"Strange visitor from another world!"

Simple, square-jawed, no-nonsense, clean cut heroism from 1938.

This is the very first Superman, as envisioned by Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster.

Isn't it a paradox? He seems to of changed a lot and yet not at all...Of course, these were the days before he flew, had heat vision, Kryptonite and even Krypton...Just incredibly strong and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

I love the way this figure has even kept the slightly odd proportions of his head and arms.

Possibly my favourite Superman so far...
