Superman family







superman started up around '36 or '39. over the years he has gained allies with the same or similar powers or wearing the superman S.  
I guess ill start off with Super Girl
super girl first appeared in action comics #252 on may 1959.
originally her costume was a long blue skirt an ugly ass hair cut and a long red cape with long blue  sleeves.
over the ages her costume has changed for the better it now is a short skirt with a gold belt a long cape with gold sides, a belly shirt with long sleeves that has gold on the ends of the sleeves.
her origin pretty much is she is superman's cousin shot off a rocket like the boy in blue it just took a ton longer for her to get to earth so when she got there she was 16-20

Super Boy!!!
the reason I'm glad is that hes my favorite of the supes family!
lemme just say there have been two super boys 
1. young Clark Kent
2. underdeveloped superman clone (ill explain) I'm going over this one

Lex Luthor tried to make a superman that he could control and use against the original.
after multiple tests super boy not yet a man has gained consciousness and broke out. he refused to be called super boy at first believing he was superman. this was right around the death of superman so he and other super humans fought a world without the man of steel once Superman comes back to life* forces the name super boy upon him. he was a founding member of young justice and later joined the teen titans. when super boy (young Clark Kent) came to the future got enraged to find a world where he was not the only one who could "lift a car over there head" and even more pissed to figure out that someone else was super boy. super boy fights super boy and they kill each other. sad but i know who to blame! the people who created superman wanted to copyright super boy (but strangely not superman) so the were legally forced to kill him.

Next is Steel (no powers super suit!)

John Henry irons was saved by superman and inspired to fight crime. he had a green thumb with metal and tools. and made a super suit mimicking super mans powers and has a huge metal hammer. its making a reference t John Henry that train track worker guy.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!! THE MAN OF STEEL HIMSELF SUPERMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You probably know who he is so ill just start with his origin. he was the son of the smartest man on Krypton, Jor-El. when the planet krypton exploded Jor-El sent Baby Kal-El (super mans kryptonian name.) off to earth in a rocket. superman got his powers because kryptonians intellect was powered by there red sun, but under our yellow sun Superman's cells were being powered with super strength, laser vision and super speed. his flight is from the smaller gravitational pull than krypton. his heat vision is fromcomplex microwave manipulation. x-ray vision has no reason its just there. he can breath in space because he can store hours of air in his lungs, and if he leaves in there for a while he can use it for freeze breath.



*superman was killed by doomsday, but his kryptonian cells were still being powered by the sun so he was still alive just extremely weak
