Who knew the humble and generous Clark Kent would grow up to be such a stellar person? Clark didn't even know himself who or what he was until after high school.

Clark Kent had the capacity to become a super star athlete but his wise parents knew this would lead to no good and would be a waste of his extra ordinary talents.

The makers of Superman III were keenly aware that computers can be used for good, profit and stealing - especially from within. Here Gus Gorman is hacking into Websco Company - nearly a decade before the 'web' became a household word.

The flag of the Daily Planet is composed of four colours - navy blue, white, light blue and brownish orange. The background is navy blue and a geographic globe of the earth is at the center. Around the earth is the name of of the newspaper 'The Daily Planet' with seven white stars nearer the bottom.



In the 1980s news still had a hardline professional element - as things of great importance were printed in black and white. The 1980s was the final heyday for newspapers - since the internet was still a loose network or hardcore gamers and government agencies.

The Superman Jack - Superman 1980

Notice the red, white, and blue jack of the yacht

A unique flag makes an appearance in the 1980 Superman film starring Christopher Reeve. The special flag is a jack - only flown at the 'front' or bow of a ship.

The jack has a red and white frame along the outer edge, with red further out. A blue triangle is in the middle. A white horizontal line divides the blue triangle into two parts - a trapezoid by the hoist and another triangle towards the fly.

Hands down, Christopher Reeve was the best Superman to fly into the imagination of the world.

In 1980 audiences in Asia, Europe, Australia, America and Africa were mesmerized by Reeves' humble yet skillful portrayal of the legendary Superman - that exists in all men.
