Superman is much more than a cartoon character; he’s an American hero. Impress young guests with the ultimate Superman party, one which comes complete with lots of ‘super’ trivia.
Quiz guests about the traits and characteristics that make Superman so super. “Truth, justice and the American way” is the signature slogan of Superman, also distinguished by a costume which bears a famous red ‘S,’ on a background of blue and gold and a flowing cap. One of the original super heroes, the character is known for his endless integrity, brave rescues, and classic American values
Also share some facts about the history of this franchise. The character of Superman has seen much development and many incarnations since its inception in 1932; the year that the Superman comic was created by American writer Jerry Siegel and Canadian-born American artist Joe Shuster. Since that time Superman has appeared in DC comic books, numerous motion pictures, television shows, video games, and just about every other form of mass media—not to mention merchandise that includes Superman dolls and action figures, plus T-shirts, badges and iron-on appliqués depicting his signature “S.”
Through all of these various incarnations, the legend of Superman has remained essentially the same. The character finds his origins on the planet Krypton; and, ironically enough, a mysterious substance known as Kryptonite represents his only major weakness. Superman comes to Earth under the guise of bespectacled reporter Clark Kent, who works at a newspaper The Daily Planet alongside heroine and love interest Lois Lane. His true earthly purpose, however, is to defend the planet Earth from all enemies and interlopers; defending the cause of truth, justice and the American Way!
