With soon to be release of Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan’s film ‘The Man of Steel’, 8Ball.co.uk has created an infographic that looks at the full history of Superman, including how Superman receives his power from the sun—which gives him super-fast reflexes, strength, heat vision and many more—and without the sun, he will actually be powerless.

Created in the 1930s, Superman aka Clark Kent was originally created as a villain, he was soon changed into a superhero.

It also revealed how his iconic ‘S’ logo was not just a symbol, but also representation of the word ‘hope’ in his home planet of Krypton.
