Sent to Earth as an infant from the dying planet Krypton, Kal-El was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland as Clark Kent. Using his immense solar-fueled powers, he became Superman to defend mankind against all manner of threats while championing truth, justice, and the American way!
Ive known of Superman pretty much as early as I can remember but the Reeve movie was my first real knowledge of the character and I saw that pretty young.
I had a vague idea of Superman when i was in kindergarten, I knew he wore a red cape and could fly, and i knew what his logo looked like. It was connected with a newsstory about this kid who jumped out a window dressed as superman that I heard my mom talking about. When you are a kid, flying is the coolest power in the world. The only superhero i really knew of was Batman. I grew up with the movies and the cartoon. When you are a kid growing up to be batman seems like a very real possibility haha.
Very young. I don't know exactly how much but I remember having a comic from the Return of Superman that I completely destroyed with scribbles and stick-men with capes :P
