- Identity Crisis: The Many Faces of the Man of Steel
- Since his introduction in 1934, Superman has maintained his status as a premiere pop icon. This scholarly yet accessible site explores the legend of Superman and what it means to society. Why is he so deeply embedded in our cultural consciousness? Perhaps because he grew out of the late 19th-century tradition of Western frontier heroes. Like the gunslingers, he was a hybrid straddling the line between civilized gentleman and rugged fighter. This dualism also put Superman in conflict with himself. He masquerades as a nerd, but he's really a stud. He's an immigrant, yet he upholds the American way. Take a look at the creators of the comic to see how their own personalities influenced the Man of Steel, learn of the history behind the superhero, and listen to the 1940 Superman radio show. -
