"Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound." 

These famous words preceded every episode of the Adventures of Superman TV series. I grew up with these words and in my opinion they comprise the most remarkable of all superhero CV's. Yet, despite his super résumé, Superman is the most underrated superhero today.

Back in the middle of last century he was my favorite hero. Superman was my not my only TV hero. The Lone Ranger, Davie Crockett and Zorro were also heroes of mine but Superman was different, Superman was a superhero.  Bullets ricochet off of his chest, he could fly and he had x-ray vision. Jeez, x-ray vision! What Superhero has x-ray vision? (What grownup says Jeez?)
