In the original comics Smallville is in Iowa. I don't think it moved to Kansas until the Donner movie. That's roughly 40 years of Kansas and 40 years of Iowa. I think both should be accepted.

In the original comics, Smallville's location was never specified. Same with Metropolis.

Metropolis, Illinois begs to differ. They have a giant statue of him, and in the 1970s the IL state legislature proclaimed it the official hometown of Superman, so it must be true.

Pre-Crisis, Smallville's state was never specified (as DC tends to do, like with Metropolis and Gotham City). One comic in 1978 said it was "a quiet town, nestled in the hills just inland from the eastern seaboard." Other official or officially sanctioned sources implied it to be in Maryland, or somewhere in the Poconos of northeastern Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey. Another placed it near Interstate 70, which could put its state anywhere between Maryland and Utah. At no point was there a definitive, widely-accepted answer.

Until Post-Crisis, of course. After John Byrne's reboot of Superman's origins, it's been pretty firmly established to be in Kansas. That gives us approximately 47 years of conflicting and uncertain locations, versus 36 years of Kansas.

Under "his father's name" you should put "his biological father's name." Jonathan Kent raised him and an important part of the Superman mythos is that his earth parents loved him like their own.

I've never consumed any superman related media - no comics, no movies, no TV - yet I got all but two. I honestly have no idea where I knew 'Kal-El' from, but the character has clearly saturated the cultural zeitgeist. To be honest, though, one of the main reasons I've never got into it all is that he seems like a kind of boring character.

Completely agree. I'm not interested in Superheroes at all anyway but a protagonist who you know can basically do anything makes for very uninteresting stories

Technically, Doomsday didn't kill Superman. He just beat him into a healing coma that resembles human death.

Got them all except Doomsday, which was rattling around in my brain just out of my reach. I only got "Bizarro" from Seinfeld, and they don't even tie it to Superman directly. There's an episode where Elaine dates an opposite version of Jerry, and they label him "Bizarro Jerry." The show mentions Jerry's love of Superman a bunch of times, so I figured once I saw the clue that that's where Jerry got the name.

The Bizarro episode is one of my all time favorites. There's been a rumor going around since the show was on air that there's at least one reference to Superman in every episode of the series. Pretty sure that's false, but there are a lot --- thanks in large part to a Superman figurine on a shelf in his apartment.

Fun fact, in Michigan we have something called Superman ice cream which is a mixture of red, yellow, and blue ice creams.

The blue flavor is usually something called Blue Moon. No one is really sure what Blue Moon is, what it tastes like, or where it comes from. Every ice cream maker has their own secret recipe.

And the Europeans say we don't have any culture!

Yes. Many Superman things were just kinda made up as the years went on. Kryptonite became a thing because the voice actor on the 1940s radio show demanded some time off, so they made Superman get kryptonite poisoning, thus Superman had to leave Metropolis for awhile to recuperate.

Superman is not “fact”. He’s fiction.
