When Siegel told Shuster what he was doing, Shuster reacted by burning their rejected Superman comic, sparing only the cover. Siegel believed publishers kept rejecting them because he and Shuster were young and unknown, so he looked for an established artist to replace Shuster. Although Consolidated expressed interest, they later pulled out of the comics business without ever offering a book deal because the sales of Detective Dan were disappointing. A delegation from Consolidated visited Cleveland that summer on a business trip and Siegel and Shuster took the opportunity to present their work in person. Siegel and Shuster put together a comic book in a similar format called The Superman. It contained all-original stories as opposed to reprints of newspaper strips, which was a novelty at the time. In May 1933, Consolidated had published a proto-comic book titled Detective Dan: Secret Operative 48. Siegel and Shuster showed this second concept of Superman to Consolidated Book Publishers, based in Chicago. In later years, Siegel once recalled that this Superman wore a 'bat-like' cape in some panels, but typically he and Shuster agreed there was no costume yet, and there is none apparent in the surviving artwork. Additionally, this new Superman was a crime-fighting hero instead of a villain, because Siegel noted that comic strips with heroic protagonists tended to be more successful. Siegel modified Superman's powers to make him even more sensational: Like Bill Dunn, the second prototype of Superman is given powers against his will by an unscrupulous scientist, but instead of psychic abilities, he acquires superhuman strength and bullet-proof skin. This prompted Siegel to revisit Superman as a comic strip character. If they wanted to make a successful comic strip, it had to be something more sensational than anything else on the market. However, the newspaper editors told them that their ideas weren't sensational enough. They wanted to become syndicated newspaper strip authors, so they showed their ideas to various newspaper editors. Siegel and Shuster shifted to making comic strips, with a focus on adventure and comedy. ' The Reign of the Superman', a short story by Jerry Siegel (January 1933) He was the best-selling superhero character in American comic books up until the 1980s. Although there are earlier characters who arguably fit this definition, it was Superman who popularized the superhero genre and established its conventions. Superman is the classic archetype of the superhero character: he wears an outlandish costume, uses a codename, and fights evil with the aid of extraordinary abilities. Superman's supporting characters include his lover and fellow journalist Lois Lane, photographer and friend Jimmy Olsen, and archenemy Lex Luthor. Clark resides in the fictional American city of Metropolis, where he works as a journalist for the Daily Planet. To protect his personal life, he changes into a colorful costume and uses the alias 'Superman' when needed. His adoptive parents advised him to use his abilities for the benefit of humanity, and he decided to fight injustice and disasters. Clark developed various superhuman abilities, such as incredible strength and impervious skin. He was found and adopted by farmers Jonathan and Martha Kent, who named him Clark Kent. His ship landed in the American countryside, near the fictional town of Smallville. As a baby, his parents sent him to Earth a small spaceship moments before Krypton was destroyed in a natural cataclysm. Superman was born on the fictional planet Krypton and was named Kal-El. Superman has been adapted to a number of other media which includes radio serials, novels, movies, television shows and theatre.
