With the amazing new Superman film Man of Steel coming our way in the not to distant future (well...Friday 14th June to be exact), we thought it would be the perfect time to dig up some cool, interesting and perhaps shocking Superman facts to tickle your superhero taste buds in preparation for the action packed feature film.

Some of these you may already know, some you might not (we didn't!), but sit back and breath it all in :)

1) Superman was originally created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster waaaay back in 1932 but was rejected many times by many different publishers. When Jerry and Joe originally created Superman he also wasn't the bright blue and red caped superhero we all love today which may have been a reason.

2) Superman wasn't actually born 'Super'. That's right! All people on his home planet Krypton are essentially powerless as the planet has a red Sun, it's not until Superman lands on Earth which Sun is yellow which means a Kryptonian's cells can absorb and convert these new solar rays into incredible power. As young Clark Kent grew older, he grew more powerful as his body was able to store more solar energy and convert it more effectively making him super!

3) The S in the Superman shield logo doesn't actually stand for Superman. Wowowowhaaat?! The explanation for Superman's symbol has changed a few times. For decades, the comics simply said it was nothing more than a stylized monogram designed by Clark and his adopted parents, something they whipped up together after deciding on his new alias. HOWEVER....Superman: Birthright, writer Mark Waid revealed that the symbol was not a family crest, as the films had first indicated, but was an ancient Kryptonian symbol that meant "hope." The name Superman came after the symbol was created.
