Superman was spotted flying above Santa Monica amid the sunset on Monday, June 17. 2013. Superman has super-everything—strength, speed, flight, invulnerability as well as his renowned X-ray and heat vision. He remains the most powerful being on the planet. His incredible powers are legendary, his famous red-and-blue costume is unmistakable and the S-shield emblazoned across his chest is iconic. Born Kal-El on the doomed planet Krypton, rocketed to Earth and raised by the kindly Kents he was destined to battle evil as Superman, The Man of Steel.
