mystic and harsh dark reality is more common in DC's Vertigo comics because its stories lurk outside of superhero fantasy; the Vertigo series have beings that relate better to civilian life although both universes are subject to fantastical realms, and unworldly dimensions. There are several types of supernatural creatures and realms, such as: Gods: The first beings calling themselves 'gods' first appeared billions of years ago on another planet, but they destroyed themselves in a terrible war. This unleashed the "Godwave", a wave of cosmic energy from The Source. This gave birth to other gods across the universe, including Earth's. From the planet's remains were formed the worlds of Apokolips and New Genesis, inhabited by beings that call themselves "New Gods". It must be noted that this universe was created by an omnipotent being known as "The Presence", which is believed to be the creator-being described by many religions, including Christianity. Also, beings calling themselves 'angels', such as Zauriel (see below), have appeared, thought they seem little different from the mythological gods. Depending on the characters, other diverse religious deities from ancient cultures are common. Heroes such as Aztek and Black Condor, or villains like Black Adam, have found knowledge of their native roots in origin. Heaven and Hell: Heaven and Hell do exist in the DC Universe but may not exist in the same continuum. In the DC/Vertigo universe the Triumvirate rule hell which are Lord Lucifer, and biblical incarnations of Beelzebub, and Belial. Generic depictions of Satan, angels, demons and God also appear frequently. Versions vary from the Vertigo and DC Universe series because the Vertigo/DC Universe use them in relation to religion and mythology while the writers in the DCU have a tendency to narrate fantasy. The Lords of Order and Chaos: These two groups of magical beings have been fighting against each other since the beginning of time, and they often empower others (with "Order Magic" or "Chaos Magic") in exchange for their acting as their agents. Many magical heroes and villains have been manipulated by them. Elementals: The Earth itself has a living spirit called "Maya" who, for millennia, has been creating champions, one for each of the mystical elements, to protect itself, using human beings as their hosts. Swamp Thing, Firestorm, Naiad and Red Tornado were some of them. Homo Magi: A subspecies of humanity with the natural ability to use magic, this race almost disappeared after too much crossbreeding with normal humans (it's from them that people in the DC universe inherited the ability to use magic.) The last pureblooded ones decided to retire to a magical invisible city centuries ago, and are now known as "The Hidden Ones".Zatanna had a Homo Magi mother, and knows many of the race's secrets. The Endless: Physical manifestations of eternal and universal phenomena that effect the human condition such as Death, Desire, Dream, Despair, Delirium, etc, principally recounted in the Modern Age Sandman series. Wizards and Sorcerers: Various sorcerers lurk in the DCU. Dr. Fate, Circe, the wizard Shazam, Mordru and Felix Faust are written as characters who use sorcery to create and destroy. Dimensions, rituals and spiritual realms are sources for magic power as seen in Ra's al Ghul's Lazarus Pit and the transformations of Captain Marvel. Demonic entities: They vary from the Demon Etrigan, to Blaze and Satanus, and Neron. Demonic entities are abundant and come from Hell although some like Eclipso, the vengeance demon (also referred to as the Prince of Darkness), reside on the Moon. Demonic Entities from Wonder Woman comics are directly linked to Greek Mythology such as Hades, and Ares. In the Vertigo worlds, characters like John Constantine oppose Demons of Christian Mythology such as Satan and Gabriel, the Fallen Angel. Most Demons are not however directly linked to Demonology. Time travel: It is possible to travel in time in this universe by several means, including moving faster than the speed of light. The Legion of Super-Heroes from 1,000 years into the future in particular have access to time-travel technology while Rip Hunter is the present-day authority of the technology. Originally, it was impossible to change the past, or to exist in two places at the same time (a time traveler appearing in a period on which he or she already existed would become an ineffectual, invisible phantom while there). However, that was all changed after the Anti-Monitor tried to change history at the beginning of time during the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Also, a number of alternate realities- known as Hypertime- now exist. A group calling itself the Linear Men formed to prevent anyone from changing history. In addition, an enormously powerful being called the Time Trapper, an enemy of the Legion, has been known to mess with the time stream, even creating "pocket universes". Other dimensions: The DC Universe is composed of a number of different dimensional planes, most notably parallel earths (see Multiverse), but the latter were eliminated when reality was altered by the Anti-Monitor (although stories featuring parallel earths have continued to crop up with various rationalizations in the following years). Other types of dimensions still exist, however, including the Antimatter Universe, the Pax dimension, and the Fifth Dimension, and the new 52 Multiverse.
