SUPERMAN
The Man of Steel
ORIGIN
Sent to earth from Krypton as an infant by his parents Jor-El
and Lara, Kal-El was found and adopted by Jonathan and Martha
Kent. Renamed Clark Kent, the boy grew up with good old midwestern
values. Upon discovering his powers that were gained by absorbing
the radiation from a yellow sun, Clark became Superman, defender
of justice. Clark works in his real identity as a mild-mannered
reporter for the Daily Planet.
FIGURE STATS
Superman has a cloth cape and a super action punch that is activated
by squeezing his legs together. Clark Kent is dressed in a blue
suit and has his trademark glasses. (To see Clark Kent go to
the Mail-Ins page in
the History section).
COMMENTS
Of course, Kenner had no choice in releasing the flagship character
in DC's stable. Excellently sculpted, this figure since has
turned up in Toy Biz's DC Superheroes line. Recently Kenner
has started a whole line devoted to The Man of Steel, centering
on his contemporary comic exploits. Currently plans exist for
an animated series for fall 1996 and a tie-in toy line.
