Character pages for Superman.

This page refers to characters from the Superman comic book series.

The Trope Codifier of the Superhero, the Man of Steel, the Last Son of Krypton, has amassed quite the large stable of characters over the years, several of which are almost as iconic and famous as himself.

This page includes other continuities through various media into the mix.

Remember, this page is for characters and examples from the Main DC Superman series only. Please do not list characters, or examples from other shows, movies, or alternate universes here. If you have thought of a trope that fits a Superman from another universe, please take that example to its respective page.

WARNING: There are unmarked spoilers on these pages for all but the most recent comics.
