Geocache Description:

*** THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES ***


Superman, nicknamed The Man of Steel, is a fictional character and superhero who first appeared in Action Comics #1 in 1938 and eventually became one of the most popular comic book heroes of all time.

The character, who was created by Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel subsequently appeared in various radio serials, television programs, and films.

Superman was born Kal-El on the planet Krypton. He was sent to Earth in a rocket by his scientist father Jor-El moments before Krypton exploded, landing on Earth outside the town of Smallville, where he was discovered and adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent. As he grew, he discovered that he possessed superhuman powers. When not fighting the forces of evil as Superman, he lives disguised as Clark Kent, a "mild-mannered reporter" for the Daily Planet. Clark is married to fellow reporter, Lois Lane.
