I think maybe writer Jerry Siegel created Superman to quell his rage at his mother’s super powers. Otherwise, I think he would have killed her.
Jerry must have hated -- and loved – the way his mother’s xray vision saw his despair before it even registered on his heart. And the way her laser hearing always tuned to trouble before it happened. And the way her superior strength dismantled the torpedo of a bad mood.
If you need proof, I submit to you the costume his illustrator, Joe Shuster designed – tights, a cape and just one forehead curl.
