Superman

This week on Under the Mask, the spotlight turns to the original superhero: Superman. Often dismissed as too powerful or too perfect, he is revisited not as a childhood favorite, but as the blueprint for the entire genre. The episode explores his Kryptonian origin, the sacrifice that sent him to Earth, and the discipline required to live with near limitless power. It also dives into his ideological battle with Lex Luthor and the cultural impact of a hero who represents hope in uncertain times. Nearly ninety years later, the question remains: how does someone that powerful choose to stay good?
