Superman!

I've been thinking quite a bit lately on the creation of superman.  How unbelievable that he went through that many transformations to finally become resolved as the formidable comic book giant that he is today.  It makes sense in hindsight that the characters aren't just born so creatively as to remain solid forever, but rather to develop very dynamically through time.  But it still creates basic flaws in the concept of the character from a reader's stand point.  It's like suddenly this tower of so many fundamental (albeit non-human) truths emanating from such a powerful character even though fictional is destroyed.  Not the truths, more like the symbol for the truths.  More on the lack of Superman to come I'm sure because I highly doubt that this rant is over just yet.
