Superman was born on the planet Krypton. Jor-El and Lara sent their son, Kal-El to earth as they became aware of the destruction of their planet. Jor-El places Kal-El in a spacecraft and sends him to earth. Kal-El lands in Smallville, Kansas. He is discovered by Jonathan and Martha Kent. He is raised as Clark Kent and as he is growing his super powers are discovered. With the guidance of his parents, Clark uses his powers responsibly to help others and to fight crime. Clark keeps his powers and his alien origins a secret to protect his friends. As he continues to fight crime and help humanity, Clark uses the disguise as Superman. You, know, with the cape and S! Superman doesn't kill his villains if he can avoid it, he simply turns them over to the proper authorities. The only real danger to Superman is the debris from his plant's explosion. It is radioactive and is lethal to Superman.
As Clark grows, he moves to Metropolis. He works as a reporter at the Daily Planet. Jimmy Olsen and Perry White become a part of his social circle, as well as Lois Lane. Lois Lane writes many stories of Superman and they develop romantic feelings for one another. It's fun to watch/read as Clark Kent has to balance Superman, Lois Lane and his job at the Daily Planet.
I think the Superman is a story of someone who helps others, without expecting anything in return. I think we should all try to be more like that!
I love sharing the stories of Superman with my children. They love the stories, whether they are through tv programs or our comic books.
Superman becomes the subject of frequent headline stories written by Lois, and the two become romantically attracted to each other.

I agree, helping others shouldn't be about self gain but there is a fine line we can cross where we allow ourselves to be taken advantage of. Not everyone can be superman.
