How about a origin video about wonder woman or the fantastic four?

[WatchMojo]

Strange that Superman is a cultural icon of America considering he was created by a Canadian.

@JaKJaKington Both of them shunned space exploration and both of them were modified genetically in some way. However the Daxamites were at least capable of leaving Krypton.

[JaKJaKington]

@HoratioInveru Thats the Daxamites not Kryptonians...

Theres no Superhero more Iconic than Superman.

Just look at all the countless other Superheroes and parodies modeled after his trademark cape, flight, and super strenght.

How about you do an origin about man-bat, clayface or the mad hatter. (All batman villians.

@deadman00 Not for Clark. Supes is a god. Clark is just your average nice guy, and that's what he thinks of himself. That's why he doesn't just become a dictator of the planet, he doesn't let his powers get to his head. It may be unrealistic, but in a way it's comforting to have and indestructible god be at your side to defend truth, justice, and the American Way. In a way, I think that's why people like him so much

@Trinitysx Without getting too specific, they Kryptonians were genetically modified so that if they even tried to leave Krypton they'd DIE. Kal-el, and the other surviving Kryptonians, had to be extensively genetically modified. Also, the Kryptonian gov't had dissolved their space program and made space exploration illegal

[HoratioInveru]

@burby8100 Well that's actually how spies and various other members of the espionage community disguise themselves. Sure they use some makeup occasionally, but you'd be surprised how effective a few minor changes can be
